With its 9 ply maple construction and 3-D top, your feet will remain locked in while you snap huge airs and work your way up the wakeskating ranks.

FEATURES:
-Variable edge.
-9 ply maple deck.
-3-D molded top.

-3 stage rocker.

thefunky31, I have thats board DUH. The concave isnt nearly has good for a small footed guy at the old controls. But I'm diggin the less arounded tail end...

Classy, I have a size 11 foot. Does it have more concave than the 07 models?

Classy · Posted: Feb 26, 2008 2:01 pm Post subject:

thefunky31, arent you short? Um...I wouldnt say either one has a deeper dished out concave. But the 08's have a larger flat spot and more pronounced concave, wht 07's was more of a continuous curve

Classy, What does me being short have anything to do with anything? So what other board would you compare the concave to?

I'm short too. Most short dudes aint rocking a size 11 foot.... It's kinda like the old school LTD A.Reed
