upgrading to a new board

I have a scape 107 foam right now, i really dont like the weight of it, it feels too heavy to me, and the foam is gettin a little slick, lookin into a gate, cassette 4 trac or a mutiny concave, Im leaning toward the mutiny concave right now, any suggestions on board and suggestions on foam/grip

Oh if it matters, I can do a shove it, body varial, 180, bunch of lip tricks, and wake to wake but its on a jet ski.

4-TRAC IS GOOD

its at 65 or 70 im not sure, u just edge in like a boat and pop an ollie, it would be nice if i had a wake about a foot bigger to learn some stuff but its all i have

The Mutiny will make you a very happy little camper.

If weight is important to you, the Mutiny use a special technique where they put the optimum weight into different areas of the deck.

the majority of the wieght is placed in the center, allowing the board to spin on axis evenly. there's more to it but I don't remember right now

if a Scape is to heavy you will hate the much heavier 4-trac

You can go wake to wake behind a PWC, I do it all the time. That is behind a 3 seater...I'm not sure about a 2 seater.

isnt it more of just a big ollie then? iv never tried off a pwc but i have done it off the fishing boat and its not the same as off of a real wake, its a different type of trick i guess you would say.

so is the mutiny concave heavier than a scape?
and are the 484 decks heavier than a scape?

NO one near me wakeskates so i have no way to demo

Since August, I ride a LF 2004 Concave 43'.
Shape: perfect - Paint: perfect - Cracks: no cracks - Riding feeling: Cassette.
So I really-really like this Drew 03 'fake'.
But I hope LF will bring some innovations next year, otherwise they will lose a lot of (hardcore) customers.

i love the way the mutiny's look, just wondering why none of the pros or anyone in any videos ive seen are riding them if they're supposed to be so good

if weight is a factor the gate and the cataylist and byerly is good the cataylist is a little skinny to me same with byerly i haven't rode cassette or mutiny but i think im goin to buy a jobe skate or a LF or a cassette next year

liquid force is going to come out with new boards i think like midseason. the reason they didnt have any new boards out this year was because of time. they just got the company going adn just didnt have time to come out wiht any new shapes but they are going to have new shapes so i cnat wait to see them
