    My thoughts are that you should support a local shaper instead of Burton.

    agreed, if you want this type of board goto a local shaper and tell them what you want

    I'd love to try a Whip, if it's anything like a Flyer I'd say it would be hard to beat. Always wanted to try a Flyer with a swallow tail. I'd go for it if I hadn't just bought a new board.

    da rookie

    i think the whip would be good for NJ, the tanget would be ok too, i think its best for a rear footed surfer. For mid atlantic i would be leaning more tord the rookie or the proton tho.

    remember that you should read the info on ci's website as to what size and thickness.

    I'm thinking a 6'1 19 1/4 width and 2 3/8 thickness for the Whip
    Tangent: 6'3 19 width and 2 7/16 thickness
