I have a LF Evo that I bought last year when I was 1st picking up the sport. Now it is time for a new board. I rode my friend's Obrien Player a couple weeks ago and had a blast! It had so much pop compared to my board. I was getting so much more air. So, my question is, what other boards would you recommend that have a lot of pop? I am looking at the LF fish, subjekt, or litmus. Anyone rode these boards? Any other recommendations?

im in the same position as you. i have an old motive 134 and its not doin it for me. i had it narrowed down to the balance and subjekt and im going with the subjekt because i heard that thing has craaazzy pop and i like smaller boards.

Oh yeah, there is also the substance I was looking at. I think it is going to be between the subjekt and substance.

I didn't want to get a player because I can use my friend's player.

I ride a 04 LF TEAM and it has really good pop. My cousin has a 04 PARKS and it pops like a MOFO. Hope this helps

Don't forget about the O'Brien Valhalla. That board has sick pop and lands very soft!

Check it out,

You gotta go with the '05 Absolute. That thing boosts harder and lands softer than any board. There's a bunch of pics of me riding it in my gallery if you wanna take a look. Honestly my roommate rode all the boards you mentioned above & he's now on an Absolute. Everyone who uses it digs it. Do yourself a favor & check it out!

So, it seems the majority are for the Absolut, Parks, Subjekt, or Substance. Therefore, if all of them have awesome pop, then it comes down to a soft landing to handle all that pop!

So, for you ABSOLUTE fans, is the platinum a must, or are you just spending an extra $100 for nothing.

For you PARKS fans, which model of parks board do you recommend?

On any of these boards, do you need to spend the extra $$$ for the 2005, or are the 2004's just as good??

Thanks for all the help!

I would recommend getting a Valhalla demo. It has the tracking, speed and pop of no other board I have ever ridden. I’m no pro, but most boards have a weakness in some area IMO. The Valhalla is a fast, really fast, 3-stage board with unbelievable tracking abilities. A double concave hull provide the soft landings you are looking for. The 3 stage HL and LF’s I’ve tried and demoed seemed slower and pushed water.

My words do not do it justice, go demo one with Xenon bindings. If you like it Overton’s has this package for $499.99 w/ free shipping. If they are still out (currently back ordered), Wakeside.com will match the price.
