WT,
Although it is not regional, you should cross-post to Silverfish Longboarding's forum. They have a Slalom section, and an Events/Sessions section. You might find some recruits there.

i've ridden all of the above with the exception of s9 and airfow.

They are all nice. Many of them have differing levels of boards.

The answer, unfortunately, is: whatever board is best for you.

Big Al,
Where are you?

At the DC Outlaw races, your board would be legal. I've seen everything run from an ancient GT Coyote, to a 38" BDS Long Pig.

Some of the other locales may have some rules, but here in DC, if you can roll it through the cones, it is legal.
