Yeah, I just bought the 08 fujis (black ones), and haven't skied them yet, but from just flexing them, they seem a lot flexier than the 07's (yellowish checkered designed topsheets) or the 05's (red topsheets). Also, they have rivets in the tip and tail, a first for the fujative line. I was wondering whether my bases are unique, the white and black are switched on mine (big stretch of white in the middle, and the k2 logo on each tip is white surrounded by black). Did anyone else have this?
