I just bought the Triple X Slasher 5'0" with the 3" fins. I used to ride the 5'6" Hyperlite Broadcast. I am 6'1" 245lbs and would consider myself an intermediate rider. After demo'ing 6-7 different boards, I liked the Triple X Slasher the best. It seems to have good potential for airs but also spins. For me the Slasher fit my needs (and wake) best. Other boards that I demo'd before deciding on the Triple X- <BR> <BR>1. Phase 5 oogle (I am more of a surfer than skimmer) <BR>2. IS sweet spot- Very fast but I did not like this board on the steep Epic Goofey wake <BR>3. Ronix Koal- This board dents WAY too easy, don't waste your time. <BR>4. IS Yellow loogey- I like the yellow and green loogey, but the slasher seemed to hold me a little better. <BR>5. Hyperlite Coex- I liked this board but wanted a little bigger board, but my wife loved it the coex, so we bought it for her. <BR>6. IS skim board- Black Pearl? I think is the name of it??? Again, i'm not agile and fleet-footed enough to be a skimmer. <BR> <BR>Unfortunately, none of the dealers in Boise had a Shred Stixx Stixxtreme board that I could demo, but I really would have liked to try one out. Only way I could get one was if I purchased it sight unseen/unridden and I was not willing to take that chance on a $550+ board. <BR> <BR>I bought my board from Triple X team rider Nick Scott, he's on this board regularly hit him up if you have more ?'s, his profile name is Nikki Sixxx <BR> <BR>Hope that helps.
