rrp, because they are sexy, and easily use the pole spring, but there are lots of guys that'll tell ya to go for the xmetal, probably cant go wrong either way

for the money, XMetal.
I like the look of the RRP's but dont think I would ever use one when XMetal does the job for half the money.

isn't the x-metal lighter than the RRP? I thought the RRP was the heaviest of all aftermarket poles.

yes. X-Metal are lighter.
Can't go wrong with either. I have the old X-metal pole on my ski and love it.
The RRP is damn sexy. I am going to put one on my Wife's SXR this winter.

Springs are possible with X-metal... i personally have one.
I have had mine for about 3 years now (old style)... the powder coating is starting to bubble underneath.

Xmetal pole all the way. 5" of adjustability and no exposed threaded rod on the underside. Plus, the steering setup is cleaner, and the pole has a curve to it instead of two angles. In addition, the pole itself is lighter as well as the mounting bracket. The one final thing is the fact that it is less expensive than an RRP. Plus, it's MADE IN THE USA!

If you are riding surf, you want a studier pole. I have broken a couple stock poles and seen a ton of poles get torn off skis. Limiting ropes help. But the Oregon Surf can be brutal and unforgiving.
Come see for yourself at the Blowsion Surfslam. No east coast waves here baby!
