I was riding the Recoil since Slingshot came out, and always rode 3-stage before that, but switched it up to the Response last year so I could ride a bigger board (145). Both boards are awesome and honestly I cant really feel a big difference between the two. I think that because they do flex it kinda negates the whole 3-stage continuous thing. As you ride up the wake the board is flexing and changing shape unlike a conventional board that holds its shape no matter what. If you can, ride all the different boards and see what you like best. I don’t think the Recoil changed from 09 to 10, and the Response looks like its tip and tail shape changed a little. There was a big change in both boards from 08 to 09 though and the 09 is so much better than the 08, so make sure you at least go 09 on the SS stuff. I have not ridden the Co. stuff and ride the D3’s and love them.
