Elliott, I ride a Double Up 138 Nelson Pro and I absolutely love it. The pop is great , the edge holds great into the wake but you can get it loose whenever you want. dEMO, dEMO, dEMO!!!!!
I agree with E Double U. Demo the different DU boards. I ride a 141 Nelson Pro (last year´s model) and yes...it can get loose, but has quite a bit of pop.
I got the nelson 138 on clearance for $99 so I bought one. I don't use it as my main board, but I do use it for hitting sliders. It is also my guest board and I have ridden it on the wake twice. I would say its a pretty good board, but a little narrow for being a 138.
got my DU nelson 138 on ebay for like $160.. I LOVE it. I like how it breaks away from the surface easier than a byerly (or most other boards with molded fins) but has just enough traction with the twin side fins to keep you stable on a hard cut. Pop is great too, and the shape of the board looks sweet as hell.
Its a secret Chad, if i told you i would have to kill you. Im not telling because all there stuff is clearance and have limited quantities. They buy last years stuff from shops that didn't sell out their inventory.
PM? anyone. I already ride the nelson looking for a second or third seeing as though it looks like double up may be folding. I just want a few in the quiver for when I can't get a hold of the shape anymore and mine breaks or something.
