2nd board

Hey all...1st post, hoping for a warm response. Been lurking all Summer while surfin' it up on my 5'6" Broadcast. I have literally read all of the posts dating back to last year but still looking for some advice. Keeping with the trend, I have quickly outgrown the Broadcast and I'm looking for the best board to take it to the next level. I did have the pleasure of riding an IS limited woody (not sure which one though, I think it was equivalent to the IS blue)? when I was just starting out and LOVED IT! My buddy just picked up the Red Tide and I HATE IT! It porpoises and buries the nose every time. The buoyancy factor wasn't that big of a deal for me, but might be for lighter riders and/or the chicas. I am 6' and 190lbs. I actually like the overall size and feel of the Broadcast but it is just waaaay too slow. We are surfing with a DD Mobius with about 1,800 lbs total ballast. Steep wake and small pocket. Working on stretching the wake, but it is what it is. Constant challenge to stay in the relatively small pocket and the Broadcast just leaves no room for error. We're starting to experiemnt with a few tricks but it's just not happening on the Broadcast. Most of my crew are mid-thirties and/or beginners and girls. Will keep the Broadcast for them. We probably will never get too jiggy with it but would like to pull 3's, shuvs and maybe a small air every once in awhile. I'd say we are surf-style all the way, although I have a solid skate background. In summary, I want a faster board that is a logical progression from the Braodcast with intermediate trick ability. Surprised how many choices there are all of a sudden and for $500 a pop, I want to be sure I get the right board this time around! Oogle? Loogie? Walzer? SS? I know this is a redundant type post but each rider, their style and boats deserve an individual look. I really appreciate any advice...Thanks all!!!

We surf Mile High!!!
