I'm about to purchase my first wakeskate. I only can spend about $100 on it, so that limits me to those two boards from buywake.com. Both would be 42 inches and both would have foam tops. <BR> <BR>Foam top is a must for me at this point. I know for a fact that I am going to smack my knee on the board about 700 times. Also, all of my friends are going to want to ride it as well and none of them will have shoes. <BR> <BR>So which is the better board, the scape or the faction? <BR> <BR>Thanks!

go with the faction, i haven't yet ridden the scape, but i've heard it sucks <BR> <BR>sorry this won't help much, just my opinion

I was liking the foam tape on the faction better.

does anyone have an opinion on either the catalyst 112 or the armada 41??????

I can get the Scape locally though for $100+tax instead of ordering it online for $100 +$12 shipping . No where around me carries LiquidForce.

i'd still go for the faction, <BR> <BR>and john smith, i just got a armada 41 and love it to death, if you love amazing pop and the best ride of your life, go with it
