anyone ride the vantage closed toes/ also suggestions on fast 3 stage board

[natedog]

so right now i ride a hyperlite b side 136 and love the pop and speed its a continuous rocker but i think could break up the water better when landing, get squirlier than i like and wondering if anyone rides a continuous or 3 stage with soft landings, speed, and solid pop.

also has anyone put some time on the liquid force vantage closed toe bindings and have the velcro hold up and stay tight?
