|

Has anyone ridden both sizes, and which one did you like better. I heard that the 41s are actually kind of big in comparison to the original concave 41s because there's more surface area. I want a bilevel, but not sure on the 40 or 41 |

i think the smaller the better, but thats only because it skate and i want the closest size of wakeskate to a skateboard i can get. for doin mostly flat and lip tricks, get the 40; for mostly wake jumps, get the 41. _________________ I like to choke when my team needs me the most, no Romo. |

Thomas said," get the 40 , wer're all riding the forty."
I got the 40
At 40" the bi seems bigger because it is wide and double thick.
I rode the Reed today and it seemed long, back to the bi.
Has anybody gotten a second batch bi-level yet? How is it riding? _________________ dbanana wrote:

I have the 40" and its perfect size, I would say get the 40". Oh yeah the new batch is almost out I was talking to Thomas today and he told me they resealed and put like hot polethreum (spelling) on the boards. Some shops have the new batch but they should all be out soon. |

I ride the Hampson which seems huge. But then again I'm 6'3", not that height matters tha much, more of a weight/personal preference thing. I've always ridden bigger boards though. |

Rode the 40" for the first time yesterday. Felt like a regular skateboard on the water. Weird feeling at first but I nailed most of my tricks immediately. Go with the 40" if you're into tech/lip tricks or the 41 for w2w tricks. _________________ _____________________________

I doubt it. You'll adjust to whatever you ride. |
