Been riding a 2005 Hyperlite Byerly, need a new board...

I've been riding my buddies 2005 Bylerly and it's time to buy my own board and bindings. I like how it rides. His bindings were garbage though. I've ridden transits and like those. So, I'm 100% set on transit bindings. I need size 9-10. Saw some on $159.99. Anyone with used ones, I'm all ears.

My main issue is finding a board similar to the Byerly that isn't super expensive. Bottom line, I'm not spending $700 on a board. Any tips / suggestions on a board that is similar to this and can be found in a closeout/demo model? Is the LF PS3 similar?

I've been scouring the net and found some decent stuff. But looking for some inside info.

Been lurking this site for a week or two. I must say it rocks.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops. The byerly is a 137 too. I'm thinkin a 139/141...

I'm 6'0, about 180 lbs.

I'm still riding an 04 hyperlite byerly 137 with the 08 Byerly Closed toe boots

but that twin tip axe head shape has always been my favorite. I know boards have gotten a lot lighter in the past few years but the strength of this ride is epic. Nice 3 stage rocker with molded fins. I ride finless of course. anyone care to give feedback? Will a lighter board really improve my riding substantially? I Just dialed in tantrums, and 2 seasons ago i landed a sketchy HS Backroll to blind. one attempt came up to short and toeside edge dug firmly into the lip and I was knocked right out. Now i'm sketching about throwing that invert again.

Is my ride outdated!??!

Damn, almost got knocked out? Sounds like I better invest in a helmet, pronto!!!

I'm having trouble finding a good score on the Transit bindings. I guess for $159.99 on ebay that ain't too bad.

Do you like those Byerly closed toe boots? I should get some CT just cause that seems like the "cool" thing to do! Very Happy

Would a liquid force ps3 in 139/141 be a good choice? I'm seeing the 08's for $199.99.
