I want to buy either a 05 dna premier or an 06 premier. The 05 is cheaper but the 06 has a lifetime warranty. I want to know what the difference is in the 2 boards from someone who has rode both. Thanks alot.

I am pretty sure they both have the lifetime warranty. The 2006 model adds the ABS sidewall to protect it from dings on the edges if you drop the board or wack it on something.

Have you ridden both? I want to know the difference in the shapes...shouldnt be much

The '05 Bucks good but rides a little too slow. The molded in fins are a little big too, it's not nearly as loose finless as I wish it was. <BR> <BR>I've not ridden the '06 shape but if the made it faster and looser I don't see many other boards beating it.

The 06 is indeed faster and looser, with just a bit less pop, really just less "buck". Not too shabby, in my opinion.
