Just picked up the LF Witness 140 and took my first set on it. LOVE the board! Pops really good, releases well, and lands super soft...just thought I would spread the word. Definitely ride the board if you get a chance!

I tried it this weekend, and I personally didn't like it. I've been riding an axis for a while and wanted to try the witness before I made my final descision, and it was really, really slippery. I rode it without the center fin, and it was almost like the board swivelled (sp?) about 20 degrees each direction before the fins took any action. I also thought that it didn't pop that well, but the landings were pretty soft.

Stewie, what did you like about the axis more? ive got one but only ridden it once but its seems pretty stable. how did it compare? im trying to pick up a witness to demo but havent gotten around to it.

I rode the Watson last year, and I thought that the axis is very similar, just a little faster and more stable. The differences in riding the two are very subtle imo, but i just feel better on the axis than on the watson. I thought the witness was too unstable for my liking, and wasn't as poppy as i like.
