i started out on an obrien science which i really liked. i am thinking of keeping my lynx bindings and buying an 07 obrien demented. although i am an obrien fan, i would be open to looking at other brands. any help???

If you give us more info such as you're riding style and what things you like in a board it will be a little easier to recommend a few other choices

regular stance, have all grabs down, but i still would like a board that tracks well for now. i am not comfortable yet riding a board that is loose. this year i hope to work on 180s, slides, etc.

Hyperlite Tribute, a hybrid rocker, that cuts really deep on a carve and has the speed of a continuous board, but then off the lip has the pop of a three stage. great board, I rode it yesterday!!

If you want to stick to Obrien, Natural or Valhalla will suit you.

I'd say the Natural the Valhalla is pretty loose compared to the Natural. The Natural is the best board I've ever ridden IMHO
