Your local shop should have a few demo boards to try. There are many good quality boards out there these days. Personally I like something with reasonable flex for pop and shock absorption. Concaves help tracking enourmously in landings and rail to rail transfers are less skaty. A wide tail makes for early planing, good in light winds. Look for quality inserts as well and footpad comfort. Too much rocker can be slow so try before you buy. Get something that is brightly coloured. Dark greens and blues are difficult to see when you lose a board after a stack or the tide takes it.

For a really nice all round board have a look at the 08 or 09 liquid force recoil boards with either the luxury straps or the comp lace straps.

They are gold

How does the liqid force compare with the lunacy or underground?

i rode the 134 recoil comp at 75kg and loved it, best feeling underfoot, i did have bindings on mine but same applies, super smooth and fast, soft on landings and good pop, not much of a fan on the lunacies. UG makes sweet boards too but havnt tried the newer models so cant say.

Had 3 Nobiles now and about 3 other boards.

Absolutely love the Nobile's though.

I'd say 132 or 135 (do they do that size?) for your weight .

666 if you're intermediate or above for max pop.
