    i had a really nice 9'4" Silver Spoon from Beach House;worked great.Eric had Matt make a Hap Jacobs East Coast Model and East Coast Noserider I'm interested in.My favorite Bings from Matt are a 8'0"Good Karma with a Greenough 4a i rode to its death literally,best board i ever owned,and a 9'0" Lightweight Stepdeck.I'm very intrigued with the Pintail Lightweight,he's making these in 8'0" and 8'6" now too,and that design is beautiful in the shorter lengths

    If you like something with a stepdeck you gotta try a elevator . Its probally one of the best noseriders I have ever ridden . It turns on a dime and the noserides are out of this worlds . Once your perched on the nose and locked in the board takes over. Its only down fall is its a knee the chest high board and it needs kinda a steep wave. Where as the NR2 or the origonal noserider catches any this from knee to OH

    Yeah Matt the Elevator is sick... I don't ride mine as much as I should (I enjoy my mini simmons and dumpster diver on smaller days), but it is an unbelievable board. I am really trying hard not to order the Dharma, it looks unreal. Maybe on the next trip to California I'll have to pick one up:confused::confused:

    I may seriously make my way up there to check this out

    Yeah I had a Elevator in a 9'8 I ended up selling it this spring to put money towards my new bing . If I get another one I might get it a bit smaller like 9'4 or 9'6

    Bing and Hap Jacobs are relatively expensive and worth the extra money
