I've done some research but expert opinions are always appreciated. I'm probably an intermediate rider and currently ride an 07 HL Era 137 (finless) with LF Transits. Its ok, don't love it or hate it, but I think I'm gonna go with a flex board and pretty sure it will be a SS. The Era has a "subtle" 3 stage and I definately don't want to ride a board that would be any slower. I ride almost exclusively behind my 01 SAN 210 with a nice vert wake and only a day or two at the cable park per year. I've heard and read good things about all the SS boards. I have no opportunities to demo and I think I'm leaning towards the 09 Reflex. They describe it as a rail board which I do a little of, but it will be a wake board and I've heard its just as good behind the boat. I'm looking for a good, consistent pop without a ton of effort and a board that's loose and fairly quick. I'm 6'0 160 so I think I will size up to a 141/142. So I guess for anyone that has ridden multiple slingshot models do you think I'm leaning towards the right board or not and why? I'll also probably go with some D3's. Love the look of the PB Floyds but the the D3 is a stiffer boot and has quite a bit more support if I'm not mistaken? Thanks for the input!
