I want to buy a new board with bindings. I chose the Ronix Kai OT bindings since I've read good things about them but now I'm not sure if I should go for either a LF Harley 2011 or a LF trip 2012. I'm a beginner rider I just started to land my backrolls so I want a board that will make me progress the best. The LF Witness as well has caught my attention but well please help me with any comments regarding this boards and the boots as well

Thanks

All are great boards, but I'd say go with the Harley or the Witness. They're boards that you can grow into. You can learn how to get the most pop out of the hybrid or 3-stage rocker lines that most pro model boards have. These two will boost you up huge and still be very forgiving to you. They're easy to ride and killer fun.

The trip is a superb beginner board and works well even for pro riders who like a continuous rocker, but the Witness and the Harley are a step up in my opinion, and a step that you're probably ready to take.

100% Agreed with TheHebrewHammer. I personally prefer the Witness over the Harley, but that's, well, personal... They ride pretty different, so try to ride them before you decide.

Thanks a lot for the information, but the problem is that the Harley is out of stock on my shop now...So I was seeing other boards like The S4, Watson CLassic, and LF Shane, which are all 2011. Regarding this boards which are cheaper than the 2012 witness, becuase they don't have any more the 2011, which would be the best choice? And does the Ronix Kai OT boot fit all of this boards with no problem?

i reaaaally like the witness, better then the harley (cuz it's less stiff/softer and feels faster). what kind of ride do you like?

wait, i just realized i tried a 142 harley, and i ride a 136 witness.. thats why it might feel slower to turn for me! it was really stiff for landings though, the so claimed "pillowsoft landings" are a myth imho..
