alright, my wake/skate shop just closed about a month ago, and at scheels they have a Hyperlite Scape 117 w/ foam for 100$, i really wanna wakeskate and i have no other options besides the internet.
should i get it or find one on the internet?

so if u remove the foam and put grip on it wont warp and still works fine?

i like it but its the only board ive ever ridden. it gets the job done, but i would just suggest a smaller skate. boardstop.com has some boards you shouold check out and you get a discount

I'd personally go with the cassette flat because a 117 is a huge damn wakeskate (I'm not even sure why they make them that big anymore). That's almost 47 inches....I'd look for something in the 40 to 42 inch range.
