SO I was really really tempted to order a custom New wakeskate and supply the graphic myself which seemed so wicked until I realized I know dink about NEW so who here has ridden their stuff and what do you think give me your opinion

NOTE: an opinion is a position backed up with facts so dont just write they suck. . they rule I need recon here

Depends what u are lookin in a board, I rode the 08 Pelican (was my first board). At the time i loved the 39", it cut well, rode reasonably fast on the water and spun sooo well. Then i got the bi level, fell in absolute love, but nose dived it and killed it Sad

... Then got a new one and it lasted like 5 months till i landed a kicky upside down Sad

. I have the 09 Pelican, the 39" is a bit small for me, but man the way they create the new board :O they doing it right or sure, those things will NOT snap easily. Rides pretty damn well as well. I definately recommend one man

I have had 6 New wakeskates all diferent sizes and shapes. I had some problems with one delaming, but they are very cool guys over there and took care of me by replacing the deck, no questions asked. Personally I think Robin is a straight up dude and is doing good things for wakeskating. Buy one, and if you dont like it sell it to me....haha

Ive had a handfull of NEW's and i freakin love them. Ive never had a problem with any of them at all. Ive been riding this one since January and its straight shredding still, ive hit ungodly crap with it and its still not water logging or coming apart.

Johnnys problem of snapping bi-levels has mostly been fixed with the new way NEW is making the bi-levels now, Barrett just showed me it at Raging Pull 2 and it looks mroe solid then ever. It seems to be so solid that even Barrett himself is riding it and i have heard him say previously that "Bi-levels are just not for him".

Deff check out a new, if u dont wanna throw down for a new one, try to find a used one, although it will be tough to find a used one, cuz no1 sells them Razz

if you have ne more questions, holla Smile

I've got the Bi-level. I love everything about this board. I have had it about a year now and still rides like the first day i tried it out.

and yes, its lasted that long and i hit rails all the time. Birthday

The only boards from NEW that I have ridden all belonged to Alexxx. The boards were made with solid construction and rode nice, it's just I was a little big on his smaller boards. I have a size 13 shoe and Alexxxs got his skate for like a size 9. They popped nice and had a good weight, I just couldn't get the size down, it was just small for me.

I have a Mogley, and the concave on it is sick!

I love it, learned so much on it. You can't really go wrong, with the price, and it is very sturdy and durable.
