The paint I used is called "flouriserande orange" in Swedish. It's like a really really bright orange. First I spraypainted with a grey base coat, the two layers of matte white, then the orange and finally two layers of spray-lacquer.

The main reason I painted it in that specific color is that I find it easier to spot the board on spin and flip tricks, especially on those evening sets.

Allright, with a little help from the old goat-farmer from NZ we can now agree that the color is called "fluorescent orange".

(Jeremy, sweet bräda som fan! Vadå "inte åker så mkt längre"? Det är bara att göra rätt val och prioritera!!!!!! Later.)

which one feels closer to the 06 byerly,

Definetly the 39". The 42" is probably the biggest wakeskate I ever tried.

If you used to ride the old Byerly 42", go with the Legacy 39"!

so i was thinking since they put pbt on the bottom of the liquid force impulse to make it last longer, so why don't they just cover the entire boards with pbt, it will still feel the same, just it would last so much longer and keep the same pop throught out it life. it this a good idea or, cause i would buy one.

sorry to bring up an old thread, do these boards ride slow, slower than the 06 byerly or faster than it. i like how bi feel but i don't like how they flex, does it feel like a bi that is not flexy at all. And are the rails like the 06 byerly.
