shane vs. watson

I decided that keeping my watson 134 wouldn't be a good idea being I weigh 160 and plan on adding 10-15lbs of muscle in the next yr, so I was looking at the watson 138 and shane 136. Has anyone ridden both of the boards and know how they compare? I have ridden the watson 134 but now the shane. Also does anyone ride either of these boards (watson 138/shane 136) at 170 lbs? I know height doesn't matter much but I am 5 7 if that makes a diff.

ive riden them both and own a shane 140 ... its going to be a lot looser feel in the neutral position than the watson by a good bit

Would you agree that the watson 138 is ideal for me weighing in around 170 at 5 7? Or atleast over the 134.

damn this the the same kinda deal im in. i have my watson and love it but the watson 138 is sold out everywhere. the shane had really soft landings(i rode a 140 so thats y) and it spins on the water really smooth. without a center fin the board just slides over everything. id buy one in an instant along with a few of my firneds but no one really likes the picture frame.

nah not steroids but I'm using no xplode I have cycled it once before and its ridiculous the gains you can make off of it with the right diet. I'm not that great of a rider I went to a camp for about 3 weeks behind an x star and get around 4ft of height wake to wake, but haven't tried any spins wake to wake yet. I remember what I liked about the watson was that it hooked up pretty well in the turns, so I think might be what I want to stay with. Its just a matter of keeping my 134 and probably being too heavy for it, or buying a 138. When I rode the 134 this summer I still weighed 160 and the board felt great, but I want something that will work in a few seasons also. Anyone out there who weighs what I do please let me know how either of the boards worked for you, thanks.

I have a watson 138 (Im 175 lbs) and I love it.

All natural is the most healthy way to gain muscle. Creatine could be worst for you than you would think:

...I'm not telling you not to take it, just hoping that you research first.

Yah man thanks for your concern, but I have researched creatine for months and have been working out for a few years now. I am aware of the consequences if its abused.

5'9, 175, shane 140 for the time being, i like longer boards, the shanes still easy to spin at that length, landings are mad soft too, u should go with 138 but my friend ryan has 134 and he weighs like 185-190 and rips it real hard
