any really.... the Murray is going to be the most consistant as its the only continuous rocker, regardless of how much rocker it actually has!

But if you can't, the Murray isn't a bad ride.

i wont go on a CWB board for the fact that i refuse to buy from my local cwb dealer....they are a scuba shop thats jumping on the wakeboarding bandwagon so theyr not really about the sport and dont know a thing......but i want a board w/ more hangtime...not just up and down like my byerly

Kellan, you wont buy a CWB for the fact that the shop in youre area is a scuba shop jumping on the wakeboard bandwagon? That dosent sound like a good reason to not buy IMO the best wakeboards on the market. At least they are getting into this great sport, and bringing in cwb is a smart move on their part because they will have youre area locked down as far as CWB goes. IMO there are alot of shops that are now jumpin on the wakeboarding bandwagon and that is good, not bad for our sport. At least now there is a place to buy the CWB product, that wasent availabe in youre area. Thats just my opinion my shop has sold wakeboards since the day we opened.

Yeah...because your a poser if you ride anything other than CWB right Jeff? Whatever.

dang, assault of the CWB reps, haha. I don't think there is anything wrong with his reasoning. I know I don't go to a particular local dealer because they'll blow you off if you're not shopping for a boat. I thought the Bonifay had more consistent pop, pretty abrupt. The Watson has a good deal of speed. Demo them before you buy one, there is more than meets the eye! haha.

Shawn, not at all. I see more post for CWB than any other brand, its not just me. I say dmeo all the boards. If you want my opinion, I say CWB all the way, but thats just my opinion.

(westcoastripper)

cwb for sure. marius, absolute, the transcend platinum.

Jeff - Sorry to call you out, but I'm sick and tired of all the brand bashing that’s been going on here lately. C.W.B. does indeed make a great product, and are pushing innovation, thank God. But so are the rest of the companies in their own ways, Hyperlite with ABS edges (that’s a great idea), their closed toed boots and the Roam (I know the roam idea and the closed toe boots have been done before, so save it), Liquid has been at the top of the binding game for that past couple years (except for maybe this year with hinge tech being released), O’Brien has been playing with Crook fins and different shape characteristics (such as the chevrons on the Natural), Gator and J-Star with flow-thru technology, I could go on and on.

Hyperlite and Liquid has been a top the top of the game for a long time now, and I think we owe it to them for bringing the sport to the state it's at today. On the other hand, I'm glad to see CWB, Gator, O’Brien and others have now been making the push and giving Hyperlite and Liquid something to think about. It doesn't mean one company is any better than the other, it just mean they are all trying to push the envelope in design and quality. It's just like us as the riders, pushing each other to be better, but on another scale, they are pushing each other to release better product, in turn to make us the riders, better.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that every company is good in their own way. So lets stop bashing the differences, and lets embrace them.

To make a long story short: CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG.

Sorry for the rant. :-)

Shawn, I totally agree with you man. There is alot of good wakeboard product out there right now, and its great for the sport. Hyperlite has been there from day one and they are still makin great product. Liquid force has great product as well as Gator and Jstars product is lookin good as well. I just think that the last two years CWB has had the best Boards on the market and I think for 06 CWB is going to be hudge with the new Hinge Tech bindings and the board linup. I dont bash other board companies just put out my opinion on what I like the best. Just my opinion.

honestly im just getting sick of every time asking a hype or a LF question i get....the absolute or the marius is better...its getting old...i know alot of ppl love them...but diff stroke for diff folks...

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 10-19-2005, 11:35 PM

boo hoo hooo. if it bothers you that much, simply move on. people are only telling you to be helpful. remember, hype and lf aren't the only board companies out there.

if you're gonna let stuff like this get to you, you need to stay away from message boards.

Just read the suggestions we made and move on to what you want to hear.There is no question on what you wanted people to say, it just did not end up the way you thought. Get over it we are. Go buy a Hyperlite or L.F. WE DONT CARE, JUST OUR SUGGESTIONS, DONT HAVE TO LISTEN TO US, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HURT OUR FEELINGS.

Billy - I don't think so, they have some new '06 models coming out such as the Natural.
