How do you like it if you have one or have rode one. I can get a good deal on a 137 so of course I am thinking about. The knees are not what they used to be so a softer landing board is a must. Any input would be great.

thanks

Well I have the 2005, and i love the ride, its pretty fast, and has some really good pop, but i really dont think that the landings are what i'd call soft, they definitely arent really harsh, but our boat board an 04 LF Fusion, IMO has softer landings, awesome board, but if your really worried about landings, maybe find something else.

Byerly...fast...never heard that used in the same sentence.

Then perhaps its cause you've never ridden one or havent seen any of my other posts about it, or even that youve never read any of the reviews on that board.

This new faster rocker line has the explosiveness you could only get from this trademark bend. Straight from the Hyperlite company comments in the board wizard.

I think the board is a little slow, but it tracks really well. I land out in the flats usually, so those can be a bit harsh anyway. It has really good pop, but it is a little heavy too. All around it is a nice board, but you'll see it's a love or hate type of thing.
