Team's faster, Substance has more pop. You'll get opinions both ways. I personally prefer the Substance. I'm kinda partial to molded fin boards though too.

I've never ridden the Team (and suck as a wakeboarder in general), but I bought the substance this summer and love it. I'd highly recommend it because it feels very stable and I'm getting on edge a lot easier with it (without faceplanting!). Um ... do I need to add myself to the haterlist now on the "pusher" thread?

i love the team...
it really depends on what you want. evan is right..the team is faster and the substance gets more pop. but the team has 6 fins which makes it track really well and has a continuous rocker..the substance has a 3-stage rocker.

...or if you want something crazy, try the Fish. That board is just WAY too much fun. I have a Substance, and it's a killer board as well, although it's not as fast as I'd like... I like my boards pretty fast.

I know it wasn't an option but you REALLY should try out the Watson!

I was going to get the substance but got the PS3 which I hear is similar. I love it and I ride it with out the center fins.

I used to ride the team, it was a good board too but it hurt my knees because you land way out in the flats.

I have both, I prefer the team.

Team is faster and I feel more controlled when turning to come back into the wake. I feel a more controlled edge up and through the wake. I also like the cupped fins, it fits my style.

Substance has an insane amount of pop, it feels like I am getting popped early compared to my Team. It also has a way loser feel and I have to really use my edge to keep it locked in.

If you're a big guy you might want the Team 143. It has more surface area than my old Balance 144 but not quite as fast. Haven't heard a bad thing about a Substance. I've tried the 142-fun ride but I like my Team better for my style.

which board has softer landings???

Jason,

the substance is a great board, but the landings are brutal. I switched to a Watson this summer and the spine down the middle gives great, supersoft, marshmellow, pillow, cloudlike landings.
