hey i've got a suspect, and in the old catalog, it says its a 3 stage board, and in the new catalog it says its a continuous. Looking at it it looks 3 stage, but i'm not sure. I've thought that maybe they've changed it, but the board still has the same shape and doesn't obrien just usually come up with a new name when they have a new board.
does anyone know what it really is

The Suspect has a continuous rocker with a tiny bit of "kick" in the tips. I agree it does have kind of a 3-stage look to it Cool

but it's more of an optical illusion...

The Suspect has not changed except for graphics and bolt-on fin configuration since we began to produce it. You know what they say - don't believe everything you read! What year is your board and what fins are on it?

I ride our 2003 model finless after the cheap fins they come with literally fell to bits - we were all ticked that we wouldn't be able to ride but we thought we'd give it a go - now none of us would ever go back!

Chris is the dir of eng for them. He did/ or does work for them depending on what happens. He had the auto cad files up of the player and vision on here before they were released. They were a gold picture, and I have to say the gold board idea would be cool.
