| So I am going to pick up a 2014 t-rex or the 2015 angry swallow and was wondering if it was worth the extra $ to get the angry swallow. They say they changed the nose a bit and also the new fin setup but for the most part the boards seems identical. So Is it worth the extra $ to get the 2015 Angry Swallow, you guys ridden these to compare? Thanks for any feedback guys. |

I THINK IT'S WORTH THE EXTRA $ TO HAVE A BOARD CALLED THE ANGRY SWALLOW!

| Everyone knows this years board is better than last years. Don't you read the marketing collateral? |

| It's really whether you want the FCS II fin options. Which allows you to mess around with a variety of fin set-ups. Otherwise, I think it's the same. I think the Screamer is meant to be better in the surf than the swallow though, If I was going 2015 I'd go screamer. |

| Some creative feedback guys, thanks Mped that's what I was leaning toward. I used to own a John Amundson board that was similar in shape and want to check out Slingshot. |

First off, I have not tried the Angry Swallow, but I am pretty sure it is more or less the same as the T-Rex.
I have a T-Rex and now a Screamer. I loved the T-Rex. It was a real advance for jumping and all kinds of strapless tricks. The many different fin setups have big effects on how it rides and is really fun to experiment with. On the down side, it rides big and is a handful in the chop. (BTW Going thruster with all small fins helps this) Also, it is really wide, and not great edge to edge or at high speed. But it sounds like you already tried it and are set on the board.
I also have a Screamer and it is amazing. It is not quite as good in the air and with tricks as the T-Rex, but not too far behind. The thing is, it rips turns and is very fast. (Or maybe more importantly and accurately, it stays in control at high speeds) The FCSII is kind of nice, but the fins are pretty hard to get in and out, so I would not spend too much $ for that feature alone.
Bottom line, get the T-Rex for cheap over the Swallow. But if you are not sure, the Screamer is sweet. |

It can be good for your relationship.
Men have the basic need to be "accepted" by you. His semen is him, at least it's from him. He feels hurt if you "reject" it. It's like you are spitting out him.
It brings you closer to him. He feels more protective of you and respects your doing it for him. Also he knows he is with you because he is in you. It's good for him that you do it.    THE SWALLOW TROLL
