What ocean board shapes work well behind the boat?

Just curious, I don't have access to any, but I have seen the Retro Fish boards pop up in a few posts here and there. Any others that work well behind the boat? All the boards I have are skim-style (Phase 5) or otherwise (Hyperlite Landlock and TrickBoardz). One of these days, I will pick up a true surf style wakesurfer though.

I was looking at those earlier, they are out of my boarding budget for this year at least.

See if you can find a blackball beater:

Less that $300, softtop but this shape would work OK behind the boat.

Here is a video I shot of Gavin Sutherland testing the morey soft top they should work fine behind a boat http://www.surfline.com/video/video_player/video_player.cfm?id=2652&mv=loc

check out ebay, I got a really fun one off of there for $280. Just search for fish surf boards, there is a quad fin on as well right now.
