Hey All,

I got a question for you wakeworlder's. I've been riding the '04 Byerly since it came out (first year with the "bottle openers"). When I started it I was basically a beginner rider, I've improved quite a bit since then and noticed that when I charge the wake toeside it gives me a really inconsistent pop. Even when I keep the same form I still get bucked completely off balance sometimes. I've rode other boards and don't find the same inconsistency. Do you all experience similar issues?

That board is an Intermediate/Advanced board that seems some either love or hate the way it bucks. You might want to pick up an easier board to get your basics down better and them switch back. Byerly's boards are known for the buck at the wake and if your technique is not the best, it does not forgive.
