Slim - I am actually now considering an 8-10 eps Habanero...thanks for making me feel like I've made a good choice! I do have one thing I am trying to figure out before I order, and that is whether or not to have channels on the nose. Seems like they won't do as much for a "turn and burn" longboard as they would for one where I would spend more time up front. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this (and Rich - I'd appreciate hearing from you too if you are reading these).
Thanks again...and hopefully I will be able to put in my order in the next day or two!
