So was wondering what everyone's opinions are between the one and Watson

The One has prettier colours. Ask a more specific question about them.

What is the major differences between the two boards? What board has more speed and pop. I have an older Watson and have recently been riding a few year old Murray. I prefer to have a 3 stage rocker

Well, by pulling up the handy Wakeworld Gear page, I have access to two videos explaining all the features. The descriptions tell me that they have the same rocker height (although if I remember correctly, the Watson is a later kick, giving it more abrupt pop), with the Watson being a little wider. The One has fewer bottom features (the Watson has a center spine and some channels), and rounded edges in the middle, although it looks like they have tried to do something similar with the Watson this year.
So from what I've read, the One is faster, the Watson has more pop.

And here are the links to the gear guide:

Both super sick decks man i doubt you can really go wrong... I personally like the Watson better... However alot of my friends ride the one... They found with the .8 inch A wing fin that Hyperlite makes the board alot more lose and FUN!

Ben, thanks for being a cocky kid! I really appreciate all your help, I like the way that you assume that I have not performed any searches on the topic that I was asking. I'm sorry that I asked a question to get some advice, I will remember in the future to not ask questions, because there is always smart a** people on here. one day I will grow up an be as smart as you!

I asked the question because I'm between purchasing a Ronix one 142 sinter base or the Watson 139 limited that Performance is selling and was looking for some opinions.

maybe its just me, but i don't think ben was trying to be cocky. sometimes there have been people on these forums who are not aware of the descriptive videos available from the manufacturers. i don't think it was necessary to be so harsh

Sorry I made you upset, but when I see a question like that I assume you havent done any searches, because the info is out there and easy to find. Hopefully my answer did help you a bit, and I'll remember to leave your future questions to other people so I dont piss you off any more.

haha I would go with the watson I actually just bought one this week. @Ben I think the last statement "So from what I've read, the One is faster, the Watson has more pop." Could have been left out.

After reading my post I was too harsh and I'm sorry. I actually appreciate any information that is provided. I guess when I first read the review it seemed harsh. Thaks for all the help
