Some of the boards look great, others like the cobra and the proto I am not feeling the design.

I know its all personal preference but I am glad I picked up one the the last 2011 protos as I prefer the graphics.

I may look at the infinity for my wife. Sweet graphics too.

I really like the premier/summit graphic but its kinda lame they used the same one for both boards >.< just seems like a cheap move to me... the sl looks cool too, I don't know I'm just not feelin the designs much this year.

The Infinity it probably the best looking to me this year but as far as specs I would choose the cobra ... cobra tech with infinity-ish type graphics (less cursive/feminine text) and that would be a nice board

The Heritage looks sweet, as does the SL, but I'm glad I picked up the 2012 Legacy... do not like the look of the 2013.

i am curious of the difference of dampening between the recent and the next year proto.

From the descriptions given here and elsewhere it seems that the only difference between the 2011 and the 2012 proto is the graphics (I am not 100% certain but that what it would appear).

Makes sense not to change it when its been one of the best reviewed boards from 2011.

Proto is unchanged. Same exact board, different graphics.

I also don't like the new Proto design. The Cobra looks real nice in person to me. The Evo looks good in person too, but I don't like the green lettering around the center image.

AFAIK 2012/2013 is less damp than 2011/2012. maybe it is only on the scale.

I like this years Proto more than last years. Plus with all the graphics mostly within the bindings you'll never see the graphics anyway unless you're purposely pimping the board on the way to the lifts

Not digging the Evo all that much. Cobra remains to be seen in person. Kind of sleek looking though I would think. I was debating Cobra vs Proto but I just got a westmark so it's probably going to be Cobra.

Heritage/Premier/Raptor are all on point IMO.

Hey, if this is the full line where is the Pandora? Did they get rid of it?
