Hey dude sounds like you want a liquid force. There's some awesome deals on packages at www.bsboardshop.com. You should check out the trip/alpha package for $399, that is an awesome deal cuz you are getting over $100 off, and that board is super smooth and pops like a mutha. The link is http://www.bsboardshop.com/phpshop/index.php3?page=shop/browse&category_id=9b9c9f85e0441d2478fcdcbb83910ce5
People will tell you otherwise on here, but I can promise you that you'd love this setup, and you cant beat the price.

awells, there's always the standard response of Demo. If you can't and you're not willing to look at another board company (BlindSide, D-Up, Gator Boards, etc.) here's a list of boards with pop:

Hyperlite
Parks
Byerly
Premier
(Hint: look for rockers that are Abrupt 3-Stage)

Liquid Force
Subjekt
Substance

Course those are all for different styles.

Good Luck Very Happy

don't limit yourself to just HL or LF. there are a ton of great boards out there. what do you like about you current board? what don't you like? what is your current board? knowing exactly what you want will narrow things down very fast. making a decision based on the amount of pop a board has is risky. the board you chose might suck at everything else.

the prodigy and absolute boards from cwb have a ton of pop and smooth landings, i would say that the parks board is for really experienced rider and its hard to get good pop but when you do everything perfect you fly, but i def. wouldnt limit youirself in boards and i would buy a board without demoing it

ummm....so what you're saying is that subtle 3-stage boards and continuous rockers don't give good pop?

kwik lesson:

Continuous Rocker= more out than up pop and softer landings
Abrupt 3-stage= straight up bucking kinda pop
Subtle 3-stage= kind of a mid point between the first two.

kswiss, when someone on here says they want a lot of pop that generally means they want to go 50 ft into the air.
