I ride the 00/01 Byerly, and when I demo'd the 04, it actually felt a bit slower. The notches did several nice things, but for me, it seemed to create just a touch of drag. Then again, I was riding with the center fin in place on the 04, so that could also have been the cause of the drag. I never was too keen on the 02/03 Byerly shape, that's why I've kept my older ones. I'd be very interested in trying the 04 again with the center fin removed. Anybody esle have an opinion about this?
