Not really sure which board would be best for me.

As of now I'm leaning towards the Hooke but not really sure, so a little insight would be helpful.

Thanks

Nick,

What do you ride? how do you ride? What skill level would you say you are?

Do you hit rails? Cable Park? Winch?

Have you rode flex board before?

I'm coming off the '09 Severence. Gonna be doing the majority of my riding behind the boat. I'd say I'm intermediate, basic inverts (backroll, frontroll, scarecrow, roll to revert) Huge pop and soft landings are the two main things I'm looking for which the Hooke seems to have but Id like to know more

You might really like the Newton actually.

Check out the video where Mikey talks about it more.

Its a continuous rocker which will be a more consistent pop of the wake and the landings will be soft.

The Ballistic line will be a tad bit stiffer then the Severance your used to riding.

How does the recoil add up compared to these?

The Recoil is still a great Wake 2 Wake board. It doesnt have the ballistic core so its a little softer then the ballistic line boards. It also doesnt have the molded in channels. It does have the slider base in case you want to hit rails.

Recoil is great behind the boat... love the pop and landings are soft. Doesn't feel too soft at all...
