So just got my Vinyl in today...let's just say that it's the sickest thing I've seen in a long time...good sesh learned some cool new things. Everyone was saying that you have to push super hard to do anything on it.....WAY wrong, so responsive it's rediculous, and on rails mmmmm i <3 rails especially with this board. On the wake it rides super smooth the concave is so exagerated and the pop is off the rocker haha.

anyway if you get the chance take it for a cruise its sick!

also a big fan of the twin tip design

Any chance you ridden an integ? I know other people have compared them, but since you have a different opinion on the way it rides i'd just be curious of how you'd compare them.

As you can probably see, i'm debating between this and an integ. Was leaning towards a team 41, but the fact that I can get a vinyl NOW instead of waiting for them to come in stock is a big plus.

bahne, ya I (this is my opinion) personally did not like the feel of the Integ, it has great pop and if you like a light board go for it, response is pretty sick, but personally I think the Vinyl is the smoothest thing ever deff. worth the money. Also it's built super strong and wide which is sick if your hitting rails. The one thing that I will comment on is the Boyancy of the Vinyl, If you are a new rider you are probably going to have a hard time getting the board set-up. Overall though I believe that the Vinyl One of the best boards out there for all around wake (rails, wake, tech...). I'm starting to sound like I'm getting paid to write this haha (I wish)

Anyway good luck on the purchase, either deck you choose is going to be sick, both awesome boards depending on YOUR style and preference

VinceWhiteman, haha....No I dont have facebook, I've discovered that the computer begins to consume your life, if I had facebook I would prolly end up living in the cyberzone of fictional reality where good wakeskaters become nothing more than overweight forum readers...haha

I felt like the Byerly was very sluggish when you cut into a turn. Does the vinyl ride like the byerly?

but also depends on personal riding style

i got a chance to check out the vinyl yesterday at performance. the board looks really great and i really like the concave. it was very similar in shape and weight to the legacy. i've ridden the legacy and i'm guessing the vinyl is gonna ride a lot like it without the insane concave. needless to say, i can't wait to ride this board, anyone wanna give me $239.99?

is it true that becuase the board is heavier it is more difficult for shuvs or that it takes more effort to spin?
