cheers for the replys, possibly not going as far as custom.. but something basic like that.
Im in AUS so that may limit my choices unless i order from US.
Also looking for something in the $250 range, there abouts.
*must have concave and kicks |

noobie, have you ever ridden a bi level? Well if not I highly suggest it. New (<- company name) wakeskates makes a budget friendly bi level that does not sacrifice durability and qualitly, has a bomb ass graphic too.
Good Luck _________________ If you don't like my fire then don't come around. Cuz I'm gonna burn one down.

yeh bi levels i asume are an upgrade from original design.
Also guessing *new are based in US so probably be a last resort if i cant find something here.
Thanks for the site dalesk8, good to know we actually have a market for it here.
among other things, length is an issue.. im 171cm and 58kg.
I have no real idea on board size but like to keep it small

thanks guys.
now knowing im hunting for 40"
i think bi-level might be a bit heavy,coin and durability might not be as good as basic design.
doesnt have to be big name brand, but really like cassette's.
Anyone know of sites that sell models? |

noobie, dont get a casette yet, its a bit early in your career to go getting a board that awesome
Im from AUS too and trust me if your in the 250 buck range, go for a NEW, i have their pelican Pro model and will have the dub stix soon. (it may take a few weeks for postage but its definately worth it). If u are looking for a 40" go for the pastura pro model, just email them at their website and they will help you out (plus their board do NOT EVER DIE) www.newwakeskates.com _________________

be sure to keep some money for:
-some new kicks (6.0 or some gator skinned Byerlys)
-a vest if you don't already have one............or even want one
-band-aids for grip tape burns
-a weeks worth of Taco Bell
-N.A.R.L.A. dvd
-a new hat........................cause you'll need one
-energy drinks!!!!
-inflatable shark, aligator, etc........ to ollie over
-health insurance
-winch investment plan downpayment
-sunscreen
-chewning gum
-taxi fare...........so your girlfriend will have a ride home after you ditch her to go wakeskatn
-pretzels
-that one sticker you HAVE to have on your board
-a new username on wakeskating.com........because you never stay a noob for long
.......that's about it I think _________________ Losers say that they'll try.............winners go home and F^&k the prom queen. |
