Matt-Why would you buy a board you haven't even seen or ridden???? Makes absolutely no sense. Would you buy it cause it's Rusty's Pro Model?!?! Kinda like a lot of newbs buying Parks boards. DEMO DEMO DEMO. Then buy why waste money on a board you could possibly hate riding.

Tyler, maybe it's because he's a young and impressionable kid that looks up to Rusty and wants to support his wakeboard idol buy buying his pro model. According to your profile you have a Byerly board and coincidently Byerly is your favorite rider. Although I would never buy a board without demoing it (like you suggested) I do understand that some kids look up to pros so much that they don't care how it rides...they'll just deal with it, get used to it, or maybe love it.

Ben- I demo all my boards and I've been through the last 3 Byerly shapes and love them all(that said I have no reason to jutify my purchase to you). I however did not shout to the heavens that I was gonna buy one before even trying it. Maybe you're sore for buying a board without demoing but maybe I'll save young Matt a load of cash he could spend on a board he enjoys riding... not reading the name on.
Now... Do I really need to explain to you why Byerly is my favorite riders, not to mention one of the best, most innovative shapers(along with bouchard), and most influential and stylish riders of all time. I think not.

Or maybe Matt likes fast, continuous boards, and it's pretty much guaranteed Rusty is going to have a fast, continuous board.

It will just be a 3DS with a mod or two and a new name.

Hopefully it will land softer.

His Empire rode WAYYYYY better to me then the 3ds or TFD! I can't wait to see it.

That said, I've always ridden Sharpe's boards but really disliked the Covin.

Paul, what didn't you like about the Covin? I felt like it was very similar to the 3DS.

I rode it in some choppy water but still disliked it none the less. I would like to give it another try but it felt as though it rode way smaller, more like 134ish, and felt flat. I just didn't have a good feeling on it. That said, I thought the One was amazing!

The Empire rode worlds better then the 3DS to me and most would probably feel they ride alike.

I've bought a board without demoing when I first started riding remember the byerly can opener board. LOL. That board sucked. But I didn't know any better. I'm thinking about new bindings and will probably buy Murrays weather I demo or not.
