We've been surfing now for 3 years on the Broadcast and I'm looking to take the next step.

I'm looking for a trick board for someone about 170 looking to do surface 180's and 360's and maybe get a little air. Definitely not aiming for shuvits or ollies.

I'm down to (in this order):
LF Custom 4'2
LF Custom Thruster 4'6
IS 4-skim

Any comments or suggestions. Can anyone talk about the differences in ride/handling between the two LF boards?

I know the shred stixx got a lot of positive comments on this board, but I'm turned off by the uni-directional shape of the board. I've seen plenty of videos of people riding fakee on them, but I'm not convinced I can do it as easily as a two-way board.
