The K39-K41 is pretty flat and fun on butter without fins. I have not rode the Armada so I can not compare. But those K's are different from the other skates I have been on.

But I suck so who knows?

I'll beat Pirate to this one. Give Sattelyte a try. Much different than the Armada.

PIRATE,

You should or Warlock should send out some demo skates for all of us to try or at least me. Cool

That 50 yr swell is coming to Chicago. I want to be ready.

Can't go wrong with an OAK! Just remember the Prodigal comes in red bottom as well as blue.

partydock17, don't listen to them.

wood sucks no matter how tuff it is, it's still wood. wood and water don't mix, same reason they stopped building wood boats. because fiberglass is better. go with integ.

integ > wood

me > jesse

SkateForce, that's why they are native americans. native americans have those races as tradtiton. before they invented fiberglass. now everyone races fiberglass canoe's. what would you take kayaking? a wooden kayak or fiberglass/plastic. keep in mind it will be beeten on rocks. it doesnt matter. the point is integrity > wood & me > jesse

What you should do is go to your local boardshop, grab about 6 different skates and spend a few hours riding them all. Only way you will know what you want.
