i currently have liquid force element 140, best board i ever hand, great in flats, great in chop, great for boosting, not sure what the replacement or equivalent is in the current line up can any one help? will need a new board next season but reluctant to get rid of the element. (ps ride with union bindings)

i rode the concept and it was sick, ive ridden the element and mission and both were awsome boards, element was the best, but the concept is good because its faster, and rides through chop just as well and with the double conc tail it has good grip.

otherwise if you want to wait it out and get something very similar to element WAIT IT OUT for the Influence to come out!!! that board is looking pretty sick! get it in the 138 size. or look at catapult boards, they got nice boot boards too, the record is a sick board in 142.43 or 136.41

Thanks for your help Charl DV, I will stick with the element until the influence comes out, you are right the element through chop is just awesome, only complaint is it is a little heavy, do you know if influence is same construction...?
Thanks heaps for you help.

im not too sure on the construction, has more flex than the mission did and from what i heard is faster, hope they kept that construction instead of going to the std kite construction.

ps dangler was that you that came out at pinaroo point a couple days ago?

Not sure if the construction is the same but you will be looking at 2.70 kgs for the 134 x 41 or 2.80 kgs for the 138 x 42 (blank)

Same as the weight of the Concepts in equivalent sizes.

**Edit** A little addition for what it's worth. Not sure of the Element construction but the Influence is an ABS Sandwich Construction with a molded composite core. Not sure if that really answers anything but that's all I got.
