Yo I come from South Africa and love wakeskating, saved allot and sweated allot of blood to get enough money to travel to Orlando Florida to go and buy my first bi level wakeskate.I heard allot of Performance ski and surf and went straight there.I bought the Ronix Zariel.So 2 months has past now and I only have been riding wake behind a boat and there is no rails or ramps there.So last weekend i did a little inside out ollie and just heard a snapp so I stopped riding and got back in the boat.When I looked the front spacer was out and the screw was broke in half the bottom part of the screw is still stuck in the bottom board the top board got ripped open by the top part of the screw.Cannot believe this!!!!!now it is summer and i have nothing to ride on I thought the board was durable?So if water can brake through metal or steel like that what would happen if you use that board on rails or ramps.Hope this would help people before buying a bi level.

Something similar just happened to my bi-level. I might be off bi-levels for a bit.

houtplank, if you are riding in salt water (like I often do) and you don't rinse off EVERYTHING thoroughly when you are done riding, the salt will eat through those screws and everything else that is metal if it isn't rinsed away.
