New Wakeskates

Hey,
I'm sure some of you have ordered a New Wakeskate before, but I was wondering: 1. Should I go with a concave or bi-level (I've never ridden a bi-level before so I don't exactly know the benefits)? 2. How does the custom graphic for the bottom of the bottom deck work? Does it have to be panoramic? 3. If I go through with doing a custom pic, will the wakeskate still be black wood with black grip as advertised on the "bi-level" page?

Thanks,
Mark

yea all the bi-levels come black. The custom graphic can be anything you want it just needs to be sized accordingly to the board. otherwise it will get all pixilated. The bi-levels are a heavier more stable skate than the concave boards, but they pop way better than a concave and flip way easier. Some people love then some hate them so its really up to the rider. I love to go really big wake to wake on them because they pop so well and are so stable.

I have a concave and my friend has the bi. I like the bi level and it is great w2w because of its weight but i prefer the concave.

yeah, without a doubt, does it run up the price at all to have a custom graphic?

CK512, that is just the winch frame.

bmr712, yeah all of the prices are right

FenderBass37, I like the bi-level's alot but i still prefer the concave over the bi. its all just personal preference. Make sure that you really want a bi-level because once you get it whether you like it or not, your keeping it.

-Supra-, i just got off the phone with my friend who helps them out. Robin has been shifting the prices everyday so what you see today is going to most likely be different tomorrow. I am sooo pissed because i bought there winch with the honda for $1200 and i could have saved 500 bucks.

Ok, so I don't exactly have many friends around me who ride. If I like going big w2w, shuv-its, lipslides, etc., should I get a bi? They definitely look sweeter haha.

My brother called and spoke with New and those prices are right! Welcome to the off season. The company has 3 employees (IIRC) so they don't have a lot of overhead and they really are just trying to move some product. I'll keep an eye on the prices if they do plan on changing them around. Depending on my income tax return, I might pick me up one of them winches too!!! Only $15 shipping for a winch? Insanity!
