I find the dervish to be a real saggy flex personally, it is just not poppy enough for me.

I have the bryantcooper eel and it is really nice and only half the price of the dervish.

drop crave is a great board. So is the 9 to 5. The will both last longer than loaded boards and are cheaper

my buddy has a bamboo drop carve, its pretty sick. It has more concave and it's significantly wider than the dervish, but it is a bit stiffer and less responsive. it is awesome for doing nice, controlled, buttery GS turns and it is quite stable. but if you're more into whippy carving with a shit load of rebound then I'd go with the dervish

Buy a 42in Kracked Skulls Scimitar if you want a price point dervish. Rides very similar, flex feels the same, craving feels the same. And the Scimitar is still a great board. Go to Silverfish and look at their scimitar vs. dervish threads and you'll find they all will say the same things.

yeah, scimitars are sick too and yes they ride similar to a dervish. be careful though, they are not very strong boards, my friend cracked two of his doing not-so-gnarly things and he only weighs about 150 lbs
