Yep, once upon a time I thought that gator boards was lacking, purely based on perception and the word of others, but a few years ago I did some checking around after hearing that most of the wakeboard companies are a conglomerate (of course there are separate boards-but one parent company) and I was amazed. Gator really is a smaller rider owned company, and I tried one of their boards. Sold! Good solid board with good build quality, and great customer service, they are really tough boards too. I (and girl) have owned CWB, LF, HYP, and gator, and the other manf. do make good boards also... but I have seen the light--Gator makes a great product, and I like to support the little guys having been a smaller business owner myself. I try to dispel the very myth that I was a victim of when I get the chance, more people should check them out.
