basically the same board.. buy a control for way cheaper and just take the foam off and grip it

but I don't know that you'll find the quality in the control like you should in the canadian made impulses. So I would personally recommend an impulse...

electricsnow, agreed if you're gonna get a new impulse but the old ones break like crazy

liqe skates, are you set on an LF deck? There is a lot out there, don't limit yourself to one brand if you cant. If you are open to getting other decks check out www.oakwakeskates.com or www.integrity-wake.com the integs won't be in for a while as they are sold out of there decks at the moment. But they are worth the wait I love mine. It's compression molded and made out of foam so it won't take on water, it has a distinct feel that I don't feel in other decks, if you can't wait then check out the Oaks which are the most durable wood decks on the market. My oak as gone up,over and through rocks from riding in my pond and it takes it like a champ. Remember wood and water don't mix though and eventually your skate is gonna start cracking and taking on water.

liqe skates, talking about Liquid Force boards, i think the Danny Hampson's Impulse 41" looks to the better option...

...but if you can wait a liitle, SleuCrew said that Omen skates will sooner be in Australia, thats a definitive good choice!
