i've pretty much always ridden nevs...dont buy others...i hand them out to demo continually and that is how i test all the other boards...

oh, you just removed the "blah" that my post referenced.....
Sorry about that. Just for posterity for others reading I was saying how I didn't get off on the sensitivity or reactivity of a true, narrow, rockered hi-per shortboard. I preferred them a little wider. I was also observing that Webber was making his Afterburners wider as the standard shorty started getting a little wider more recently. I was also saying I hated true fish, and had a DVS epoxy fish which looked great but I hated surfing. I like a little more "neutrality" for want of a better word in my boards, which I think width and a slightly flatter rocker gives you, at least to a point. So I personally don't find say the Dom overly fishy (compared to a true fish) but just find it very neutral, and less reactive to minor pilot input. The Alt is a little more reactive, but still more neutral than a true Hi-Fi board.

Sorry, nothing worse than responding to a post and then finding the original has disappeared!
