I'm currently a wakeboarder. I have wakeskated before on a Hyperlite 116 coast series (Ireland)I want to buy now. Is the wood ones better or the Hyperlite Brian Grub 116 fiberglass? Ore another brand? Not shure how the wood ones hold up in water. Please help I'm 6-3 200 lbs

The wood ones are more forgiving... and just feel much nicer to me as they are lower on the watter. Cassette , Liquid Force, Kampus are a few to check out

Integrity or Liberation.

I love them both, can ride them both but I love to ride the Liberation more.
