I just got a LF EVO 138 and i love it. It breaks loose very well and is great so far in the chops. Landing is a little rough but i love this board! Great pop and tons of speed. It's good!

I am currently boardless, but that should change on Saturday. 2005 Absolute & 2005 Zeus, I can't wait to get it. Anyone in So/Cen-cal who wants to try need only take me riding, hint, hint... I have no shame, I apologize.

03 joyride dome 138 w/ new 04 parks (sweet bindings) i love this board it pops great, tracks very well but fins release easily when i want them to, and like in the description smooth or aggressive cuts you can just kinda chill on in and pop a nice w2w or crank it up and out into the flats. spins well too.

i have an 04' balance with transits..its a nice set up..i also have the 04 byerly with temet bindings that rides pretty good too go an 02 subjekt thats a real loose board and i have the trip thats a nice board i can take that way out in the flats but all the others are 3 stage and the byerly has a nice amount of kick to it. the balance is a real slippery board. but i've had the parks and the premier and i think im stickin with the byerly

I have an '01 Byerly 137, the kind that came with the massive 2" center fin. I bought it used for $100. The edges on the tips were splitting and flaking off. I used fiberglass filler to repair the edges. Now they're as good as new. I got rid of the old style Cleaver fin and drilled some new holes in the board to accomodate the newer 3 screw fins. I took some Byerly 1.2 P wings and ground them down on the top side (the side that touches the board) until they were cupped enough to fit the curvature of the older style boards. I took these fins from 1.2 down to 0.8 to fit the looser style of riding that I like. It took a few trips from the garage to the water and back before I got the fins just right. Not too sticky, not too loose. This may sound like a ghetto style set up, but I can tell you this is the best board I've ever ridden. I originally bought it as a guest board, but ended up liking it so much that I sold by brand new double up because I hardly ever rode it. With a little creativity you can find some really good deals out there on older boards if you're willing to take the chance on modifying them.

Richard - I've always said that shape was the best Byerly shape. They went downhill after that year. I've ridden that board and I liked it a lot.

i ride the obrien vision, its a 140 sliderbase, rides really nice, good consitant pop, awsome landings. my only gripe is that i used to ride the premier and i liked that it was loser when not on edge. i snowboard so i like the feel of a prety loose board, i think i'm gonna try to get .9" fins instead of the 1.1" that came on it. i used to ride the premier, its to small now and my little brother rides it, it is also a very nice board, i liked how the premier was looser in the water (ridden w/o center fin) keep in mind that when ppl tell you about there boards, bindings make a prety big difference. at least thats what i've found. for example, i recently got RFC bones for my bindings (being old liquid force with the thin plate) and it changed the whole feel of my ride, luckly for the beter

2004 Blindside Flower 134 (Assassin Model with a Flowers design) and an old 2000 Hyperlite Mikala 137. I love both. Not sure what I am going to get next year....I think I want one that I can ride finless for working on surface tricks. (Message edited by tcluv85 on September 11, 2004)
