Has anyone ridden some of the o6 Gator wood wakeskates?
Do you know what the weight of these boards are?

they are heavy but probably some of the best wood skates out there.

The 41' Uraban is heavy when you pick it up, but the weight is perfect. There is a PBT slick bottom on it which would make it ride fast, but the weight sinks it down into the water for more control. Plus they last FOREVER. The Timmy is a cool board, but i havnt riden in so i cant really tell you much about it, except Tim kills it on that deck. And the Drew is the old Graffiti board which is sick. You should go to your local shop and check these decks out.

Thats up to you, all the gators seem really well constructed, Ive only ridden a Graffiti Board aswell, but have checked out the 06 Gator skates in person numerous times.

my favorite is the Urban, cuz they last so long and the weight of it is so perfect. Gator also has the Deuce Pop. This board is deffinatly a board everyone needs to try out. The thing that i didnt like was how hard it was to tricks with it. but its cool to see the bolts come around like a skateboard. and w2w it pops you so high.

We have a couple here at the shop, but I ride the McGuckin 43"

Good solid board.

Id like to try the rail series, looks tough!

i ride the 41 drew and it is a sick skate, super solid on everything and mine has gone through a few rough speels with rails, kickers, coughrockscough
so ye definately worth getting, but if you ride finless just drop some candle wax down the fin holes
