-=AlexXx=-, I don't know, all I've ever seen him ride was that Kampus that turned into a homemade concave, and then the ends got rounded off. I wonder what his motive was for the rounded nose/tail. Interesting design

one thing that i like about this board is that it rides quick in the water, and feels light in the water for a bi level. it releases really well too. when i do a 3shuv i just think big shuv with a little extra. but it is still super consistent like lots of bi levels.

rides like a skateboard and has snowboard roots, so its super tough. also it floats alot so you don't have to wear a vest. although signature wakeskates insists that you use the proper floatation device.

my statement stands

Slapdown, i have ridden an oak for half a day and land tricks without slipping out and then ride a new and slipout on the same trick i was landing on the oak. doesnt that make the new slip out more?

i was wondering if Incentive has ridden that board and could compare if it slipped out more than another board he has ridden because in my opinion the way it is shaped looks like it is slippery.

DIRK, I'm not by any means trying to argue. Along with what gnarlydancer said, a lot of things determine how high/low a board sits in the water and how "slippery" it seems, but it's a matter of how you ride a board that makes you slip out on tricks or not.

DIRK, news feel more "slippery" because there is a more abrupt concave and a bigger flat spot. so it "makes" you not used to the rocker.

there is alot that goes into board design. length, center width, tip/tail width, side cut, rail shape, rocker, channels/fins, core material, etc and all effect the ride.

looks like a sick deck, looks skinny thoguh. might just be how i see it cause of the rounded edges. it would be sick to try

RUSSIAN, I was wanting to hear an explaination for that as well. Laughing

when one falls, which tends to happen often on the wakeskate there is a period of waiting in which the rider is waiting for their pull of choice to return with the handle. during this time one may grab on to their signature wakeskate for some added floatation. this quality tends to elongate sessions requiring the wakeskater to do less treading water.

the board is quite buoyant

glad people are looking at this thread

That vestless comment is totally ridiculous. The board looks interesting and I'm happy for clint, but please don't use that as a selling point for the board.
