Well I'm not overly patient, so I got contacted two SFers who had admitted they owned a Highlander III's and then ordered one from DBS. The board is flexible enough for my 205 lbs. It's light and super thin, like 3/8" or less. Geolemon, I like the idea and I might have to try something like that eventually. Right now I need to properly fix my bennett on which the spherical bearing came loose when the bottom bushing blew out and I didn't notice right away. I would be able to get slighty better leverage if it didn't have cutouts but I don't think the difference is that big of a deal. The concave also seems fine but I don't think anything I've done actually qualifies as LDP yet
