Did the Premier change at all in 2006? The tips look different but I didn't know if the shape had changed at all. Thoughts? <BR>

Yes! it changed. It's a similar ride to last year, but a little faster and less swing weight. It also has jibb rails on it for sliders. I would switch to it, but I don't like the graphics on the 136.

The board rides sweet! They made the molded-in fins shorter (not as tall), and the addition of the jib rails gives the feel of the old <BR>"flow channel". Since the 04 model was narrower than the newer, wider shapes it didnt have the pop. But now the new, wide shape has the old feel of "flow channel" stability. You MUST try it! <BR> <BR>Al

the 2006 Premier is a new mold this year. New graphics, new design, awsome board!!!

russel, that is what i think too <BR>

i hate the 136 graphics as well, i've been thinking about getting the 131 <BR>
