The Eden has the same shape as the State (I think 05 and 06 are the same shape) It was designed to help beginner riders with edge, specially ts edge. Its a good shape, but I think its a heavy board. What level are you at? If youre a beginner I would recommend it. If you want an intermediate to advanced board, I would highly recommend the LF Cadence, or the LF Angel. They're very lightweight and are great boards to progress on. Either way buy LF bindings, they're the most comfortable.
