There was the Byerly and the Byerly Blunt in 1998, so that should count, but if not the next year he had different sizes and graphics. So, Byerly Wake Tech 98-99. Boo Yah

my guess would by byerly and his 142 (I think--the OBT graphic) and his blunt 137, and I want to say that he did this in 98. But there were other companies that did this the same year, ie double up and full tilt (there may be more). Hyperlite had something like that going on in 1998 and 99 as well, but I don't think the other sizes were official "pro models." (that didn't seem to start until 2000)
anyway, that's my best guess.

hyperlite just had a different "pro" name for each size, then gave them the option to change the shape a bit, but only keep that size.
Fulltilt could be the only other possible answer.

Are you sure?
I remember Parks and Zanes board were connelly T2's
Parks had the white and orange 142 and I thought Zane had the white with the rainbow looking stripes up the center, also a 142.
Can't remember though so your probably right!

He's right. Parks had 137 and 142 and Zane 142 and 147. They were the same as the T2, you were pretty dead on with the graphics, Parks' was more red than orange.
Nick, wouldn't both Byerly and Parks/Zane be correct? Same year, two sizes for each. I WIN!!!

I WAS NOT SURE WHAT SIZES THE BYERLY BOARDS CAME IN. I THOUGHT THEY WERE THE SAME. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME EXACT BOARD SO I DIDN'T THINK THAT COUNTED.

Actually your only partially right. Greg Nelson had a pro model in 3 different sizes (132, 138, 144) that same year for Doubleup. The 3 sizes should trump both Parks and Zane http://www.wakeworld.com/boardguide/doubleup.asp And yes these boards were exactly the same only different sizes. Booyah! I had the first nelson pro in 97 and then i got the 144 in 98 and it is still my favorite board as far as graphics go.

it says it's a Nelson, but I am pretty sure the larger size was Igor's pro model. Greg's was the 38 with the sunken ship(I still have that one)
