It sucks. I have one and never ride it...

Get a nice wood concave or a integ if you want composite

bryanbryanbb08, I tried to ride it multiple times and hated it. I like wood. But I had a few friends that just barely started to wakeskate and they tried to learn on the 2.0 and had very VERY difficult times trying to ride it. I put them on my LF A. Reed and they were straight.

clem, wood decks can range anywhere between 150-300$, depending on whether you want a concave or a bi level.

companies i would strongly recomend for wood concaves would be oak, sattelyte, and newwakeskates.

for bi levels i would recomend a devotid

and for composites i would recomend integrity

i got an 06 byerly which looks like the same shape as the 2.0 and i like the way it rides and pops personally, but judging by the words on here its not very popular and u should prolly demo it before spending a couple hundred on it.

thefunky31, I learned on a wood deck but just like the cat 2.0 shape and the new byerly, especially on the wake.

my first deck was an omen revolt, but the company went out of buisness. Even though this isn't how I started out, id say an oak, reasonable price for the quality
