hey guys im thinking about buying a new board but there are so many options i have no idea what to get...
-i like wood boards that are like 40-41 in size
-boards heavy enough so they wont fly away in w2w or flip tricks (centerweighted as well)
-are under 250$
thanks just post some suggestions or personal opinions

stev-oh, iF You want a wood board, Get a Sattelyte, OAK or LF. There all super good boards with PBT bases that will last you longer then any other board out there.... You wont be disapointed, I rode the Succes on Friday and it is seriously one of the BEST boards ive ever riden.... But I dont want to be accused of Being a NAZI so I wont say anymore,

stay away from the LF support a company who cares about wakeskating oak/sattelyte/omen/ bunch of smaller companys that have their boards dialed

DirtyCracker, yea LF doesnt care about wakeskating, their whole skate team just blows... dude you have to be kidding me LF does so much for wakeskating.

im not saying "dont support oak, sat, or omen" they make amazing boards. all im saying is that LF shouldnt be left out...

oh just for the record i have supported almost every smaller wakeskate company (sattlyte, omen, integ, oak, cassette) except devotid ( just cuz i didnt have enough chedder ) and like to others i think...

CarterOG308, wakeskating does much more for liquid force than liquid force does for wakeskating.

if you are strictly talking wood boards i would go with either a sattelyte or an oak

stev-oh, Your avatar is giant Shocked

I would say get an omen, but they are over $250 Sad

. Devotids are great boards. They are a perfect weight and the rocker is sick, it gets a really unique pop, most "skateboard feel" i've ever felt in a skate. I'm not too into supporting LF. Sure, they have a badass team who they probably pay well, but i can't say they have done much (to my knowledge) to help wakeskating progress. I rode an Oak Gege last year for a while and i loved it. I landed some of my first shuvs on it the first time i rode it. Of course now they have the PBT bases and are really strong i've heard. Sattelytes look sick, i've never ridden one but i like the way i see the team riding them, and the kicktails/concave look pretty awesome.
