Tryin to get away from the whole hyperlite and liquid force thing to try something new. Ive got a parks 140, and am looking to go a little smaller on the board size. Which do you guys recommend, based on experience?

go to CWB... in my opinion there the best company out there.... awesome 07 stuff too!!!

Shameless Plug: I have 06 Ricky G Boards for $199 at <a href="http://www.DWCBoardShop.com" target="_blank">www.DWCBoardShop.com</a>. I also have a few 06 CWB's.

I have a 138 krown elite for sale, not brotherhood graphic but the flame. I love the 142 elite shape.

i have an 05 gonzales and love it. will be upgrading to another gonzales shortly

Go with CWB, the 07 lineup is so siiick!!

get the gonzales. I love that board to death, by far the best board i have ever rode.

I ride the Gonzalez and love it, by far my fav board. Demo some new boards if possible, see what you like. It would suck to spend money on a new setup and not like its style..... <BR> <BR> <BR> Im selling my 2006 Gonzalez 138 with 2006 Murray Closed Toe Boots size M if your interested. (Bad ass looking setup) Ill post pics in the for sale section tomorrow.

I demoed a Gonzalez and thought it was a great board. Gatorboards is a great company too. <BR> <BR>Can't comment on the Krown though.

Shamless Plug Also: THEBOARDSHACK.COM currently has a Gonzalez 138 and Krown Brotherhood on 2006 CLOSEOUT! check out <a href="http://www.THEBOARDSHACK.com" target="_blank">www.THEBOARDSHACK.com</a> or on ebay <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/The-Board-Shack" target="_blank">http://stores.ebay.com/The-Board-Shack</a>

^^^Shameless Plug Support^^^ <BR> <BR>The Gonzalez I demoed was actually through The Board Shack. They are awesome guys and you can feel good knowing your cash is going to a great board company and a great board shop, who will really go that extra little bit to make sure you're satisfied.

hmm..199 compared to 320?

I ride the Krown Brotherhood. The elite shape. <BR> <BR> <BR>It is most like your Parks. <BR> <BR> <BR>Great board and very wide. <BR> <BR>It makes everything very easy to land! <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Danny T. <BR><a href="http://www.OKCBoardShop.com" target="_blank">www.OKCBoardShop.com</a> <BR><a href="http://www.WakeboardOklahoma.com" target="_blank">www.WakeboardOklahoma.com</a>

i ride the gonzalez 138 coming from an 04 absolute platnium. i think the board is faster and pops harder than my absolute did. the landings are a little harder but not enough to matter, but both boards track very similiar

I rode a Krown Flame last year and liked it alot untill I snapped the binding inserts out of it. I picked it up off of eBay so Krown wouldn't warranty it, It was a good shape though.

I have both boards except my Brotherhood is a 142. The Brotherhood is a bit slower and has a late release compared to the Gonzalez, and I have .5 fins instead of like monster like 1.3s it comes with. Either board is awesome, but I really like the brotherhood.

It always amazes me how a thread starts out with two SPECIFIC possibilities to give feedback on and then some goofballs chime in and try to push a completely different brand. So predictable and <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lame.gif" border=0>/(lame)! <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wake upppp on December 10, 2006)
