I am debating between getting the byerly 107 or the gate but I don't know if you need to be good to use the gate or if it is too big for me (im 5'7). I also don't know if hyperlite is the best, but I do think that I woud probably rather foam to grip tape. Please help, Will

Get a '484 Greg Pro Model' OR a 'Mutiny Josh Pro Model'.

BTW Will:
1. my last post was a private jock
2. HyperLite does not sell wakeskates, they only sell small wakeboards without bindings
3. for a wakeskate, check Cassette, Mutiny or Kampus (and maybe LF and 484 in 2005 if they invest in R&D)

I hear the 484 Greg pro model is going to just be a 2000 Cassette. Twisted Evil

1. Classic
2. Agreed
3. Absolutely.

If you want foam, I would get a Mutiny Perseverance or a Cassette Asymmetric skate with foam top. To my knowledge Kampus do not have a foam topped skate.

If you want a Hyperlite board try the scape first I would try a wood board before getting a Byerly or the Gate, wood boards are cheap and I like them better than the foamcore boards
