I just rode the core fusion yesterday with a the carved straps... and it blew my mind.

I'm riding a 146 Slingshot misfit , and I could not believe how much better that board was in every way. I've never really felt "pop" before, and this thing just popped me out of the water. It turned faster, and honestly felt like it held an edge way better.

I wasn't in the market for something new, but now I am :) I wish I understood why that board was so much better than my previous one.
