Sup, I have been riding an intermediate board for a while now and i can do all intermediate tricks plus more. But like on my backroll and stuff im not getting as much pop and it seems like the board is holding me bac}k. So my question is if i were to buy and advanced board about how much difference would it make?}

what board are you riding now?

There is no such thing as a miracle board. No board can make up for technique. But yes, some boards ride totally different from others. Do you just want a board with more pop? Do you need speed? You want a vertical board or a flats board?

I am riding a neptune it is a blunt board with plush pro bindings,it is a older board. I am lookin for more pop and also verticle. I have the speed and the flat. THanks for the post i would appreciate it if u would keep responding.

Well actually pretty much any new board you get will be an improvement over the old Nep. I ride a CWB Transcend. It is a very explosive board with great vert pop but it is pretty slow. Another great popping board from CWB is the Absolute. It isnt as much of a vertical board as the Transcend, but it is pretty fast. Both boards have super smooth landings. Also look at the Liquid Force Substance. And get you a nice pair of Liquid Force bindings. I ride Transit's and would highly reccomend them.

Ight man thanks! I have been lookin at a liquid force. One more question for you. I am 6ft. tall and about 180 lbs. ABout what length and width of a bored would be good for someone my size?

Im 5'10 and 175 and I ride a 142 Transcend. I wouldnt go smaller than 140. 142 Transcend, 141 Absolute or 142 Substance. That is what I would go with. Larger boards offer more water displacement, which gives more pop over the same board in a smaller size. I just like the way a larger board feels.

Ight thanks! I have been riding that neptune and it is a 133

im the same size as clay and i ride a Substance 138, i love it, and i love his board, if you want a good all around board the Substance 142 and Transcend 142 would be good, also check out the Hyperlight Premier 141, I rode it in rough water and still liked it so its gotta be great in good water.

ight thanks man i will check it out. where we ride there is hardly ever rough water we are usually the only boat on the lake so thanks for the info

bigger boards handle better in rough water<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

What if i am ridin in smooth water all the time cause i am. We have a lake to ourselves. Would a shorter board be better?

Nope
