Hey i just bought a 05 HL era 142 w/era bindings and i was just wondering the general opinion of this setup. Ice is out this week on AK lakes and i'm gonna be riding this weekend so i guess i'll find out for myself anyway but i was just wondering what others thought. Also looking for the weight of the board. I havn't been able to find it online.
Not sure about the 05, but I have the 06 137 and I love it. Sits high in the water, and gets great pop. I think its pretty smooth for a 3 stage as well, since it is a subtle 3 stage.
i have the 06 era 137, and i'm generally happy with it. handles like a continuous, but it doesn't seem to pop like my 02 belmont did. also seems heavy. probably because i'm coming from a DNA core with '99 raider boots. (i have transits on the era).
i have the 05 era on era set up. it has worked well for me, i came from the 02 premier.. it feels faster , stronger on rail, and has more pop-- to me anyway
i am interested in the L7 core in the 06 boards. peace
