I rode the 142. It was probably WAY too big for me being 165 lbs and 6' tall. I always wanted to ride it. Honestly, I cant give it an accurate review. As i said the size was massive. Just before riding it i rode a 142 Slingshot recoil. (also bigger than i normally ride) The Imperial felt like a heavy beast after riding the slingshot (probably any traditional board would feel like a heavy beast after riding any slingshot board... like jumping from hot water to cold water) I could tell that it was pretty nice and mushy, in a good sense, on the landings because of the killer center spine. (still cant compete with slingshot landings though) It was really easy to get used to, but for some reason i just could not get the same uncontrollable supper flying pop out of it that i was getting minutes ago on the slingshot. I definitely set a personal new record air on the slingshot: 12 feet without a double-up... but then the boat was weighted till the swim platform was 1 foot under water and the tower had a hand made rigged extension on it that hurled me like a mad man through the air. I have never crashed so hard simply by airing it out without trick attempts.
try it out some day... and the slingshot too
