Ride some boards to see what fits

Lol, just lol.

I have only ridden the legacy once and i didnt like it at all, so i wont comment on that.

Devotid - http://www.wakeskating.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18090 (havent ridden one but from everything i have heard they are amazing and im gonna get one very soon).

My mate has a Gator - Deuce pop ('07) and he absolutely loves it. To me, i rekon it rides a bit sluggish in the water, but it does have some insane pop to it

LF Hampson - lot of people riding the new LFs at the cable near me, i can say they have a nice shape, very good to ride on, but the grip tape will not last u long, every one i have seen has the grip tape completely falling off.

Personally im riding NEWs decks and they are pretty damn rad, i like the feel of it. But yeah like it has been said a billion times before, its all personal preference Razz

tad, get over your shizzle already...

I had a danny hampson from last year and rode it, but I can't say too much about it because I didn't ride it long. I will have to take a closer look, but I'm almost positive this year's shapes are a tad different...I think there were a few things that weren't *quite* right on the boards...they seem beefier this year. At any rate...yeah.

to get a preliminary start, I'd suggest doing a search, only because I know some of these boards have been discussed before, so there's got to be some more info. after that, hopefully a few others can give their feedback.

i love my devotid bi, highly suggest if you like bi-levels.

once again though, personal opinion.

try testing these boards and see which ones you like.

i got a lf 41 hampson and i love it, i also got a 08 deuce and i like it a lot intense amount of pop, rode a byerly and hated it,never ridden any of the other but i have heard the devotid is sick, but really it is just personal preferance so you should try a bunch before you pick one. but thats just my opinion.

Integrity. we all have our own style and preference though

robmack · Faceplant Joined: 03 Jun 2004 Posts: 14 City: Clark-vegas

well i had a cassette and loved it got a integrity and still love it just want something new. ive never rode a bi-level, i might make my old casette flat deck into one with the devotid top-deck. i dont really have a pro-shop or a lot of people who wakeskate near me to try out many other decks. thanks for the help guys

That would be tight. I made my old cassette and cwb flat decks into a wakeskate bench. These were old to... like '03 or '04
