My Comments:
I'v been riding this board over the first few months of Melbourne's summer mostly in Altona flat water. Coming from the xenon La Luz this board was a lot more freestyle orientated with the stiffest flex in the Xenon range for 2011. The boards tips have moderate flex which stiffens through in the middle. I find the flex enough to get massive pop but still flex enough on landings, so you can stick your tricks.
The construction on the board is wicked allowing you to hit kickers without stressing about snapping your precious Infra.The board has a slight continuous rocker and concave the flattens out at the tips. The boards best suited to a rider that doesn't want compromise on the water and rides flat water mainly.

2012 xenon infra 133
Rider: Advanced
style: Wakestyle/freestyle
Build Quality: 8/10
satisfaction: 9/10

My comments:
I've been riding the 132 xenon laluze (2010) for quite a few months now so ill be comparing it to that, also i have switched to riding boots and now ride the infra with ronix one boots and no fins.
So far I've been riding the infra for a bout a month now in a range of different conditions, chop, flat water and even over head sloppy wave at Alva. At a first glance the board has fairly simple graphics, but a sleek 3d look and heaps of rocker.
Performance wise this board doesn't disappoint, even in chop it handles fairly well, being stiffer than the laluz it does bounce around a bit but still has superb pop and nice landings.
where the infra really shines is when ridden in ultra flat water. especially with boots u can put the kite ultra low and load a huge amount of pressure in the lines for any trick and then come out to stomp your landing nice and smooth.
overall this is a grat board for anyone wanting to progress in the freestyle/wake department and is a great mach for boots.

Graphics look like they were designed by a two year old.

Would you prefer the euro-inspired graphics that are coming out on 'other' brands?
Personally the simple graphics look awesome.

When paying $xxx, I would be expecting for a little more in the graphics department than some black and white boxes! Personally I think the board looks like vomit.

Hope it rides better than it looks.

Apart from the excellent build quality, low weight and excellent 2 year warranty, the graphics just add to the standout quality of these boards.
Understated and excellent!
New shipment arriving soon (mid Jan).

The INFRA 133 is quite a nice board, i rode Harry's with bindings and it poped well and landed well.
The weight of the boards makes a massive difference.

This is a great board for flat water, the only thing i didnt like is the large fins so i changed them to small and it released well.
