Anyone have a Hyperlite Broadcast, or CWB Ride they'd like to sell? If so, please shoot me a PM or email. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by waterskirebel on July 14, 2008)

What size broadcast? A friend may one for sale. Mine was for sale. But it took a newbie ride into the transom, so I'll be doing some repair to the nose. Otherwise I would probably sell, but they are also a great board to have in your quiver for those just learning as well as just to have fun on. The broadcast can be a sluggish board, regardless of your wake. <BR> <BR>I haven't had a chance to try thr Ride yet, but have heard it is a pretty good board. Not too sure of the skill level it would fall under.

I've got a brand new, still in the packaging, 5'6" Broadcast for sale. $275 plus shipping from BC, Canada. <a href="mailto:ahastie@hotmail.com">ahastie@hotmail. com</a> I'm on the road until mid next week if you want pics, I can get them to you then.

TXSurf - I was hoping for a 5'6" broadcast, which one does your friend have? Which one do you have? Is it usable with the damage? I am looking to save some money. We are just starting out, and don't have a large wake (due to the lake we go to). <BR> <BR>Flyguy - I was hoping to find a used one and save some $$ <BR> <BR>thanks!

I agree with TXSurf said. Broadcast is sluggish and I have a big wave, although small 4.9 board. <BR> <BR>CWB Ride was so much better. <BR> <BR>Haven't ridden the longer broadcast.

I just got done demoing the 08 Broadcast 5'6" and last weekend the 08 Landlock 5'11". <BR> <BR>I am 5'7" 165lbs, another rider was 5'10" <BR>200lbs. <BR> <BR>Boat is 87 Supra Sunsport DD with ~1200lbs total weight. Waist high clean wave. <BR> <BR>The Landlock has big thick rails and is very bouyant. Pretty fast ride and shape looks different than older models. Very stable, not spinnable. I could ride easily all day. Other rider could find pockey fairly easy and drop handle for a minute or so at a time. <BR> <BR>The Broadcast is a thin board that can fit in a standard boardrack. The middle of the board is real wide and although you can sink the tip it recovers fairly well. The fins are smaller and I found it to be a very slippery board when turning. It tends to just fly out the heelside if you're not careful. This board also accellerated well. I could ride it all day. Bigger buddies also had success on it. We were able to 180 with a rope. <BR> <BR>Both are pretty fun boards. My bigger buddy liked the Landlock. I didn't especially care for either although there was nothing wrong with them. Good for big guys or learners. <BR> <BR>We got lots of (smaller) people to learn to drop handle right away. Bigger guys w/o experience also got up really easy (easier than on a wakeboard) and had a great time trying to get in the pocket. <BR> <BR>These boards (especially older models) are all over craigslist. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakemikey on July 15, 2008)

wakemikey - do you have a good way to search craigslist nation wide? I havn't had much luck finding either used. I also live in Colorado. <BR> <BR>We are all pretty small, all under 185 pounds, but our wake isn't that big. Our lake is only 3-5 feet deep.

Ohhh.. That lake is going to be a problem.

not really i guess...gotta use the right search terms. wakesurf, wake surf, surf board, landlock, broadcast, inland surfer, they go a lot on ebay and WW too... <BR> <BR>What kinda boat are you using?

I had someone bring some bags on my boat, and we were able to get a small wake going. We don't have many lakes around here, so I don't have much of a choice, either go to a crazy lake, with tons of chop, or a semi-private one, that isn't very deep.

Have you thought about a longboard in that shallow lake? You could noseride on a small wake or even mush - just like in the ocean, small waves - break out a longboard or funboard. This is a decent wake, but we can ride this longboard/noserider in ankle high mush too and on a wake that is cleaner up to 16-18 mph. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/601932.jpg" alt="Upload">

I was originally looking at a Hyperlite Landlock, but was told it was too big and slow. Do you think it would be a better board for my scenario?

Red tide Inland Surfer. Great for me being 215lbs with a smaller wake.
