Hi, I´ve found a goos deal with an obrien player 2003. The problem is that i´m from Spain and I can´t demo that board, but apparently I like it. I would appreciate some feedback on this board; how pops, speed, loose, weight of the board, etc. And if you have any pic of the board I´d appreciate too, because i´ve only seen the typical view from the board guide.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english!!

Watkins rips on it and it looks like a good overall shape.
I say go for it. Check it out:

Great board, I ride an 03 Player 143 and started riding better as soon as I got on it. If you ride it with the center fins in it tracks unbelievably well, ride it finless (it still has 4 molded fins on both ends) and it loosens up quite a bit. I prefer to ride it finless, I think it rides a little smoother and is easier to spin but hey thats just me. It is a three stage rocker so it has a really pronouced pop at the top of the wake and lands really smooth. Its not a tremendously fast board but with all of those fins its easy to get it up to speed.
