 |

so i was looking at the information and pics on the new O'brien Intox (http://www.wakeskating.com/showarticle.php?a=723) and all i could think when i first saw it was LF Mod. ive been interested in the mod for a little bit now and even though the Intox is new i was wondering what diferences there are and what else, has anyone riden either board? any help on the topic is appreciated, cause i can only see slim diferences.

The mod has concave and kicktails like a normal wakeskate. The obrien has concave and kicktails that are steep and the concave is abrupt like the byerly.

| i haven't ridden either of these but i did see them both up close at the surf expo a while back. they are pretty similar but like cjbecker said, the obrien has a little bit steeper concave more like the byerly legacy. i dont know... neither of them really appeal to me |

| the concave on the mod starts sooner, where the concave on the intox starts closer to the rails. it seems that size 12+ feet will like the intox better while smaller feet will prefer the mod's concave. |

I did. 
And to get this back on track, those two skates along with the legacy look similar to me. But I have yet to ride any of them. I'm just basing that off the pictures I've seen online.
