I ride the 2004 and love it. I think it lands a little hard sometimes, but not too bad. Some guys think it's a little slow but it's never been a problem for me. If you can, I would get the 2004. The center fin comes off on the 04.
I know a few guys who really love that board. It's got deep molded fins and rides pretty tail heavy. Most of the folks who ride it have removed the center fin. Basically it's the 2004 Tattoo, which might be a better option. Also those who liked it really liked the Transcend a ton.
