dirtyohioriver22, how much do you pay for a wakeboard? and humm a good rider will go through at least 3-4 sucky wood boards in a season (hint: LF). So there's your half grand...
Sure it's an expensive deck, but you get what you pay for this time, quality. Cause if Kevin says he ripped it for a season and it is still holding up, then it's durable for sure, these guys don't take it easy, I've seen quite a few broken LFs and such on their boat
and I can't beleive how much Akonite is willing to do to export their shizzle, you dont see many US co offering free shipping to the rest of the world huh?
keep pushing it guys!!! awesome to see some new faces kicking in the ant nest..

Hey Kevin, your english has really improved! I guess a couple of weeks in the us did you good, language-wise?
I prefer the first one, mostly becase of la tour Eiffel. The second one... it's been done. I like how what's-his-name's board is orange. Like the green cassette 4track.. Makes you remember it and recognise it. Those bright colours really stand out.

Yeah!
It was tottally inspired on the Eiffel Tower and the graphic that AKONITE uses for their other board and the 2 first designs that Kevin showed on this post!
I used many different angles from the Tower to made this!
( there is 4 towers there acctually )
Glad that you liked Kevin!
Good Luck //

I would go with orange.
Green is for cassette, orange is for akonite.
