lightweight obrien boards

i'm eyeing a newer demented or player... what ever happened to the cirrus core boards?

i've been riding an 05 cwb absolute platnum recently & like that its lightweight but don't like how slow it is. i haven't been getting the air-time i used to get while riding my old cobe. it seems like i have to edge really hard on the absolute to get the same airtime as the cobe. does that sound right?
