I've been looking at boards for the past month and can't decide on what board to buy are Distortion boards any good or Control boards?? I'd appreciate the help, its like every other day I find a different wakeskate company and i'm just like ahhhhhh!!

I've never heard of either of those companies haha. If I was buying a new board I'd probably get a Remote, Watermonsters, Southern or a Virtue. All solid wood boards Wink

Distortion makes winches and i haven't seen a ton from ctrl. They're better known for wakeboards...i think they sponsor ryan doyle, and they might have a bi level or something. Not a super impactful brand on the wakeskate side of things.

But they sponsor phil soven!

Yo shred Austin thanks man, you sound like everyone else who has a remote board, in love with the brand. what kind of boards do you guys ride on the street?? Well I appreciate you guys letting me know whats up, like I said before i'm new to this sport and i'm in love with it man. I haven't gotten a chance to get on the water yet but watching yall gets me HYPED. I know you remember watchin those skate videos with ya boys and like "hell yea" lets go skate son!!

Woah, haven't heard the distortion name in a LONG time. Didn't know they were still making decks. I had one of their relatively early bi-levels. Got it at surf expo from the dude who made the company. He was super stoked on skating and a really cool guy. The board eventually broke (as all bi-levels did at the time) but it was decent up until that point; i even think I had a pre-production model so I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

DAMN that's crazy man. yea I've been getting that, that the brand is old or no one has heard of it. i'm new to this sport so i'm still checking out boards but I've been running into ones that I've never seen before or I haven't read about in a wakeskate mag. it was like 2 brands I never heard of before but I've finally made a decision and i'm going to with a wM or a Remote board.

Its crazy how all of you guys live like right near a river or a lake...I wish I did man!!

YALL ARE ALL SOME LUCK SONS OF B@#@$*%

YALL WAKESKATE DUDES ARE MAD COOL THO, SHOWING A BROTHA SOME LOVE I APPRECIATE THAT. TRYING TO SHOW BROTHAS WE CAN'T BE SO NARROW MINDED, NAH MEAN!!! KEEP SK8N AND KEEP WAKESK8N!!
