im going with the cartel. i rode it this past weekend and i love it. its super light, loose, and explosive. i was going higher than before with less effort and i had so much fun doing surface tricks and just messing around. i opted out with the centre fin, yet i still had so much hold going into the wake. i felt like i had a lot of progression this weekend...right up until my 360 attempt that had me seeing pixels of green and yellow
. anyways great board, thanks for all input.
