Question

Do the different rocker types (continuous, 3-stage and 5-stage) make a difference in the way the board rides/performs?

I rode a 5 stage once. It felt like I was riding a canoe or something. 3 stage is where its at. I dont think anyone really uses anything else nowadays but 3 stage and continuous anymore. Maybe O'Brien makes a 5 stage but they suck balls.

think of a 5 stage like a old caddy with some 22's on bags...... yaaaaahhhhhh

and a 3 stage is snappy like a lotus

i like my 5 stage omen. Cool

but i'm gonna talk to the guys a L13 and see if we can get a 36 stage goin on... the kick tails will be so big that they curve all the way up and touch each other..... like a big hampster wheel. Smash

vince, as the local L13 rep could you draw up some basic designs of my 36 stage and send them to me, so i can get it dialed in to my CNC. Smash

thefunky31 O'brien is coming out with a good wakeskate they actually had pro riders help shape it. But I prefer 3 stage.
