07 walton impulse review

I purchased one of these from my shop today. Im not a big fan of liquidforce but ill admit i love the shape and the ride. I took it out today to baptise her. Needless to say its a great ride but in my opinion much different then previous years. The board in general is estremely lively. The pop seemed a little less predictable then my older impulses but once you get adjusted to it you find its sweet spot. The most important thing about this board though is its durability. Its much stronger than previous years which is always good. I checked the board out after my set and theres no chipping of the paint or hairline cracks. All in all im pleased but its gonna take some adjusting to.

for some reason i always think they look really light, but one of my buddies that has one says the weight is solid.

I just recently rode an 07 walton too. It rode very well.

I held one and they are not light. They are a nice weight. I held a Mcguckin the other day and that joker felt light.

I don't get why you people continue riding LF's sometimes...

i slid mine, and it is niiiice. didnt scratch up hardly at all and seemed like it would last.

Slapdown, dont hate until you ride them...

i know ive said it a few times already, but the 07 LF decks are legit.

C-WAY Crew, the aaron reed 42 is lighter then the walton 40. Im not saying your wrong that just surprises me. Or are you refering to the reed that came out midseason last year.

kyle41, the reed and hampson are completely different from the walton. they are made in different places, have different bases, and different edges.

wakemitch, is the walton base material a result of them being made in a different factory?

electricsnow, yeah. its this weird sticky material. i cant push dont with my thumb nail and it leaves a mark. Chris 41 has the 41 and it has a true pbt base.
