Hi guys,has anyone got any info on the new LF influence board?
Im a 85kg rider looking for a board to use bindings with that will ride well in chop as well as flat water.
Im looking at the 138 influence or maybe 136 recoil,any help would be great.
if you've ridden bindings before dont bother with the recoil.
id also take a look at the catapult recordplayer or joker boards, give the shop a ring. these boards are epic with bindings. or the cab custom is another good board, i just find wood core flex boards pop way better and feel alot better than foam core flex boards and if im not mistaken the influence is going to be a flex board this year unlike the mission last year.
no info on the influence board yet. I believe it hasn't come out yet.
I have ridden the 136 recoil board alot with bindings. It is a very good board, planes fast and has good flex characteristics. I found the board handled well through the chop as where i ride is generally chop. Another board to consider is the LF concept. i have just got the new LF 139 concept Limited with synergy bindings. It is a very awesome board pops big but with more rocker then the recoil, landings are more plush, but a slight bit of upwind ability is lost compared to the recoil although it still powers upwind. If you are considering the recoil give me a PM as I have a brand new '09 136 recoil in the wrapper if you want to save some money from buying from a shop.
Goodluck making your decision.
