I have a TEMET 2004 BIO, and I am very satisfied.
good control, stable and predictable.

My board has 0.8 Pwing fins

What size is the green TEMET Shawn rides in Pre-Pop? Is that the 136?

Man I have an old 136 of his I like, and looking for a new board this summer and can’t decide between that one & the LF Fish. I’m 5’5” 150lbs, and the 138 says for riders 140lbs and up, and the 132 says for riders up to 160lbs. Any suggestions???

Ive heard that the fish is slow, and has hard landings, because of it being short and wide. I went from a motive 134 (the old belmot 2001) to a LF team 139 (I grew so the sizes work out) Its a great board, check it out.

where and from whom did you hear that the fish board has hard landings? i'm really curious cause i'm looking to demo that board and i've heard the opposite about the landings.

The fish has some of the softest landings ever. As soon as I get a little more moola in the bank, I'm gonna switch from my 136 Temet to a 129 Fish. I never really liked the Temet. Too rolly from toe to heelside edge. I will agree that the Fish is a super slow board, but the great thing is it can get away with it. The board holds such a nice edge up the wake and is so explosive that you don't need a super hard aggressive cut to get it to work for you.
Jamie, I'm about 5'9" 195 lbs and liked the 129 Fish. You should probably go with the next size down.

AJ – Thanks for the info. My local board shop guy is the LF rep for the area and I’m sure he will have one to demo. Do they offer one smaller than 129? That just sounds sooo small, but I bet with its pop spins should be easy.

Yeah, they offer a 125 also. It is a real trip when you first get up and realize your feet are basically hanging off the front and back of the board. After you get over the way it looks though, you never notice the length again. The wide stance on the board helps keep the super aggressive pop very consistent in comparison to many other 3-stage boards.
