Out of all the companies who do you think has the best pro wake team judging by competition, style and personality?

style is hands down the LF team

forsure style goes to LF

Style goes to LF, Personality goes to Hype/Byerly, and comps Ron1x all the way.

I would say Hyperlite or LF has the best overall teams. The two best contest riders are on Ronix, Parks and Danny.

are you talking about board,boats or appeal? because you could have team liquid force,team fox or even team malibu?

Reef...

I would give style to team LF, up and comers to the CWB crew. They seem to get exposure for some younger and more unknown riders.

vote number 4 for LFs style..

Now Now, eveybody knows that the O'brien team is the best around!}

The Fox wake team has it covered....talented vets and the best up and comers around.

Hype, O'Brien, and Ronix are all pretty even now for contest ability. <BR> <BR>O'Brien: Watkins, Sanders, and Dallas. Daniel and Josh both give Harf and Parks a run for their money. In 2006 they ruled. <BR> <BR>Hype: Rusty (Nothing more to say) Also JD, Rathy, and Murray. Shaun has proven that he is still there to win. <BR> <BR>Ronix: Harf and Parks. Again...needs no explanation.

Shaun Murray brings more to the table than anyone. He may not have been on the poduim alot lately but he is so personable. I think he makes hyperlite's team the best.

i'm with sancho... style LF for sure, Personality HYPE, and comps RONIX

Ronix for comps, Lf style, Hyperlite/Byerly attitude.

There is no one better who best represents the sport than Shaun Murray.

Team Hydroslide! <BR> <BR>HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

No one mentioning CWB? <BR> <BR>Andrew Adkison?

the Monster team <BR> <BR>(Harf, Shane, Watkins, Marquardt, Watson)

Oakley team... <BR> <BR>Lyman, Adkison, Rathy, Blodget, Amber Wing, Dallas Friday, Meagan Mcneil

Gator

ok, ok, lets think this one out if we are speaking of board teams i am sticking with my original. But if its just a team. Style is LF, contest would be Monster, Personality goes to Oakley

don't forget about Malibu- Grubb, friday, sharpe, lyman, nunn, ... I'm sure I'm missing others

Actually, Shaun just took a podium spot. Big props for the old guys!!

my vote goes to hyperlite

Bess Marina you missed Randy Harris for malibu. and the wakeboard camps team has style- Ben Greenwood, Keith Lyman, Amber Wing, Bo Burton, Mehgan McNeil, and for wakeskating theres Aaron Reed and Danny Hampson. DVSs team has style too

my vote goes to hyperlite aswell

Personality... i would have to say hands down CWB...

blair what has happened to you lol but seriously....ronix...small team but all have had huge impacts on the industry

if your going to talk about boat companies... <BR> <BR>Mastercraft- shane, parks, andrew adkison, rusty... Style, Contests, Personality

MasterCraft like he said ^^^ <BR>all those riders plus Zane that has more experience and knowledge about the sport than most, gives you a very well rounded and talented team.

Uhhh Mastercraft???, CC has Murray, Byerly, Harf, Watson, Webb, Soven. No style, no contest or no personality there....<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0>

Uhhh didnt say anything bad about CC riders there... Phil, just what I thought about MC's team. CC's team riders are all cool guys although Soven is a ****, the rest of the team is top notch.

Fox by far! Harf, Parks, Murray, Rusty, Dallas and the list goes on.

soven rides for malibu

It would be cool if they had team competition on the tour. Each board company could have 4 or 5 pro men, 1 Jr men and 1 pro woman. Or use your whole A team and take the top 5 scores. Except Pro men should count for more than Jr Men. First place in Jr men should not be as much as first place in Pro Men, so maybe they get 1/2 points.

I think a MFG competition would be awesome. Boards or Boats or both would be cool. <BR>Pro and otherwise.

Kind of like the team challenge back in the day. Didn't WakeMag put that on? I remember it as one of the first "freeride" comps to come around.

its hard to match LF's style, with shane's rail technique, lyman's general hugeness, an soven s technical laundry list of tricks. <BR> <BR>ive met webb, rathy, and murray and they are all class acts, so hyperlite takes personality, <BR> <BR>and Ronix takes the podiums definantly.

Maybe WW should put together such an event. What do you say Dave?

Come on Dave. Let's do it. Let's track the teams for the PWT. Board and boats. A rider can score points for both. Use the same points they get for placement- 100 for 1st, 90 for 2nd, etc. They are listed in the rule book on PWT site. Men only since women are only at 2 stops. Take the top 5 scores for each team. Track each stop and season totals. Think how much fun it would be watching the CWBs agonizing when Hyperlite Team beats them.

cwb, has a very young team...

So last week would have looked like this from the final 12 riders <BR> <BR>Hyperlite- 310 pts <BR>Murray-85 <BR>Malinoski-80 <BR>Hair-75 <BR>Webb-70 <BR> <BR>Liquid Force- 240 points <BR>Soven-100 <BR>Bonifay-70 <BR>Watson-70 <BR> <BR>CWB- 150 points <BR>Hanson- 75 <BR>Adkinson-75 <BR> <BR>Ronix- 90 <BR>Errington-90 points <BR> <BR>Just an example. You would go back and take 5 riders scores from each team. Would you count Hair? He rides Hyperlite but I don't think he is on the national team.

<b>Quote</b>: although Soven is a **** <BR> <BR>Just wondering how come a lot of people seem to dislike Phillip Soven. I have only seen him ride so I have never even heard him speak, so just wondering if i missed something. <BR> <BR>p.s.: how do you quote someone properly

yea please explain to me why you don't like soven...he is my pick for the next person to pull a ten.

Fox Riders co. has the strongest wake team. Murray, Friday, Harf, Malinoski, etc.

Double Up 1996!

Also on the Hyperlite National team,, jacob valdez with 100 more points for HO! <BR> <BR>I also am partial to the Quiksilver team of Ben Greenwood, Colin Harrington, Jeff House and Jacob Valdez, and the newest member, Vandall, pretty good team!!

I meant Hair wasn't on A team not national. I only included pros cause we were talking about pro tour and only pros ride there. Jacob did smoke the boy's division. <BR> <BR>I also made a mistake in the calculations. Bonifay, Watson and Webb only scored 51 points for 9th place, I gave them 6th place points. That gives Hyperlite 291 and LF 202. Watkins scored 75 for OBrien.

Hyperlite

sorry roger, I was still on the wake games scores, my bad!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/kiss.gif" border=0>

Car Ramrod.. For Sure

Hyperlite's up and comers are going to be amazing with Valdez and Jimmy LaRiche. Jimmy next to Rusty just might be the most talented rider on hyperlite's team. On the cable side of things, Hyperlite just picked up Marc Schuster (local Rixen Rider) and he is arguably one of the best cable riders in the world right now and is only 17. Remember folks, Rixen is where Jimmy learned all of his skills, and once Marc starts getting behnid a boat, Hyperlite is going to have another unbeatable boat rider. Adam Errington is going to be Ronix's star. The cable is going to bring out a new flock of awesome riders because the kids become so diverse, they have no switch or regular. I got serious into the cable my freshman year in college when i was away from home and had no boat to ride behind down here in south florida and have watched all of these kids develop into amazing wakeboarders. The crazy thing is that these young kids have only been riding for 3 or 4 years and got as good as they have. If i remember correctly, Jimmy rode his first Jr. mens contest only 6 months after riding boat. Everyone should check out <a href="http://www.trufei.com" target="_blank">www.trufei.com</a> They have some awesome cable and boat vids of these kids and you guys will really be amazed!!

I thought Jimmy road with Ferarro?

he does, but he is from west palm, ferraro on the weekends

Hey Billy, <BR>If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. <BR> <BR>"choose to be optimistic, it feels better." - Dali Lama

I dont know about that, Jimmy LaRiche being behind Rusty in the second spot, when you have Murray and J.D. on the Hype team as well.

Jeff, I was thinking the same thing, but I have to say Jimmy was scary good at Wake Games last week.

That was a little over the top but that just a little home cookin.

I hear you Randy, Jimmy can ride, no doubt about that.

Compared to the other riders, Soven is very cocky and big headed in my opinion. Although he is very talented.

Ryan needs to set the crack pipe down this thread is great.

My vote is for Fox and Mastercraft
