I'm looking for a new board and am looking for one that is good but i'm also on a tight budget. also it seems most wakeskates on the internet are foam top and i want a grip top... maybe i'm stupid and just amnot looking at the right places or something. anyways if anyone can help that'd be great

depends on whether you want a board that is wood, or not. what exactly is your budget?

you can pretty much afford most skates out there then, besides the bi-levels, i would def. check out the impulse by lf, ive riden it and its a super nice board, i know alot of people hate on hyperlite on this website but check out the byerly as well it has a reallly deep concave and is good wake to wake, I havent ridden an oak but I've been told very good things about those boards as well.

does anyone consider flat decks any more?

MikeyLSkate, keep in mind im also paying in candian dollars, and have to pay for shipping. They tend to charge retarded fees for crossing the border. like i bought some DVS Volari shoes and the fee to come from the states to canada was more than the shoes themself. but thanks for the help. ill check out those boards. ive realised in snowboarding and skateboard that usually no matter what board i use, as long as i take a few minutes get used to it, i can ride it.
