ridden hyperlite for a long time. I am not too pleased with my current ride 06 murray way to slow. Anyway I have noticed that liquid force is much lighter board. I don't have a local dealer so can you guys offer some input on how their most popular boards ride? <BR>Thanks in advance.

I have just tried my new Lyman 139 and was pretty impressed. I rode it without the removable fins and still it held a solid edge while being loose when flat. It also pops really well and lands smooth. Even though it was my first day, I felt like I have been riding this board for the past two years.

Tony Finn founder of LF invented wakeboarding with the Skurfer. They have always been great boards IMO. I have ridden them since LF's first board, the Free 135. I have been able to demo boards through my local shop for $40 a weekend. This is really the only way to buy a board if you really want the right one. Try every board you can. I used to ride the original Trip 132 and upgraded last year to a Watson 134 after riding almost their entire pro lineup. When you ride the right one you'll know. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakemikey on May 05, 2008)

I don't have a local dealer, so I can't demo. So basically I am looking for subjective feedback. Thanks for the help cyprus. Also, I am familar with Hyperlite so if you can compare ride to hl that would help as well

well if you want something fast, LYYYMMAAANNN !!!!!!!! <BR> <BR> <BR>or the Axis, they both get the job done well, however the Lyman is perfect in every way

does the lymann have consistent pop?

At our shop you can demo for free. If you are interested in a road trip, I can meet you at the lake with several boards. The Lyman is very popular this summer, as well as the Watson &amp; PS3. The Vantage bindings are incredible!

hey greg that is a posibility

I just got the Lyman and vantage bindings, going out this friday to try them!

WATSON

you mentioned you're on an 06' Murray? Have you looked at the new Hype line?

true however, some boards are easier to get consistent pop just as some wakes are easier, unless of course you have perfect form.

Also, wake consistency probably plays a huge role in how you feel about boards...sometimes, I'll try a board out in a bit of wind, and absolutely hate it, but then in glass, I love it. Some boards just seem to handle chop a bit better, regardless of how small it is.
