Nislin, He's not a troll, he's a valuable and long-time commenter and I agree. You're not going to get good answers if you type like a chimp.

With that out of the way, I haven't ridden it but I've taken a good look at it in person and ride a somewhat similar board (Watson Hybrid). Short story, it's probably going to be one of the most fun boards you've ever owned and absoulutely sick for cable/rail riding. The Shane might even be a tad better behind the boat due to the 3-stage rocker (vs. the Watson which is a hybrid). I really don't think you'll be disappointed at all.

Not to mention, it looks AWESOME.

I rode this board for a whole day at Wake Nation Cincinnati a couple days ago, and it is definitely a cool and fun board.

It is actually a somewhat stiff board (in comparison to FLX/henshaw hybrid) similar to the watson hybrid. You can definitely press it out, and it is a good all around board for cable riding from what I could tell. I was riding it finless, and it actually had a good bit of grip (again in comparison to the completely flat bottom FLX/small channels on henshaw board) so I had no problems with landing air tricks and anything off of kickers. That is one of the main problems I have with the other flex boards is the fact that they are SO slippery that it can be sometimes hard to land stuff, this definitely isn't like that.

I would imagine that this thing could ride well behind boat too, though I haven't tried it behind boat. The landings are very soft because I guess it has a similar spine as some of the non-flex boards like the witness. Overall it is a pretty sick board, and I think it could be used in just about every aspect of the sport boat, cable, and rails.

If you have any more specific questions just let me know! Also, don't forget to use the screws for the bindings that come WITH THE BOARD. Otherwise, you will kill the inserts with regular LF binding screws.

Colefooter, thank you, that's a detailed description I wanted to get! Yeah, I've heared, read and watched the LF video regarding the m6 screws, so I shouldn't have problems with that. I can't wait for the board to come to retailers *itching* =))
