they have wood and composite boards. the composites are on the lighter side, and the wood decks seem real solid. quite a few guys on here ride them. |

If you are going to get a gator wood board do not get the urban rail 43. It has no pop and it has sharp edges. The impalla rides really good, but I hear it breaks on rails. If you are going to get a composit gator board get the doyal it is very strong and it has a big flat spot. _________________ l_o/------------------------<l |

I heard the Impala and Doyle are the same board with different graphics, anyone know for sure?
I rode a doyle once and liked it, it seemed real solid, nice shape too. |

Scotty B, it is the worst board i have ever rode... the douce pop is by far and away the worst board i have ever rode... it is like a big flat deck.. and has no flex in the top deck.... _________________ -andrew- |

88skisupreme, If that's true I wonder why anyone would want to ride the Doyle... (Haha, my boyfriend rides the Doyle!) Except for the very small difference in size: 40.5 v/s 41 and 42. The graphics on the Doyle look like... eh, no comments. _________________ 01/20/2009. Niko-chan! |

The doyle has an ex-trans bottom which is very strong and the impalla has a fisher-cloth bottom that is very weak. and they have the same width, but the impalla is just a little longer. _________________ l_o/------------------------<l |
