Does anyone ride this... I'm thinking about getting one just wondering if people like it <BR> <BR>I ride a byerly now, and have for years... is it similar?

I havn't ridden one, but from what i understand of it, it's made to have an EXPLOSIVE rocker, as it was basically a replacement for the Parks. From looking at the boardshop, i'd say that it probably rides pretty loose, and with all that surface area, i'd guess landings arn't too harsh, but i dont know about speed. Most of this is just speculation on my part.

i have one and i like it a lot... it's a really fun ride. like Ben said, it's supposed to replace the Parks board, but it's pretty different... much more predictable release off the wake. it rides pretty high in the water like an Era, but it edges like a freakin train, much like the Byerly. plus a huge width means you can ride a lil shorter board than usual which makes spins more fun <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>i would definitely suggest it
