I just bought a brand new 92 model for $450 (from a local shop - with a
blade fin !). This is an incredible value for a $1200-$1600 board.
Check out the sailways mail order place 800-544-9463 (they were in the
$450-550 range for brand new boards - only had XR left - same price as
those really beat up energies I saw at the swap on saturday).
North/Mistral warehouses are dumping those extra boards - I guess they
didn't sale as well as expected.

The energy is very fast (replica of Robby wining 91 board) - but have
hard rails, which is harder to jybe. I havn't used my yet, but a good
friend of mine LOVES the way it jybes...Not a board to learn how to jybe
on (so I have been told) but if you know how to...
