hey, just bought a new board. a 2008 Response 137 Slingshot. I've gone out about a dozen times, but each time on a differnt board, so i wasn't exactly sure wat i was looking for. I'm about 5'5", 150lbs and like an aggressive board. any opinions of if this'll work for me? lemme know, peace.

The size seems right but I am not sure if that has an aggressive rocker, a google search should fix that. landings will be real soft with that too. What bindings do you have???

I've ridden that board on the cable before and its pretty nice. It's got really quick heel to toe response and a lot of pop on ollies. Its also awesome on rails. I'm not sure how it is behind a boat, but I give it a big thumbs up for riding cable.

agressive what? pop? carving/tight?

Sorry. I made a mistake. Its the Recoil that I've ridden. Because of the narrower tip and tail the response won't have as much pop, but there shouldn't be a lot of difference. And it should still have fairly quick heel to toe response. It should still be just as flexible on rails.

So what rocker is considered an aggressive rocker?

Correct me if I am wrong the more aggressive the rocker, the easier the board is going pop.
