I am looking to get a new board this year. Currently im riding an 06 obrien valhalla. My buddy has an 03 belmont dna i rode the other day. I really liked the way it rode.
Do the new Murrays ride like the old ones? It felt fast and light. Good pop.
The new Murray shape is way different than the 03 Belmont. It is has traded the fast and light feeling for more abrupt pop and consequently a slow plowing ride.
I would recommend the LF Witness, or HL Tribute. The Witness is a hybrid so it is a little bit slower than a continuous, but the Tribute is an absolute rocket.
The HL Motive is the same as the Belmont. Same mold, just re-named. They may have changed the fins, but the shape is the same. Not sure if they still made the motive after 2007 though, but you should be able to find one on e-bay or something.
