@Gladtad that's 'cause it's nah carving, tad. it's long distance pumping (LDP) and it is in point of fact very hard to make an interesting video because really you just pump like that for miles and miles, but at least people searching for the LBL walkabout have something to see to help inform their purchase. i wasn't entirely happy with the vid, either, but it's a fun deck with exactly one purpose: LDP. and that's what i'm doing.
Just got my walkabout last week. Really, just an awesome board. I think that Larry really nailed the flex on this one. Flexy yet so snappy and stable! Running standard config of bennett 5.0 and RTS 129. Just starting to play with angles and bushing combinations. I guess that you just will always forever tweak an LDP setup from what I hear. Gotta love that you can dial the board to 3 different flex settings, but right at 200 lbs., the medium flex at 28.5 feels spot on.
Flex is great! I actually prefer it to the all carbon LDP boards I've run as the birch makes the ride nice and soft, but Larry put a layer of carbon in so it's still stiff enough for LDP. Concave is pronounced at the nose with a slight lip, but evens out at the tail w/ no kick on that end.
I prefer it to the roe mermaid and the subsonic pulse, but i haven't ridden galac's yet
Bennett 5.0 in the front w/ white khiros (barrel/barrel-top combo) and a tracker139 in the back w/ orange khiros.

this looks like a sick board. a few questions:
a. is it sturdy?
b. would it run well with larger trucks? i've got a pair of 184mm trucks that will need a home soon

a. very much so, has a ply of carbon for stiffness, too, which also adds to its sturdiness.
b. i'm not exactly sure, haven't run it with anything but the bennett/tracker setup and wedged/dewedged like crazy.
