I ride the 07 transcend and have since the summer/fall of 06 when it came out. I like the board a lot. It has good pop and soft landings. The pop is more of a bucking pop compared to the watson. I rode the 08 watson for a weekend this summer and also liked it a lot. It compared pretty good to the transcend. It had good pop but was a little more predictable pop, it was also a little tighter without the fins then the transcend without fins. I could see riding either but sold the watson to my buddy cause he needed a board and wanted the watson. In the end I'd say they're both great boards and you'll be happy with either.
