Levitator all the way. I ran into a similar predicament last year: nose rider or performance. I was a little skeptical about the Levitator's wide tail on our EC chop, so I went with the Elevator, which offers a little more performance than just noseriding. If I could go back.... The Elevator totally flies - I can only imagine how the Levitator rides. A few dudes on my street have Levitators and they absolutely swear by them. On the same note, I know some tough dudes that love their pink. You've selected two great boards and you really can't go wrong either way.
If you want to keep it in the Forum Family... http://www.swellinfo.com/forum/showthread.php?18707-Bing-Levitator-For-Sale-9-8-quot INSANELY beautiful board....
I love my pink. It is so much easier to walk on than any other board I've owned. I usually go with 1 fin in small waves. It also does quite well up to shoulder high especially when it is clean but feels a little slow. I have a 9' T Patterson for faster waves. Don't know about the Levitator.
i was looking at getting a custom brain wynn but i have heard so much good stuff about the other 2 boards . if i go for the levitator one of the guys that works at the shop i go to can get it custom dims for not a bad price if i went for the pink i would get one off the rack at the shop. i will deff do some more research for some east coast shapers now that u mentioned it .
