What's your all time favorite graphic on a board?
I was scrolling through the "Gear" section and just took a little trip down memory lane. Looking at some of the old boards I hadn't seen in years made my jaw drop.
My vote goes to the '99 LF Trip 132. Always loved that "...lost", funky, surf style art. LF Trip 132 What's your favorite? |
All the old Double Up's

Torrey, if you want more of that type of art, the artist is Drew Brophy...here is a link:
http://drewbrophy.com/ Also, I just got the chance to look at Son Duong's stuff at the recent Byerly visit to the Liquid Playground. He has some really cool stuff too, here is a link to what I could find about him through google: http://www.coroflot.com/public/indiv...set_id=229122& |

Always thought this one was awesome.

I like the elephant graphic on the back of the 1998 O'Brien Phatty.
|
I always liked the Krown graphics. Never owed one, but liked the way they looked. Maybe that is why they are out of business now?

I ALWAYS loved this! Clean and Classic.

Can't find a picture, but my favorite board has always been the Gator board that looked like a gatorade bottle on the bottom, but instead said "Gator". They didn't last long, for obvious reasons. I think this was around 2000-2002

That board was from 1996. Classic. My personal favorite was the 1998 Hyperlite Fluid (Murray's board with the foam core). |
YEA...THAT NELSON 138 WAS SWEET! HAD THAT BOARD. I
THIS WAS MY FIRST BRAND NEW BOARD I'D EVER BOUGHT....I THOUGHT IT LOOKED PRETTY KILLER. http://www.wakeworld.com/products/im...47_00cw585.jpg I LIKED MY FIRST PROJECT TOO. http://www.wakeworld.com/products/im...19_20_1039.jpg |

My favorite graphics ever - 2001 Byerly Board with the Mexican Wrestling scene on the bottom that includes flying soda, midgets, popcorn and chickens in the ring etc....
|
+1 on the 1998 138 Nelson Pro - I would happily trade anyone a new 2010 CWB deck in exchange. Must mint condition. Hell, I would take all three 132, 138, 144. Hit me caseyj@ridecwb.com
|
Thanks for that M-Dizzle. Also, if you go to the ...lost website, they have all the artists, board designs, etc.
Dan, the CWB Slayer, that's a classic. Correct me if I'm wrong but that was the first board with parallel edges, ya? I remember riding that thing at Lonestar Wakeboard Camp w/ Troy Navarro. Ahhh, memories... |

This has to be one of my favorites of all time. I am lucky enough to have two. One being an unreleased prototype.
|
DU Colin Wright Skull Tree
Byerly Soldiers I have both |
Nelsons graphics were always cool
|
i remember seeing the elephant phatty board when I bought my obrien buzz. I second the trip graphics as the most memorable
|
I thought the J-Star Lidberg board from a few years ago with all the multi coloured fish on the bottom was pretty sweet. Real clean on the top and bright as hell on the bottom.

+1 for the Lidberg, and also like the simple Jobe Cult this year. Not a hi-spec board, but the smoke effect is neat.

One of my favs, just because I rode it for so many years.
|
Of course I have the most rare one. Ha ha I am one of the D-up old school. Ron Depp gave them to me when he was cleaning out his garage. The one with the molded center fin has screw in inserts.

I second Eubanks. Love the look of the old Premier.

I seriously couldn't ever pick a favorite. I love that first trip, I wish I had a murray bug from 98 or a sea horse from 96...and I love all of the cassette graphics. and the original flight 69 is a pretty memorable graphic (slash favorite) for me also.
Here's a du graf I have. It was from my local shop that has since gone out of business, but it's a top sheet in a crappy wood frame. the photo is even crappier but whatever! |
