I just started riding a friends wakeskate and now im going to buy one. Should i buy the CWB Deck 45 or the Hyperlite Scape? And do you prefer tape or foam? Im about 140- what size?

if you are 140 then you want a deck around 40 inches. hyperlite and cwb decks are way too big

what type board would you suggest then?

if you are looking for a flat deck, LF has the 40" Faction. Theres not many other companies still making flat decks though. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakemitch on June 01, 2008)

have you heard anything about the CWB base? is that going to be any good. and whats the difference with the flat deck?

I got a 2007 Hyperlite Catalyst on boardersbestbuy.com back in April for around $99. I love it! I had a Cassett wood deck before the Catalyst.

i am going to go with either the 2007 Hyperlite Catalyst or the CWB Deck 45. ive read the even though its a 45 its for all riders. is this true?

Don't get the 45, it will be too big, especially if you progress quickly. I have a Devotid flat deck (41) that I ride on a regular basis. I also have an ''05 Integrity that I love just as much. they are both lots of fun, and I can pull the same tricks on both. However, concave allows for a little more control and generally feels better under my feet IMO. Have fun

if you want to wakeboard without bindings get a 45" deck. <BR> <BR>if you want to wakeskate get a 40-42

its all about what you like and what fits your style
