well we all know that CWB makes the best boards and bindings, and Mastercraft makes the best boat, but I'll let someone else finish the rest

CWB?? I've heard of like hyperlite and liquid force, and thought hyperlite was the best?? Mastercraft's are better than malibu's? Bro im telling you, im a kook to wakeboarding. surfing is a different story though! i can tell you anything and everything about surfing..i competed in texas and travel the world in search of perfect waves. costa rica, el salvador, mexico, cali, panama, east coast of florida, etc.. im also one of the best surf forecasters on this texas coast, so if anybody needs any advice on when to go and where, im your man to ask. surfing, skating, wakeboarding, etc... as long as i can boost an air, im there!!!

The answer about best *insert piece of gear here* comes down to you. What you look for in your product defines what is best for you. Some will tell you one is best because they've become jaded over service or quality of a product while the next person uses the same product and has great service and quality. So "best" is all in the personal opinion of each of us. Regardless of what's best, welcome to the world of wakeboarding! It's a unique community that shares landlocked love from coast to coast. I've been fortunate enough to have travelled from Canada a few times into North/Central California to meet many of these great people! You see posts all the time about people taking road trips cross country, cross continent, or to a destination and they have brothers and sisters helping them out and hooking them up with pulls.

whats up bro. i'm up in Tyler. there's not too many riders on here from Tx so I thought I would drop a line. We ride a couple times a week if you ever get up this way. Shoot me a PM on here (click on name for profile, see bottom off page) if you get a chance to come up a ride. gear, boats, vests: you will find people that both love and hate companies for different reasons. you can get a good idea from other people experiences, but you have to decide for yourself, so keep on open mind. Personally: Mastercraft, liquid force, jetpilot. have fun man

yeah. Don's lake is the SETx Wakeboard Lake so if you hear of a tournament over there you should go check it out. and i would invite you to come ride in Lake Charles with us, but we're leaving for school in a week, so i wont be riding much next week.

stoked, demo everything, board, boat, bindings, don't buy anything which you don't know how it will perform. since you surf, get an inboard boat because you might eventually want to surf behind your boat
