yeah, I ride a 131 sometimes, good board, I know that they are good on rails and kickers. I also mainly use a 132 LF drop Ltd. Both boards are very different. The M8 has heaps of pop, but doesnt feel as good through out the trick that I am trying. Landings are good.

For any info regarding this board please Private Message me or email
[email protected] or call
07 54556633.

I have never tried the M8 stomp. But Ive heard from local boys that ride bindings, that it makes any other board feel really bad, the wont go back to their LF elements. So if you're riding blindings, the Stomp is definately the way to go.

I'm riding a M8 131 Haven't been kiting that long though(10 mths) and it's only the second board I've owned, but compared to the old Stonker 134 I was riding, well, there is no comparison.

I wanted and all round board with a preference to carving and small wave riding and I'm more than happy with the M8.

My personal board is a 05 model and looks to have worn better than most boards a year younger, or 2.

the 07 graphics are great and the hardware is absolute top shelf.

Supply doesn't meet demand. so be patient and the rewards will be there.

Riding 06 131. Awsome board, straps and pads= bad handle = functionaly but looks gay. Having problems chnaging to bindings/ lf luxury's due to the threaded inserts placement. If interested more in riding bindings lf element would be the pik.
