c.brenton, slothboy420, nice guys! Heres a tip from chris that i really couldn't put better myself : Ride it more like you would a skateboard than you would a wakeskate.

Don't freak when you can feel the board switching between the last 2 stages of the rocker while you are in the flats, put your back foot pretty far back and that won't happen. That being said, don't be afraid to put your back foot too far back.

You guys are in for a treat Very Happy

what's up. just got done ridn my omen one word sick. once you get use to the concave you will really love the board. the weight is perfect and it spins sweet. the kicktails are a little smaller than the middle, but they fit your foot perfect. it also slides great with the durasurf bottom. the snap is nice and poppy. all n all itz a real tight ride. kudos christain. here is some pics of the board and me and my boy slidn our box.

slothboy420, The entire top looks different than mine. Did you grip it differently and mess with the OMEN lettering or what?

i always customize every board i get just to make it unique. i also use my own grip tape because itz got better grip than anyone else's. so if you see another one like it you know where you seen it first.

i dont realy like the grip being all straight like that...i like it to go up on the concave

yeah and spread the omen out. the grip is only 3/4 of an inch smaller in the center and even on the endz than the orignal so itz not that bad.

Rode my Revolt today for the second time and it definitely takes some getting used to the different rocker, it took me two days to get used to it, but man once I did it rides great, shuvs and lips are easier, and the pop is crazy especially on I/O's, and I love the weight its perfect, Job well done OMEN keep it up.

This guy is like the westcoast customs of wakeskates, he just makes them look even worse.. but i guess 'its all preference' ... im getting used to that being the response to anything and everything on this site, haha.. oh well.
