Looking for a deck that rides high in the water/Pics added

Alright so I have had knee problems for quite some, 2 knee surgeries one ortho and one ful blown cut it open, mind you this was years ago when they weren't as good as now and recovery took longer.

Well about 4 years ago i retore it and never got it fixed, just braced it and went on, as I didn't have insurance.

It got a bit better and stronger but then a few weeks ago I helped a buddy move and tweaked it super bad again.

Any thoughts on a board that rides a little higher in the water/is more boyant so that it planes faster.

I am 220+ wet so if that helps.

The drag getting up is now bugging me super bad.

How is the vinyl or the legacy as they are composites and have alot of surface area?

Help an old guy out!

legacy and zariel got mad sharp rails, they are almost completly squared off. Im sure they ride pretty high.

The new integs ride pretty high, float real well too, the team pops up real nice and quick behind my little boat no problem, way better than all my old water logged wood concaves

I'd point you towards a Devotid from personal experience.

So the zariel rides higher out of the water than the duece
I have ridden the duece, and it and I didn't get along it dragged soooooo long just under the surface of the water for me making planing harder.

I got a new mogley 40 and it just seems like it doesnt have the surface area I need

I rode a timmy k last year and liked that board concave and all but it was a little light for my tastes

Vinyl is the most boyant skate I have ever ridden. It rides supper high on the water.

i got a gator boards doyle 41 last week and i reckon it rides really high in the water - too high for me, i don't like it...
it's too bouyant - feels like it's just skimming across the top of the water, and that's certainly what it does if ya fall back and shoot the board out in front of ya.
the doyle is also heaps wide so it has massive surface area for a 41...
and it's got mad concave on the top - really locks ya feet in

Well I would need to get rid of a board to get a new one so...

That being said I have a New Mogley with no fin holes anyone interested

Carpet boarded a few times and on water twice.

Interested in a vinyl or a doyle.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

yes the vinyl! Birthday

it is really floaty. it holds a great edge, and is amazing on rails. the legacy is nice too but i reccomend the vinyl Very Happy
