No information on the Marius??? Are you crazy? J/K The Marius is the fastest board in the line up with HUGE pop and BUTTER soft landings. No changes for 09 except for the graphics. It will take a little getting used to riding it because of the wide shape. If you buck up and get the Platinum, you will find it to be one pound lighter and a little more snappy off the wake. The Faction is also an awesome stick to shred on and if my memory serves me correctly from last weekend, there are no changes to it for 09 other than the topsheet. It is also pretty fast, with good pop and soft landings. I can only recommend that you demo both of them, if you have the opportunity and make your decision from there. From all of the C-DUB boards we have let people try (Absolute, Transcend, Marius and the Faction), all of them love the Marius most. Hope this helps.
