Favorite Lightweight Board?

Hey there,
Curious what kind of ATB people here have and whats your favorite lightweight board. Im about 170lbs. Got a suggestion for a board for me? I have a Core 95 already, but I do share that with a buddy and my gf, so im looking for a 2nd lighter shorter board. Thanks!

I really dig my MBS Pro 90. I weigh 155 and it's the only board out of my quiver that I ride on land now. It's springy, light (11.4lbs), and maneuverable. I boost on it all the time and it's held up well :thumbup:

Cheers for that! That is the one I am most keen on. Looks to be a fantastic board for me from reviews and specs. My Core 95 seems a shad heavy and long. Not aweful by any means, I just think I would like a shorter and lighter board. Thanks for the input!
