nelson - big pop, soft landings, loose, fast, great edge.
premier - nice pop, soft landings, loose (if center fin is removed), slow, good edge.

gbotech, K-Dub or Jumalian can probably tell this more accurately than anyone else here....

Nelson is K-Dub's boss as well. Wink

chavez, you got it almost right....Nelly is my boss though. Laughing

Things are a bit wierd on the D-Up scene right now, but they are going to be fine to say the least. I can't wait to ride the Lidberg board.

i just got the 04 nelson 141 and love it!

it edges incredibly (like you had a 2.5" fin on it) but takes zero effort to pop loose.

landings are much softer than the premier

K-dub, can I hang out with you? You must be cool if you rode with the Nellinator! Laughing

chavez, No....you are too Colorful

for me.

chavez · RIP MHL 04/25/1958 - 01/11/2006

K-dub, you may be right - but I can't be too Colorful

for you, I mean come on you hang out with scotta sometimes and he is the queen Colorful

chavez, I only hang with scotta because I have too. Now that he's gone back to school, I don't have to see his Colorful

ass anymore.

chavez · RIP MHL 04/25/1958 - 01/11/2006

K-dub, yep, he's back with his "people" in Bezerkely!

So, you get stuck manning the tent at BS this weekend? Laughing

Nope...no BS for this soldier.
I don't even think i'd go if I were to get a bonus check. Laughing

k dub so what board do you think is better.

K-dub · Ladies Man Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 14760

Nelson is my choice.
I have been riding that shape for the past 2 years...until I got my Randy Harris this season.
I did'nt care for the Premier too much everytime I have ridden it.

I'm actually riding a Premier 141 in my profile pic.

I love the Nelson and thought the premier was pretty ho-hum, its a good solid board but it didn't really get me excited about riding it. The Nelson on the other hand is AWESOME.
