Would the 2008 version perform just as well as the 09? I found a good price on one, and I want a powder board bad.

The 2008 uses the 3D binding mount pattern where the 09 has the new EST binding interface technology. Many would argue, including myself that the EST binding mount system provides superior response and board feel compared to standard 3D bindings. You are closer to the board and save weight over the 3D system. Short answer; the 09 will be a better performing board IF you incorporate the EST binding into the package as well!

Definitely! I ride an 08 162cm, and it's great! Awesome for pow, good on carving, and flexible enough for good pop! Pick it up if you found a good price, but make sure it's the right size. No use getting the wrong size, no matter how great the price.
