Where is the magic huh? I think my Pentaquark is greater than the sum of it's parts. It's a traditional haul ass board built with the newest tech around. From the specs to the build technologies, it's just really dialed.
The overall board feel is awesome. Here's what makes it really stand out to me: it somehow rides damp but lively. Your Tom Sims Pro probably rides damp. Traditional haul ass boards achieve dampness with extra epoxy, wet layups, extra stiff triax and carbon, and a thicker core. That's damp and heavy, and has a particular feel. On the other hand, Amplid built a very lively board and damped that down with antiphase and hexo2. Because they built a lively board, it's really light. Like, really, really light for how damp and stable it is. The hexo2 cutouts in the nose and between the feet reduce weight, reduce vibrations, and dial in the flex pattern. I know others have said that antiphase works, and it certainly does. The implications of that are larger than it might seem on the surface. It isn't just damp, it's hella lively and responsive too.
