It's all about aesthetics (sort of). For me with these uber hybrid, somewhat more retro inspired boards I reckon the Bamboo of RF is just a better look. Mind you, I don't own any of these boards and with my Dom more comfortably foamed don't really feel I need one.
But if I did own one of these boards it'd probably be a sweet potato or baked potato in RF with no tail pad.
I really like the look of the enviro-flex/crossfire Dom and Sweet Potato. Best of both worlds if you ask me!
Yeah, forgot about those. Sweeeet looking boards.
Enviro flex?? what is that?
I think it's just the crossfire construction but it uses an Eco resin and maybe a different fibreglass too. There's a description in the 2012 brochure.
Yeah got to agree re the crossfire...looks smick but...still hard to fix ding discretely...
didnt want to let the cat out of the bag before, but just noticed the white tops on the website....there ya go guys...but i still like to get wood.......
OK, I just realised it's on the website!

"White Rapidfire: A product of continued research and development, the White Rapidfire construction substitutes a PVC-free and VOC-free composite deckskin for the original bamboo inlay. This composite maintains the overall flex and durability of the board giving it the same great Rapidfire ride with a fresh new appearance."
Wow interesting. Good idea for those who prefer white and the RF flex pattern. Half way to direct drive I guess.
I fondled a couple of white rapid fires today ..one was a hellfire and the other an alternator so not only the MB's .. they look unreal....
