you really should look at the gator boards caddy 135. its two molded fins and the option of using a center fin. comparable to the other boards, but great for free riding

I recently moved from an older Nelson to the Blade and feel like the Blade is giving me better pop. YMMV.

Speed and pop has more to do with correct technique than the board shape. Don't listen to Joe Blow telling you that a board is slow or fast, or has better pop than this or that board cuz you may have better technique than them. Just demo and check boards out for yourself if you can.

ahem.... slow = work harder to get decent speed to the wake of course technique has a lot to do with it. whoever said it doesn't is a royal dumbass.

It really depends on your style of riding. Personally I prefer a shorter board (I stand 5'6" and weigh 130lbs) for quicker rotations. Based on your list, I'd go for the Premier 130. I demo-ed the Absolute 134 last weekend and it's pretty sick as well, though it may be a bit too big for you at this stage.

But should i just forget about the liquid force nemesis because its a begginers board and i dont want a beginners board because i want something that cuts fast into the wake so i can jump and the nemisis doesnt look like it would help me at charging the wake

it's all heresay, but I heard that the nemesis supposedly cuts pretty aggressive and fast with its continous rocker - just take a look at what Philip Soven can do on this board. I still think either the Premier or the Absolute would be a better choice.

When your ready to buy, I have the full Gator Line up on my site. http://www.boardbag.com. I also think the Caddy 135 would be a great pick. It's a great freeride that's quick and effortless with lots of pop off the top. I also heard some great things about the 05 Rick G board! BoardBag.com
