- rectangular versus oval
- short versus long
- narrow versus wide
- narrow tail versus wide tail

weight:
- heavy versus light

rocker
- 5 stage versus 3 stage versus continuous rocker
- height of rocker, huge versus small
- length of the flat spot

edge

top

a cool graphic is all that matters, everyone knows that

[Mr. Top Hat]

f*ck the graphic, the company name is all that counts

[wakeskatedude]

Mr. Top Hat yeah sure - branding - we are all prisoners of marketing, but i'm intrested in preferences and why

your signature is amazing

[bob.]

Mr. Top Hat, of course, and the best way to tell if its a good company is by how cool their graphic is

n0ob

i think im making a roadtrip to jupiter soon

[Mr. Top Hat]

bobby211, companies should not be judged by their graphics, thats is just pure ignorance. the only true way to even judge a company is by how many mindless supporters it has. if a super large group of people think a certain company is superly epic then you would be like super stupid not to buy one of their boards.

[Mr. Top Hat]

and you should come to tequesta. jupiter is a planet.

[Evan71]

05 lemons, lighter skates are better. Any integrity actually, they will probably last forever ive had mine for like a year and a half and hit rails and everything and it looks the same as the day i got it

so basically i look for durability, composite cnc whatever. Lighter 3 stage wide enough for an 11.5 foot more rectangular, mediocre rail. integrity style concave and kicks

[wakeskatedude]

Mr. Top Hat, the mindless supporter sheeps are the problem, how much of this people are in the super large group?

[bob.]

Mr. Top Hat, i agree with everything you are saying but if you do not see what makes the customers buy the epic product then you my friend are ignorant, no one would buy a board if it didnt look cool, because looking cool is all that matters in not only wakeskating, but life all together.

and i meant lets go winching on jupiter the planet

but ok tequesta sounds good

[bob.]

and of course you have to have cool riders on the team, otherwise its not legit
