It's the person that really makes it track the way it does my cassette tracks fine you just have to get used to it and then you won't really even notice it.

liquid, almost any board without the exception of the hyperlite catalysts and byerly models (channels on bottom), generally do not track well, but if you are first starting out you probably should have some fins on until you get the feel of it, because if you start out with no fins it is going to seem impossible

I ride with a 2003 scape 112 and there is no grooves or anything on the bottom of that. Will that make it was to loose?

wsdevilman, i think its gonna feel really loose at first, but once u get use to it itll feel just fine...i remember my first few times it felt like i was on ice, now it feels really good and stable.

I ride without fins and I think it's easier to spin 360 shuvs or bigspins.
What do you guys think about doing shuvs without fins?

cassette is awesome, all i can say about that board is that i liked it. try searching the forum for more information.

cassette is a rider-owned, highly-supported wakeskate company that most will argue was the first wakeskate company/producer/creater/maker. cassette is owned and was started by pro wakeskater and former pro wakeboarder thomas horrell. thomas started cassette wakeskates with the help of liquid forces distributor and now runs with linear distribution. cassette used to be the "small company tryin to make it" but now seems more "mainstream" and unfortunately some have lost interest in the company because of this.

anyone, feel free to correct any information that i have mistaken
