not to sound dumb or anything but...the liquid force impulse and control are the same board except for the foam/grip right?

yep.

impulse = grip.
control = foam.

The Control and Impulse are actually different this year.

Controls are all still made in Taiwan, that is why they are almost $100 cheaper.

twgapk, dont be a hater. i personally own an 07 reed (impulse), and it is an awesome board. we also have controls and impulses for rental boards this year at our cable, so we will see how they last.

the new kid, i had an armada and the second i changed to a new board i landed tons of new stuff, youll see how much of a difference the armada and the control are soon, enjoy! (for sure grip it -scrapes are a small price pay for the extra grip)

GOLD!en, im not really tring to hate but ive been waiting for a replacement for my o6 impulse for almost 6 months. then yesterday i saw somebody riding an 07 and it was about to fall apart. come on whats positive about my situation. nothing so i wouldnt call it hating id call it a unhappy customer who getting screwed over.

That's a bummer deal about your 06. What 07 did you see? I rode a Walton for about two days(made in Taiwan), and it was unacceptable when it came to durability. But I currently have the new Reed and couldn't be happier. No offense intended in your direction from my posts. Just trying to clarify some things.
