you can get an 09 liquid force watson on ebay for 200, it is an amazing board!

monarch and one are the more user-friendly of the boards you listed, the conspiracy and ibex are both pretty aggressive. The one and monarch are two of my favorite shapes ever. The conspiracy and ibex are both fast, poppy, and pretty locked in. The monarch and one are a little slower, more forgiving, and smoother.

kface, listen to LakeIolaLuke and you won't go wrong. The dude knows about (and has ridden) just about every board you'll ever name. Laughing

But yeah, Liquid Force baby, FTW. Mr. Green

Of those boards ronix one gets my vote.

LakeIolaluke, so between the monarch and the one which one has more pop and is more forgiving? or are they pretty similar?

They're both right up there in the pop department, both hit you really hard off the wake. I'd say the one is a bit more forgiving of the two, but only if you swap the fins out for something a little smaller, like hyperlite .8 Pwings. It has a softer edge, so it doesn't hang up very easily, but the fins that come on it are a bit large for my taste.

so i got to ride a ronix one last weekend and i liked it but it still doesnt give me that straight up and down pop. sooo between the conspiracy and ibex what are the pros and cons? and what about cwb?
