Im looking for something with a lil more pop than the natural but still as predictable and forgiving and fast as the natural.

Looking for a last years board.

I was looking so far at the marek, bside, one, shane, and witness.

Try the Lyman. I just got one and couldn't be happier. Fast, loose, and huge pop! Just what I was looking for.

i actually tried the lyman and didnt like it. Maybe the pop was too abrupt for me but it felt uncontrolable kind of.

I rode the murray last year and loved the pop on that but it was as fast as the natural and wasnt as forgiving.

i have the lyman and my dad has the watson. i wanted the lyman for a long time and finally got it. fell in love with it. then i rode his board adn was getting way more pop and having a blast with it. if you can ride the watson. do it for sure. i love it.

decade is a lil out of my price range right now since I can get deals from the mfg on cwb, LF, and hyperlite.

I really want a obrien but they wont hook it up if the shop i work for doesnt carry their product.

I haven't gotten to ride the others but my friend and I demoed the Marek last weekend. My buddy ended up buying it (wish I could afford it), but it had a solid take off and excellent landings.
