LF Watson or O'Brien Natural??

Both thse board are kind of what ended tie in my pre purchase studie...lol

i know some of you will say its preference, but if you ever experience one of these two boards, let me know what you think.

im looking for insane pop, decent edge hold and speed...

just by curiosity, how is the new LF Shane board. i rode a subjekt one time last year and it seemed relly nice.

Thsnk,

The Natural is a kick ass board, it has all the stuff you mention and I highly suggest going for it... I love it.

But then again, I havn't rode the Watson.

The Watson is absolutely unbelievable. Hats off to LF!!!!! The really got something right with this board!

both super nice board...i finaly convinced our local dealer to demo their board and i tried em both...WOW

Which did you choose, Karvin? Or did you just ride?

i went with the natural. awesome pop and edge hold. if the natural was a sword. it would be a katana...lol

congrats.....around here there really aren't that many obrien dealers....I wish I had a chance to try out some of Obrien's stuff.....However I kinda got that brand loyalty to LF....I was very close to switching but just couldn't bring myself to....Although, personally, I am glad because I love my Watson. Maybe one day I will run into someone with the natural for me to try out.

I would like to try out the vice too...if i could ever get the chance.

Is the watson a good board for someone learning. i have been boarding for a year. Looking at getting the watson board and bindings. Have just sold my omega 1995 with syphix bindings.

omega 1995? huh? well, i will just assume you meant 2005 Omega. Yeah, I had the Omega and actually that was a great board for learning. The Watson is a little advanced but I think most would be to handle it with a few "get used to" runs.

Cheer Nate, SO you think it would easy enough to ride after a few runs. It looks sweet and the bindings look the job.

These two boards were also my two choices I narrowed down too. I actually liked the Natural a little better because it was a little speedier. Both had soft landings. I went with the Watson though due to no local dealer support for O'Brien (hard to believe in Houston, TX) and the Watson lands just a bit softer. It is a slow board though. Lots of people don't like how slow it is.

The Natural is the fastest 3 stage board I have ridden and it still pops sweet and lands really soft.

I ride the 05' Watson, which is now ridden by Santori. If you want a faster board with a lot of Pop. Go with a substance.

jason i think its about time for you to come and help me fix the slider and slay the beast.
