Hey everyone, ive been riding wood decks my entire wakeskate life so far, but im kinda gettin pissed at how many ive broken in the past year or so ( 6 and counting) im looking at a couple of new decks that are composite, im a tall kid ( 6'3") and i know i wont fit on alot, im looking at a 06 Armada 43....if anyone can help me out or maybe hook me up with a sweet deal it would be great, ive just spent too much money on wood decks and i would like to keep a board longer than 3 months.....

thanks

I feel the same way. I have bought a lot of wood boards and have them delaminate or break. I bought a Hyperlite Byerly and it is a good board but it does not have as much pop as a wood board. It has lasted me along time and has not broken. If you have the money you should get a Integrity. Laughing

I also have an 05 Karma and it has more pop than the byerly but I dont care for Hyperlite much either. I also have a 05 LF Faction and I sanded the bottom and fiberglassed the bottom of it. It weighes a little bit more but it spins faster. I can land me 3 shoves easily on it.
