@Javi - Thanks for the post. I found it insightful and loved your comparisons.
I have both the Solo 142 and the Native 144 and ride both behind a boat. Both are fun for different reasons. I owned Solo first and it feels more stable to me. The flat profile and the 8" of flat under the feet makes it feel stable. It's actually a really fun board and throws 3s and 5s so easily. The Native feels like a bigger board because it's 3/4" wider underfoot. The Native is fun because of it's rocker. The rocker makes for easy tail butters and super high ollies. I can see why people love this ride. I can't wait to ride the Native in the park and see how it presses on flat boxes and see how it lands off kickers
