Just curious what riders riding the Liquid Force PS3 think of the board, especially if intended for mainly beginner-intermediate skill level.

Haha, I'm sorry for not specifying. I'm wanting to get a board for beginner to intermediate level experience for anybody that comes to ride with me. That way my stuff doesn't get used and abused ya know?

It's not a bad board at all for beginners. With the really soft rail it has, it helps keep you from catching the edge as easily, and is super stable on landings. pop is controllable, as is speed.

I rode a PS3 off and on for the last 2 years and now use it for exactly what you're wanting to do with one. I think it's a great board for beginners up to...well...Phil Soven. I think it's a very forgiving and predictable ride.

I agree with all above. Bought a PS3 last summer, and it tracks nicely and the pop is easily controlled. Like someone above said, leave the center fins on, and beginners should do just fine.
