I need to replace my much-loved '04 TFD. I really like the way it rides and am hoping to get something a lot like it. Here are my requirements: 1) I want to support my local board shop so I need to stay with either Hyperlite or Ronix. 2) I am an intermediate rider and don't want a "beginner" board. I ride several days a week and have my 180s, grabs, etc. 3) I'd rather not buy a women's board. 4) I'm not crazy about asymmetrical boards - I've worked to get a good toeside edge and I don't want the board shape to 'help.' 5) Looking to stay in the 135-137 range. My 142 was WAY to big for me. 6) I'm a wake rider only - no rails. I'm ready to try a few new boards that are similar to the way my TFD rides. If all else fails I already know my shop has an '08 Pulse that would work or an older 3DS. When I retired my '01 Project I asked the same question and you all steered me right on the TFD. I'm also going to finally replace my '03 Parks bindings, too. I guess I'm worth a new setup every 5 years! What board would you suggest I demo?
