Jeff, The player is a sweet board. I have been riding them since they came out. Last season I switched to the Natural and haven't looked back. They ride pretty similar, but the natural rides higher in the water and has a bit more of a snow feel and bigger pop. Look for good deals on both, but I say go big and get the natural. If you want to stick with Obrien on bindings, I have a pair of the xenons and they have put up with a ton of abuse for a season and a half. If you go with Argons, or Radons, they are great too, but get into a shop to be sure they fit well. Best of luck!
