HL Broadcast or LF SkimSkate?

I currently have a Landlock and I want something that spins easier. I’ve heard good things about both of these boards. Has anyone ridden both? What were your impressions?

Why limit yourself to those two? There are plenty of other boards available: Inland Surfer, Phase 5, Trick Boardz, etc.

Have you replace the fins on the Landlock with some premier fins? It'll spin a lot easier without those huge fins on it.

Bill J, Do you have more information or a link to exactly which fins you are talking about? I have a landlock and have been enjoying the stock fins but might like to try some smaller/looser fins.

Bill J has a point on boards other than HL. I have both the Landlock and the Broadcast. The Landlock is stable...you can ride it standing on your head. The Broadcast is loose and is great for tricks.
I have to share this vid of the best wakesurfer in the world ripping it up on a Phase 5. After entering the site, scroll down to the left and watch the video. http://www.420production.com/

Sorry, I haven't done it but have read on here about people just swapping out the stock fins with the fins from a Premier - apparently the are the exact same hole pattern.

Hopefully someone that has tried it will post with complete info.

The premier fins are the same as the fins on the Parks board, just not aluminum.

I've tried the Landlock with Byerly fins on it. Can't remember the size right off, but they were pretty small (1.1"?). Spins super easy.
