Cool, thanks guys.

I'm actually talking to Scott at Subsonic, and he says he has a prototype in the works right now that has the wedging built into the front of the board. I'll definitely check out LBL if it doesn't work out with Scott - although I have faith in him.

I've been avoiding the Evo-Bennett pumper, because the wheel base is too long. I don't want anything longer than 31" and it's also too stiff - haven't been on one, but i imagine 11 ply and being designed for DH, it isn't going to flex for my wimpy 145 lbs. That, and with how much the deck costs, I could easily get a full custom deck from Subsonic at practically the same price. Waiting isn't a problem for me. I live in SoCal and can board year round, although winter is all about snowboarding - that only happens 2x a week though excluding major trips.
