I ride one. I've ridden one since the start. I haven't come close to outgrowing it. It'll be a good beginner to intermediate board for you.

i've ridden one for the past 3 months. it was my first one, and i love it. at slow speeds, it seems to come lose really easy and i did a surface 180 on accident.

my only complaint: mine is a 2004 and the o'brien device bindings are the stuff that crap is made of. i am a green beginner and even i hate them. every fall makes the godforsaken "floating tongue" go haywire.

if you haven't already bought it, consider buying a blank custom 135 and getting better bindings..
