looking for a new board, and was wondering if anyone has ever ridden one of these, just curious, i have a hyperlite right now and want something different. thanx

Personally I would stay away from obrien as well as hyperlite. Are you thinking about a composite or wood board?

kyle13, why would you stay away from hyperlite?

I like my hyperlit theres nothing wrong with it, but i just want something different, i don't want a composite there too light for me, im thinking about maybe a cassette, omen or NEW wakeskate. Cool

Hyperlites composites are not light any more. and their the catalyst and byerly are pretty good, most people just hate on them cause everyone else on this site does. If your looking for a skate, don't waste your money on an obrien... the omens look sick though...

Check out Oak, Sattelyte, or Level13. Of these I've only ridden Oak boards (Artificial Heart & Gege), but all are wood and will probably have the weight you are lookin for in a board.

i would definatly go with Level Thirteen , sattelyte or oak they are all super good boards they are all durable and are all good weight

-LoGiK-, perhaps I worded that wrong, I personally don't like the way hyperlite skates ride, I've ridden a byerly and a catalyst and didn't care for the way they rode compared to other boards.

So I shouldn't say to stay away from it, just not my cup of tea.
And there's plenty lesser known rider owned companies that need support but thats another topic.

kyle13, support the board you like not because the company is small or unknown

I would reccomend a verge deck the store will be up soon. i got mine 2 weeks ago and its the best flat deck out there imo. it pops more than any board ive ridden, including 5 stage and concave. ( I shlt u not about the pop, its good). durable, ive hit alot of rails. just look around there is so many good/different boards its hard to make a bad choice.

obrien should stick to wakeboards cause i think their wakeskates are a joke
