| im guessing someones dad who had connections in hong kong or taiwan designed his own skate thinking a light skate would be "totally killer brah" not knowing you need some weight. He's better off making a state of the art penis pump than making wakeskates. |

i think some of the rider owned companys need to work on their finger control
many boards are lacking at today _________________ fins-personal preference
bi-level or concave-personal preference
one trick may be super hard for one person and simple for another
grip or foam- PERSONAL PREFERANCE (thanks gnarly dancer)
Dont make any more posts about those things

| The only thing with carbon fiber is if you get a cut in it or a tear the whole thing will start to come coming apart and will eventually snap on you. |

Hey Guys,
I was referred to this site by a friend of mine. I do some testing,
photo, etc work for Wake Werx in Boulder , CO. I read through the
comments made here and I do agree that some of the quotes put up by
the advertising and web department do come across as pretty funny.
My favorite is still the "I have no desire to learn wakeskating
tricks, but I'd rather ride around on this than my wakeboard."
Apparently this came from a girlfriend who just liked to cruise around
with no bindings. Anyways, I wanted to step in and just give an idea
of what the guys over here have accomplished.
Wake Werx is a brand new company in the world of watersports, trying
to bring in their expertise in composites (these guys are composite
engineers not just a rider making a board in his back yard). And
what they've produced here is a first take at a composite wakeskate.
They went around and talked with local Colorado riders about what they
(the riders) thought needed improvement. The most overwhelming
answer was, "make my board lighter." What they came up with is a
board that is; very light, very balanced, handles very well, is easy
to ride, and looks very sharp! Some of you have said that 3lbs is
too light. When they called me and told me that they had made a 3lb
board, I thought the same thing. But until you actually hold one,
spin it around, and use it, you won't understand. It just feels
perfect. I personally like the feel of the pro model a bit better,
the extra weight feels more reassuring, but they have definitely
produced a very fine board. The price is out of reach of a lot of
us, but so are all things that are produced at this level.
In regards to the 45" board, that board is offered for adults (dads,
moms, etc.) who want to learn and need something that is easier to get
up on and control. And actually, the 45 is only 43 inches long and
43 is only about 41 inches long. The boards just have a tip and tail
that protrude a little longer than the main board, I think it's to
keep the edges safer in case you drop it.
If any of you are interested, I know they still are looking for
talented riders to hook up with free gear. Just send them an email.
They are really nice guys and are always willing to discuss ideas.
I'll pass along the comments made in this thread and tell them to
adjust some of the wording on their site.
Thanks guys,
-Ryan |

That is by far my favorite quote of that movie. It's the same guy who played Bruce Lee in "Bruce Lee: A Dragon Story."
TTUFAN24, he was making fun of the guy above him who apparently copy and pasted his response from somewhere.
Now on the subject at hand...
A double six dollar burger from Carls junior weighs more than this thing and even the ensuing heart attack after eating one would be more gratifying than riding this board. |
