I will try to keep ths short. My buddy brought out a 142 ONE today and everybody one the boat got to try it. All I can say is SWEEEEET!!! Now I am no pro or even close to it, but this board was super fun to ride and had great pop, nice smooth transition, especiialy for a 3 stage abrupt rocker type board. I use to ride a 04 Parks and wen to a 06 Watson cause I was sick of the hard landings and sometimes unpredictability of the Parks board. The ONE boards seemed to be able to incorpoarte both of what I liked and wanted. Great pop(more than the Watson) and much smoother than the Parks. Landings were alot smoother than I expected, especially after first seeing the board on the boat, before riding it. The only thing I persoally would change is it had 1.0 fins and I like a looser feel, so I would have liked to try it with some .7 or .8's. Other than that I had alot of fun and am very impressed all the way around. O yea, one really nice feature are the heel and toeside edges are rounded, where you would grab the board, feels great when your going for the grabs. Nice on the hands. I am excited to try some of there other boards, especially the Covenant. Time will only tell I guess.
