Ricky G. 138. Great pop, smooth landings.

*I also ride a Ricky, great board, only have one season on it, good speed, easy to control.

I have a Ricky G and Phantom (Caddy 135). I really like the Ricky G. It has a smooth pop and the landings are relativly soft. The Phantom seems to buck a little,but the landings aren't quite as soft.

I rode the Ricky G for a while. That mold has been around the block and through a few companies. It is one of the best out there in my opinion.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 03-25-2005, 9:38 PM

Right on. I've been riding Ricky G 142 W/ Nice bindings. I actually switched over from a substance.

We demoed out the caddy and its pretty sweet. It really lands alot sofer than most boards. I mean no board is really going to land real soft though, but it was hte softest I've ever road.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 03-30-2005, 7:50 AM

Did you guys see the new people GB signed?

Gerry Nunn, Ryan Doyle and a few other people.

(aaronlee13) · (aaronlee13) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 03-30-2005, 9:33 AM

I ride the 143 harris... awesome board, although it does seem to have hard landings

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 03-30-2005, 8:28 PM

How do you like that harris. I havn't spent much time on one yet.

(malibuboarder75)

The Harris looks crazy...I want to try one.

(balr54) · (balr54) **Join Date: May 2004** 03-31-2005, 10:27 AM

I haven't tried the 05 model yet, but I rode last years model and it is sick. Great pop, Makes you learn you edges and is very fast. I have also rode the caddy and rick g and can't complain.

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 03-31-2005, 10:35 AM

if you've ridden the thruster harris, or even the o'brien harris, you've ridden the gator harris.

if you've ridden the badass, you've ridden the gator mary jane.

if you've ridden the premier/era, you've ridden the gator gonzales.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 03-31-2005, 2:07 PM

I wonder if Gerry Nunn is going to have his own pro-model board. I bet his board will be super sweet!

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 03-31-2005, 2:11 PM

Did anybody else get the new wakeboarding magazine and see the big ad with Tim Kovacich and the GB wakeskates? Its pretty sweet. Im going to have to try one of those concave skates.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-01-2005, 9:30 PM

Has anybody had very much exsperience on a wakeskate?
I've just messed around on one. Which is better, the flats or the concaves?

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-01-2005, 9:31 PM

IMO The militant is there best shape.
Don't forget guys that Gator signed the best of the best, Keith Lidberg, who is now riding the militant.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-02-2005, 11:49 AM

I didn't know they signed him. He rode for double-up ,right?

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-02-2005, 9:01 PM

I cant wait to see the new promodels that will proably be coming out soon, because of all the new recruits.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-03-2005, 9:03 PM

Just heard about some new sponsors for Ricky G.

(gbphantom) · (gbphantom) **Join Date: Apr 2003** 04-04-2005, 3:27 PM

Who are these new sponsors?

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-04-2005, 7:17 PM

This is just a rumor, that he's switching boat companies.
This is just what I heard at the shop down the street when I went to pick some new stuff up.

I'd like to see GatorBoards get bumped up to the same status as LF or Hyper. kinda like CWB did in the past years.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-06-2005, 8:04 AM

How about Lidberg, is it really true they signed him on?
I just can't believe double-up would make such a stupid mistake by letting him go!

maybe if they start coming up and using their own designs, it'll happen. until then, it won't happen.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-06-2005, 1:12 PM

Their going to have to bring out some new molds for next year, just because of all of the new riders they signed on.

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 04-06-2005, 2:10 PM

that's cool. i'm curious to see their new design(s).

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-06-2005, 10:12 PM

Anything new would be awesome.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-06-2005, 10:25 PM

There is talk of new wakeskate designs for Ryan Doyle and Tim Kovaich and even bringing out a performance wake surfboard!

The guys here at the shop and me are going to go ride later at the local lake. Were going to demo out the new LF Fish and the GB Brisco and Militant.

(vertproductions)

GB is stepping things up like you wouldn't believe. If you all only new what was to come in the future. As for the unoriginal molds, what do you think the Militant is, the Gator, the RG is modified, the Brisco!! The team is in full effect and everybody is cool with each other. Lidberg kills it and he is GB. The wakeskate team is one of the best out there, and still growing. Just make sure that you all keep your eyes open for GB...

With Rob Hyatt and Gator at the helm, there will be some very innovative things coming from GB.

p/s as always Joe you are a plethora of information.

(cramey) · (cramey) **Join Date: Jun 2001** 04-07-2005, 5:39 PM

I met Rob Hyatt one time on the Delta with a fellow named.... He shaped the design for that company called Serum Boards, I wonder what that Robyn dude is these days...

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-07-2005, 6:08 PM

The fish was pretty cool guys.
I really liked how the Brisco was sticking and how much pop the militant actually had!

Sara Stone:
I rode the Lexy and Mary Jane and loved them. The Lexy felt extra smooth and stable, while the Mary Jane had better edging.

I'm going to try to check out a new pair of Nice PRS1s om the Vandall board tomarrow after work.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-08-2005, 8:30 AM

We went out this morning.

The Vandall seemed to be real loosewhile just riding. Real easy to spin. When you put it up on edge it was so stable though. Those molded in fins were pretty sweet.

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-08-2005, 8:10 PM

Dude the new Ryan Doyle model sounds like its coming along pretty sweet!
Its said to have a cartoon image of himself on it!
That roxs!

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-08-2005, 10:50 PM

Check out this bad boy!

It hasn't been ridin in 5 years. It just hangs on the wall and looks pretty.
Talk about an original mold!

Everybody else I talked to, said they had never tried it out.
