I'm getting ready to demo a couple new boards and wanted to get some thoughts on the 2006 Shane.

My buddy loves his. He went from a balance to the shane and it is just as fast but with more pop. <BR> <BR>Watch out for the cupped side fins though.......he severed his tendon and had to get surgery after grabbing the tail/tindy. Out for 2 months!

Thanks for the info. Fins can definitely bite you. I've ridden a Parks for a couple years now and have had a couple of bad gashes from its razor sharp aluminum fins.

Yet another reason to ride the ROAM!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

try the CWB absolute plat.. nothin is better

I rode the Absolute before I rode the Parks. Good board, but the Parks fit my style a little better at the time. I am now looking for a faster board with a softer landing. I do plan to demo the Transcend Platinum, but the Shane is of a similar design. I would like to hear the Pro's and Con's about this board from riders who have ridden one.

just got an 06 Shane 132 yesterday...I just got back from riding and I love it...fast board and very smooth landing...the fins are pretty sharp tho...I noticed that a couple of times on tailgrabs

Are these plastic fins or metal fins? I had to take a file to my Parks for the same reason.

Crob if you are going to demo a Trascend, then demo the 07 the 06 is not a fast board, more of a wake to wake board, but the 07 is a totally different ride.

how are you hitting the fins on a tail grab. i dont understand.

I used to have the shane till it broke! good riding board though...
