The lidberg is a pretty aggresive board and if you didnt like the ibex you'll probably have the same opinion on that. In the j star range the republik might be worth checking out for you.
Have riden that a few times and it has a great boot off the wake but is more controled than the lidberg. Thats my 2 cents anyway. _________________ www.bigairnz.com kiteboarding NZ |

wakeup the 512, since you live in Austin, where I understand boardshops to be plentiful, you should definitely go to a shop and demo some different boards to figure out what best fits your riding style.
Usually they'll let you apply the demo fees to buying a new deck too.
Honestly you're almost ALWAYS better going off your own opinion versus other people on here, because in the end you're the one riding it.  _________________ wakeboards

wakeup the 512, if you are looking for aggressiveness, avoid slingshot _________________ Liquid Force
