Fast and easy to recover from back of wave, good pop and stable. The secret weapon will be my next board, super light and "slashy" feeling, you can just throw it around that much easier but requires more pumping of course (more of an intermediate/advanced board IMO). Love them both, the feel is very different on the 2 boards and depends on my mood on what i would want to ride, just decided to buy the JS Pro first since it was a lot like my Doomswell Neo (JS is just lighter/thinner) which is what I really started to progress on last year after coming off a skim board that was not built for my size/weight so hard to keep the wave at the beginner level I had then....now I can ride the skim just as easy but I had to get better first and learn how to pump/carve well. The right board makes such a big difference on progression!
    I would agree with Infinity. I purchased a Jordi Pro as well and RDT-G23 has one on order. Here is a picture of my Jordi Pro

        I ordered a 4'7" Jordie Pro; I'm itching to get it and try it...

          I might sell my JS pro because I now have too many boards
          Since you have both of these boards....what would you say the main differences are between the 2?
          I have a Jordie Pro and am looking at a Voodoo right now. Least by the pics, the look a little similar as far as design goes, is the Jordie a little wider at the middle than the Voodoo? I noticed you had a 4'8" in the Jordie and went to 4' 6" in the Voodoo....I have heard some recommend to ride the Jordie an inch or 2 smaller than normal size (guess cause its a little wider). I think my 4' 8" Jordie could have easily been 4' 6", actually think I would like it a little bit more since I have no issues washing out of wave and like air's. Seems like maybe the Voodoo is built a little more for that style of riding. Curious of your opinion on this (and anyone else who cares to jump in with any comments). I have never ridden a SC that I did not like...some are just better than others due to riding style. I planned to have 1 board a little more stable like the Jordie I have....and then a smaller one for slashing around and airs (liked the Secret Weapon a lot).....but ran into an opportunity to possibly trade mine for a Voodoo, or just buy the Voodoo so thinking about my options here. I will get to test it out in a week or so since he is local.

            Well, I only have 3-4 rides on my voodoo since I got it at the end of last season.
            I wanted a board to do some great airs.
            My JS has fang tail (older design) so it has less push than my voodoo, I needed to add some carbon fins to gain a little speed with it.

            My Voodoo is more like a fun board that can do it all. When comparing both, my JS is more like a great carving, super agressive board.
            Noth much width diff between both but the voodoo has more wide tail.

              I went out with him the other day, he forgot to bring the Voodoo but had a 4' 8" Secret Weapon that he was using wax on. Cause the board was sticking to my feet, I was doubling the height of my airs, had so much fun with that board. Gotta pump it more than my JS, but that is ok....I move around a lot anyway and dont just stand there.
              So the Secret Weapon will likely be my next ride. I am gonna try his Voodoo tho next chance I get, sounds like it wont be much different than my JS, I did not get the fang tail on my JS.
              Thanks for response, great looking board!
