There is no place to demo a wakeboard close to where I live, so I need some advise on the next board to buy. Any help is much appreciated. Here is my situation: I am currently riding a 2005 Liquid Force Team 139. I have tried many other boards, but I love the speed and tracking of this board. This would be my perfect board, but the landings are too hard for my knees and the pop seems to be more distance rather than height. I recently bought a 2006 Liquid Force Shane 140. This board is killer at surface tricks, the landings are freaking perfect (pillow soft) and the board seems to slide out on sketchy lands – zero face plants the entire session. But the Shane felt really slow, even when I cranked it, parallel to the water. What I would like is a combination of the two a lighting fast board with tight tracking, straight up pop and pillow soft landings. I have been looking at the Liquid Force Watson and the Fish??? Stats: Intermediate Rider Weight: 210 Height: 5’10” Boat: I/O – mellow wake, but decent when weighted.
