i there such a thing? ..
Anyway, personally i shoot an 08 and it's a complete workhorse, never had any problems with it, and shoots absolute tittes. Could do with a new board? hardly .. the stock one does all you'd ever want to be honest, and with the prices they're going for now they're a complete steal.
so that's what i'd do .. and spend the remainder on playing
Saying that though i haven't shot an 09 or a Geo so i can't comment on them ..
