i love mine. i have an 04 id like to get an 02 dna. i rode about 10 boards last year before deciding on this one. im 5'8 150 and ride the 137. if i were you id get the 142. the board is quick into the wake much faster than a transcend but not as quick as a byerly or parks. the pop isnt huge but it is very consistent for a 3 stage which was very important to me. overall the board doesnt have anything that distinguishes it or any dominating characteristics. and those lack of characteristics is what i find most appealing.
I'd have to agree with Alan as far as it's character. It's a very forgiving board for being a three stage. One suggestion, at 210lbs you may want to go with the big boy 147 as I did. I've never ridden a three stage that landed so soft.
im 5'9 and i weigh about 170 and i ride the 135 from 2004... its by far the best board ive ever ridden.... its not really abrupt like the parks or bonifay, but still has some kick w/ it... its also quick on the edges... its the perfect board for me
Era rocks. I have 3 of the 4 sizes for my family, all except the 147. We range from beginner to solid intermediate and all love our boards. One thing that works great for us; take the fins off. You don't need em.
