Ive been riding between an 08 140 murray and a 139 obrien natural.
I absolutely love the way the natural rides and how forgiving it is and how soft it lands. The best part is the board sends me way out into the flats without even trying.
I also love the way the murray rides but my favorite attribute is how high it boosts me. The only problem is it doesnt send me nearly as far into the flats.
So basically im looking for a board that pops as hard as the murray but sends me into the flats like the natural and rides like the natural. I have a feeling this is a 2 way road and ill have to choose what i want.
To me, the Decade has more upward pop then the Natural, yet it is still very fast making it easy to get out into the flats. It also seemed to land even softer then the Natural.
Check it out when you get the chance, it is a sweet ride!
haha ive ridden the monarch too. Def a fast 3 stage board with tons of verticle pop but i think the board was a lil too much for me as i am not that good yet.
