Looking for feedback as to which Slingshot twintip in their 2014-2015 lineup rides most like the original Lunacy? I've had a 2009 Slingshot Lunacy 129 for many years and love that board. I tried the 2012 Lunacy 129 and prefer the older version. The 2009 just felt fast and loaded up well. I didn't care much about the spray in chop and actually loathe too much rocker as it seems to detract from the ability to pop. I don't want too loose of a board. The newer Lunacy did feel very locked down, but lethargic at the same time.

It's time to upgrade though, so which would you recommend that feels like the old Lunacy 129?

I ride with straps, never boots.

Thanks!

Demo as many boards as you can. Then you will know.

Man. The lunacy was a breed of its own. I'd try out the misfit then the vision then the asylum. If your looking to stay with Ss. But if I was you I would demo stuff that looks like the lunacy.
