Byerly Legacy Good For Beginner?

I've found a damn good deal on a 07 Byerly Legacy 42. I was wondering if this would be a good skate for someone just starting out, as opposed to getting a flat deck and then having to upgrade.

itll work fine. You might not like it alot of people dont. I rode one for a couple mounths. Board floats unlike wood decks and u can actually stand on it and pretty much float on in the water lol. I thought it was a cool board. Grip tape can be gnar falling on it but u gottta playyyy to winn

wakeboarderdave, probably not but if you dont want to have to buy another skate as you progress you might as well get good on a high end skate...

wakeboarderdave, i owned a legacy for about 2 months i rode it and liked it at first , just like Dirty Cracker said it just floats on thw water and has a smooth ride, and grip tape is gnarly, but i wasn't a fan of the board and sold it.

The deal for the board is 130 shipped. I thought it was good since you can get a new one for 240.

i'd say go for it, thats a good price and if you dont like it you could probably sell it on ebay for more than that. personally i love the legacy.

wakeboarderdave, Yeah thats a good deal

Bad Luck, Did you always ride the legacy???

thefunky31, its my board of choice from Byerly right now, but i've ridden it since its been out pretty much, although i rode an SST and a catalyst 2.0 for a while until i could get a 42" legacy. i've ridden like 10+ different skates over the past couple years though.

The 42 is a nice board. I found it easier to learn stuff that I couldn't learn so quickly on my Gator Pro Model. Goood cable boar, and good behind the boat as well. And with a little encouragement from Bret I am now riding the 39 and love it!

The bad thing about asking a question like this is that you will get mixed responses. It's all opinion. If it's a gread deal, buy it and if you don't like it, sell it.

NEW = $275
Byerly = $130
Boat needs trailer brakes and I'm in college. You do the math.

The problem here is I can't really justify buying this, I haven't rode anything in a year. We got our boat last summer and it needed stringer repair so I didn't get to ride at all, skate or strap. I have a Kampus K41 but only got to ride it like twice.

wakeboarderdave, id say go for it, for the price just buy it and if u have nothing else to compare it to then you will prob get used to it easy, i rode a buddy of mines and it wasnt bad at all the kicktales are sick and it floats like a mofo, i found shuvs easy on it

which board is not good for beginners?????? Rolling Eyes

kejoz, legacy isnt really but it is a good board too as you progress, and mainly its all about how you feel on the board nothing will tell you more about the board then "you" on it.

it was just sarcasm! i think every board is good for beginners!!! why not?? i think there is nothing on a pro board what would be bad for a beginner!!!(maybe the price)
