LF wakeskates..

Has signed me!

haha jk.

But seriously, I was at Performance the other day checking out the wakeskates, and I was reading the descriptions of the wakeskates. I think I might have brought this up before or maybe someone else did, but I'd like to discuss it again. Something they say really confuses me. Check it for yourself.

Most sales copy is hyperbole and should be taken that way, but if you read the copy on the LF skates, it is really straight forward with no contradiction what so ever.

Basically, they wanted to do some things with a board and after trying to do it with wood, they realized they couldn't. Thus they made one board that is not wood. All the others are wood, so they did not completely abandon wood boards.

I found a concave wood wakeskate in a shop close to my cottage. I think it was like 115$ canadian and i'd never heard of the company. One of the employies told me is was a small divison of LF. The board was all black except for something written in red on the bottom that i cant remember and probobly a 42. Does anyone know what kind of skate it was?

Any company that will warantee their wooden skates for a whole year after purchase is ok with me! My impulse, which I love by the way, had a tiny crack on the side and they gave me a new one no questions asked Exclamation

My broken bilevel on the other hand is still sitting in my room collecting dust Mad

Hooray for LF!!!

JB_CANSKATE, For some reason i think 484 had a all black deck, and well they bought LF's old molds and produced a few decks before they went under... thats the only thing that comes to my mind.

i love my impulse....crazy pop! but i want to ride an integ...

The integ feels like a feather compared to the impulse. Not better, not worse...just much lighter.

yea when i was checking into new boards i also saw that and said wtf.. but i bought an impulse anyways for the weight and becuase i dont really like integrities.

on the warranty thingy, so like if a ply starts to come apart or even a little crack and they will replace it?? probably the second you hit a rail the warranty is gone though

And they're no longer a Cassette copy,they've done some different things with the shape.
