I own one. The rocker is smaller than a flat skate. The concave is good. The foam is good. If you buy one, before you use it you need to relaminate the rails. They start to delam after the first ride. Overall, a nice skate.

i would say yes becuase i ride composite and thhink its better also it will alst you much longer then the Anthem will because it is a composite deck i really l ike it its good the only negative is its more narrow then otherboards but overall its a good board it also slides well on rails

they did have a composite. It still exists, except it is now called the LF Armada.

I felt it at the store, and it seemed a tad heavy. It may feel different on the water though. I haven't ridden it, but i hear that there isn't a great deal of rocker and like mentioned above, it could use some additional epoxy around the edges.

i ride the ARMADA, you should get it... its a sick ass board, probably the best ive ever had. No joke.

yeah the Armada and the Butter compression are not the same, the LF team tested the old Butter design after KentSG bought them, and decided to scrap it, I think anyone who has ridden the Armada will feel that its a much more solid skate, at least IMO

They have a couple of the old Butter composite skates at one of the local boat shops for $179 each. They look sweet except the edge is pretty sharp. I like the heavier weight though. The guy that works there said they rock on shuvs, and apparently they made a few with softer rails before LF took over. Also he said that LF is supposed to be coming out with a sick new wakeskate design that is going to floor everyone in 2006. He said he would have to kill me if I knew the secret. Anyone hear anything?

Butter44 nailed it...good concave, weak rocker and my buds delaminated after one ride.

I have know idea how you would relaminate the rails before using it but I would certainly look into putting on an extra wood sealer /coating on the board before use.

alright i would rather get the anthem because there's nothing to split its all foam so ..

I used polyruethane (sp?) for like wood doors and it got the job done.
