a. reed

Well, i had the oppurtunity to ride the A. reed deck yesterday. The first thing i thought when i jumped on it was.... BI LEVEL, it was very heavy... like im suprised it didnt sink. Anyway, besides the weight of the deck, it seemed pretty solid. It was a completly differnt feel then my integ, pop was more... skate feeling almost... The one thing i really liked about the board was it really stayed under you. Probly because of the weight. I did numerous shuvs and landed all of them and a 3 shuv and all stayed directly under me. It was pretty nice. Another thing i liked about the board was it was very wide. Alot of room to land the trick on. I didnt feel much pop outa the inside out though, well not as much as my integ... but that might just be me not being used to it. Over all its a decent board, just not for me, i perfer lighter, but if u like a heavy board that will stay under you and pop some huge ollies, then you should try out this deck.

Thanks to Mx779 and Skatevans for coming out and riding. Happy 4th of July everyone.

My buddy just got one and I havent had the chance to try it out yet.. mainly because I like smaller boards but from what I hear it has really good pop...

i ride normal LF impulse's and the other day i had my first ride on and integ and i didnt like it because on certain tricks you slip out and stuff like i found the board way too light..with kickflip attempts and stuff the wind would like take the board...(thats what it felt like to me). to me it felt like the board didnt have any control and it was really slippery on the water....

kallaz, if you're talking about the reed, they're available in a 42 wide. But it's a limited edition run (400 pieces). Eventually, they'll have a full-on 07 reed. This was just to hold people over.

I like it, i suck at wakeskating which makes the board even better, cause its wider (more room for error) and i like the shape with the wider kicktails..
