Help!
I've three day to make my choice.
I began wake last year, I'm a beginner. What do you think about the best board for me. I had a motive last year but it was difficult to have a good pop-up. Is it crazy to have a three-stage-rocker when I just learned to do 180?

Absolute!!!! by CWB. I liked the Motive a lot back in the day when it was the Belmont. A three stage will have more pop and you might not be ready for it but that all depends on you and your preferences.

I just started riding last year too, I ride the 03' Belmont but I demoed several three stage boards this year, the Substance worked best for me, tracks well and you can still break it loose for the surface stuff. It has a blended 3 stage so it made the transition from continuous rocker to 3 stage a little easier. It really just depends on what you are looking for in a board and what your individual style is. Demo, demo, demo...

Thank you, but in switzerland, it's very hard to demo. We are still not a lot to enjoy wakeboarding, so shops are prudents and dont order a lot of boards. If we don't buy it quickly in season, we don't have choice after...
I think I'm going to buy the team.

I didn't like the Team or Trip, too fast and too grippy with all those fins. you just learned a 180 so that means you will be going for a 3 next, basically all those fins make it that little bit harder to initiate your spins. If you're stuck between Hyperlite & Liquid Force simply because of availability I'd go the LF Evo, (a really fun board) and the hyperlite Era (a solid favorite). However look around for CWB, I feel that their Absolute is a perfect blend of what you are looking for, speed with a big pop, and still nice and loose when flat so you can play around and spin freely.

substance all the way. Everyone that has ridden mine loves it.

Challis - the Substance is not a blended 3-stage, it's a full 3-stage. you're thinking of the Balance.
