Balance and Substance?

how much different are the two? I ride a 135 Balance now and love the board, just would like to find some thing that rides close to the same but with a softer landing. Also do you think going up to the Balance 139 would make that much diff?

thanks

The substance is NOT a soft landing board.

yeah, if you want something that lands softer don't go to the substance. A bigger balance might work better for you though.

The substance is a man's board, with a man's pop, and a man's landing.

you are correct there my friend.

Try a Marius?

might have to demo one, just like the way the Balance rides. Holds edge well and is easy to break loose, only down side is hard landings in the flats.
Have you rode the Marius? If so what did ya think?

Charles, try the Marius it lands very soft and has a good pop. Another soft landing board is a HL 3ds.
