    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.

    Wish I had the cash on me for the board above. Still have the Joel Tudor for sale.

    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.

    Levitator all the way. Both good boards but I think the Levitator is superior.

    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 .
