What is the difference in the shape of the LF Shane from 08 to 09 and 10. I know they got rid of the cupped fins and gave it 4 molded in fins. I also know they changed up the sizing. But what differences have the changes made? Is it faster, slower, more pop, less pop, looser etc.

don't know the difference but i love my 08 shane!!!

a bit slower and a bit grippier (is that a word?). still a sick board!

So everyone is always yelling for folks to search, so I did and here's the thread I needed. I'm bumping it.

So in addition to the changes, which I am hoping at this point I can get you guys to ellaborate on even more, how does the newly shaped Shane, compare to the Watson? (I guess thats my only other real interest right now)

I am 5,10 @180 right now....would you vote for the 138, or 142? My board progression has been the 129 Fish, to the 2007136 Shane. I am afraid that the 142 is going to feel like a sled. I am a real basic rider working on 180's w2w.

Right now, I am on the 2007 Shane 136 which I love, but looking to upgrade. Anyone who has stepped up to the new shape, are you happy?
