3 stage

is a three stage THAT much of a difference in pop as opposed to a continuous? I'm about to get a 3 stage board (yes on my profile it already says I have it) but I need to know is it worth the monies-- I have about 900 saved up to buy a new board, bindings, and a board bag.

Ive been looking at the Liquid Force PS3 133 with Hyperlite Murray Bindings. all '06. thanks. I'm 5'11" and 160 pounds.

** I am also looking at a Watson 134 w/ liquid force transit bindings, all '06. I've looked into hyperlite too, mostly at Murray '06 line.

??? any suggestions? I want something that will be good for me for at least a year or two. Probably a pro model.

133 seems a little short for you unless you really like riding short boards. I would say something from 135-141, 2cm may not seem like much a difference but it definately is.

yea, if i were you i would look at the PS3 137, and the Watson 138. Unless you like shorter boards like NorthwestRider said.

you can't get a PS3 or watson, look at your username. once you commit to a brand in your username, you can never go back.

CWB transcend is pretty sick in my opinion

First of all a 133 is way short for you, as has been said. For sure go with the 137 or 141. I'm only about 145 and ride the 41. Unless you're spinning a ton the extra length is all gold...more pop, more speed, more stability.

As far as pop goes a three-stage DOES NOT have more pop, it has different pop. Watch Murray, Sharp, Shapiro or Benny G. ride and it's obvious that a continuous board can have plenty of pop. What a three-stage rocker does is give a more vertical pop. Assuming everything else is constant a continuous rocker board will be smoother, turn quicker and give you more distance. A three-stage board will be more abrupt, less consistant, harder landing, and will get more height. How fast the board is depends on your riding style. I ride pretty nose heavy so a continuous board is quicker for me. If you ride tail heavy a three-stage will be quicker.
