Darkside is a locked in feeling just like the code. I ride a 136 normally, I rode teh 139.5 and it felt comfortable like a 136. It's locked in, pretty quick, great pop, and great landing. Definitely run the 0.8 fins, or find a set of 0.6. Late pop, might have been a mind game, but it really did seem like my back foot got booted harder
The One is way surfy compared to the Darkside. Much looser, carving is more mellow. Still very fast going into the wake. I had to wait for the One to get on edge before it really hit the gas. Pop was really instant. Landing was soft too. Just not as much grip.
If you like a board that's more playgul, go with the One. If you like something you can edge hard and hit the flats, go with the Darkside
