Wood Skates

Hey. I've been riding a Catalyst 116, which I got on sale, for a while now but it just doesn't feel right. I'm considering trying out some wood skates, so I thought I would first see if anyone had any suggestions on good wood skates that are durable. I'm 6'2" and 175 lbs. just for reference. I think the 116 was too long in the first place. Thanks in advance for any help.

Quin, Check out Oak. www.oakwakeskates.com
great wood decks, good feel and very very durable.

there are others that I'm sure are great wood boards, but I only have experience with the Oaks.

I have the catalyst 112 as well bought a scape which broke first run and they gave me a catalyst which i thought was pretty cool. But I find it hard to ollie the scape felt better i could never ride the catalyst like grubb. The integrity that nick taylor ride looks good but is it just that he makes the board look good?
