I just bought one recently but the season doesn't start here for 3.5 months. In feb I'm going to the Kite Rodeo in TX I plan to throw bindings on it and try it there.
Make sure your looking at a 2003. The 2003 is white with blue and black graphics. The 2004 looks like a gay pride flag. Not that there is anything wrong with that....
The lithium is the only radical looking board they have this year in my opinion....I know,,.......I know opinions are like a--holes.

I'm buying one so I can start on the sport. It only costs me $290 and I get free shipping and insurance, plus the board comes with free scandals and complete fiberglass fins. And yes, it is the 2003 version. They only have two left
That's why I wanted to hear your comments on this board.

The old style of scandals didn't work to well without some modification. The fit is simply to tight. What you need to do is buy a pair of adam koch adjustable footstraps and mount them to the base. Either that or shim the strap up with 1/2" box aluminum tubing. (hint) the new footstraps works better.

Had one for about 2 months - pretty heavy so you'll need some grunt
