So I thought I wanted a 09 PS3 grind 137 but I recently changed my mind about that I'm looking for a board that respondes quick, has good pop, and soft landings. I ride mostly cable down in Tampa and have been thinking about slingshot but I don't know how durable they are. Anyone have any opinions?

Go slingshot reflex! <BR> <BR>Greta for rails, super durable base, ABS sidewalls, great board, great customer service!!

The new slingshot reflex is tough as nails and the flex is great on rails

Thanks <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> I heard there is a new slingshot coming out soon that is meant for cable anyone know anything about this? Also, should I pay the extra for the 09 reflex or is the 08 just as good?

jdwake1 12-12-2008 12:24 AM

Oh nevermind the Reflex is the new board isnt it? I can't find it on buywake anyone know where I can get one?

HYPERLITE B-SIDE HOMIE. BEST BOARD OUT THERE. SUPER RESPONSIVE, MASSIVE POP, SOLID ON RAILS.

jdwake1 12-12-2008 1:52 PM

Guess I got some demoing to do, I still can't find the reflex anywhere is it out yet?

wakerider111 12-12-2008 3:02 PM

i am pretty sure you can get one directly from the slingshotwake website?

I would check out what Company Wake is putting out as well, they are a flex style board too. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/650423.html?1228859227" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/650423.html?1228859227</a>

Check the Ronix Arcade by Bill i just got mine its insane graphics make it poke out like crazy. its quick on the water has clean pop and is a grind base. its a advanced board but with out that 500 dollar price tag you can pick one up for like 375...

Slingshot 12-12-2008 4:08 PM

Get a Slingshot Jon! If you like the Premier, you will love the Recoil! The landings are so soft and the pop is outta this world, and if you are hitting rails, flex is money! The Reflex is more designed for rails, but also kills it behind the boat. Check it out <a href="http://www.slingshotsports.com" target="_blank">www.slingshotsports.com</a>

B Side is sick on Rails! JD got rail rider of the year, but I imagine that would have happened on any board.

jdwake1 12-13-2008 10:04 AM

Ya the reflex is looking good thanks everyone for their input!!! I just can't find them for sale even the slinghsot site takes you to other sites and none of them carry it if anyone knows where I could get one I'd appreciate it!!!!

I think he means the board stands out

tazz3069 12-15-2008 7:55 PM

I do not mean to hijack this thread, but I am also in the same boat. I need to find a new board. I purchased a CWB Pure 140. I am not too happy with it. I might sell it. A friend of mine let me try his Hyperlite 3DS 139. It the Chad Sharp board. I really like that board. Well, they do not make that board any more. The board that I was looking at is the Pulse 139. I know it is a 2007 board, but it is still available. I think the Pulse and the 3DS are the same boards. Am I wrong?

chrism4668 12-15-2008 8:00 PM

they are identicle just changed the name when it changed from chads board to rustys board from wat i can see

tazz3069 12-15-2008 8:04 PM

what is the next board up from the Pulse? Would it be the Merak? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by tazz3069 on December 15, 2008)

chrism4668 12-15-2008 8:07 PM

Nick Davies is getting a pro model that will be the same shape as the 3ds/pulse will be marketed at cable riders. wont be out to next year

tazz3069 12-15-2008 8:11 PM

I am pretty much a beginner at wakeboarding. I felt really good and stable on the 3DS board. I think that I just might get the Pulse 139 <BR>Thanks for the input.

chrism4668 12-15-2008 8:13 PM

yeah as the pulse is an 08 model you should be able to get a good deal on it as the 09 gear is out good luck
