what board to ride?

currently riding a 137 ps3, I want something faster and more aggressive yet still loose and playful ......... brand doesn't really matter to me... I won't get a chance to really demo before i buy please share your opinions

I have not ridden a ton of boards(including the PS series) but here are my thoughts to start

LF- Lyman (don't be fooled to think the board is super grippy with all those fins, it is a very loose ride)

Slingshot- Response (you want "loose" and "playful" i cant think of anything better than this IMO)

*Company- Recruit (^^ similar to the ss response)

*Humanoid - Oracle (again ^^ similar as the above, but not yet available on the market if you still have some time you want to kill before buying, should be available by the start of summer or earlier...)

*boards i have not rode

I personally wouldn't buy a flexboard without riding one first... they're definitely a different feel than your regular stiffie.

I moved from a Transcend to a Ronix One. The ronix is awesome. Cuts hard when on edge but is loose when you want it to be. Huge pop also helps....

You might like the S4. The Witness is a great predictable, looser board. I think the Witness is faster the PS3. Maybe its just me.

Although I ride a Transcend now, I went from the Trip, to a Watson, and now im on a Transcend.....I loved the Watson a lot and everyone i talk to loves it too. Its a super smooth board with soft landings. When I say smooth, i mean its pretty fast, very nice pop, and great landings. Its going to be hard to let go of the Watson but I have a feeling ill love the transcend once im used to it. But if you dont care about what brand you ride, i'd suggest a Watson or C-dub Marius. I've heard by many people that bothe boards are very similar. Good luck bro!
