Finally got around to taking pictures. FWIW if anyone is having issues with your laces slipping out the shoe lace trick works great. Thanks to the guys at McCormicks for the advice.

Got some of my 2010 order in. Here's a pic from today out at the System 2.0 at TXMC Wake Park. 2010 LF Watson Hybrid 139 with 2010 Watson CT LTD bindings. The bindings are pretty sick with the speed lace system and are very comfortable. The other board is a 2009 LF Witness Grind with 2009 Watson CT LTD bindings. Both sick setups for the cable.

Hunter, I haven't ridden it behind the boat yet since I just got my order in on Friday from LF, but I will be later this week. I have talked to some of the guys I ride with who have taken a boat set on it already and have said that it is surprisingly good behind the boat and that it isn't too flexy. I know there are some guys on WakeWorld that have been using it exclusively behind the boat and have been loving it. I'll let you know once I do ride it, but I know that it is much faster than the Witness and lands softer off the kickers.

And the speed zone on the Watson LTDs is awesome. Licensed from Burton's boots and very easy to use. Would recommend to anyone.

Severance 142/CWB Faction
It's taken me more than a half dozen tries at new setups to find one that I liked more than my Militant, but this is the one. About a dozen sets on it so far, hated the boots at first, but they've been better every set, loving them now.
Also finding it strange to be all in, instead of all out. I'm 5'11, and a 24" stance is about my limit, a bunch of boards I had before were 24" all out, this severance is 23" all in. It was weird to look at those extra holes, but it's paid off on the water for sure.

Thanks Ray, riding Alex's recoil last fall sold me on flex boards. Hit me up if you want to get out on Clear lake, we've been going whenever the weather allows it

2010 Hyperlite BSide with Team boots
I jumped on this and loved it! I rode a Marek last year (which I really enjoyed) so it was a little different but after that first set everything just felt really good.

2010 ronix relik reflectos and 09 sine- about to order a new board though because the SINE is just not for me, just not good for the cable with such a big spine.

John, love that Watson hybrid. I think that's what I'm leaning towards for the cable. I know you are mainly a cable rider, how do you like it on the rails and how are the landings off the kicker. I'm dealing with two pretty bum knees and need a board that is knee friendly  .

Kyle, its amazing. Coming off of a LTD Shane 134 its night and day. The board has great flex, and Im new to the sport and hadn't ridden a full rail until I rode this board. The grind base bottom slides fast and doesnt hang up on anything unlike my 09 shane. I HIGHLY recommend this board. I have owned an ibex, vault, watson reg, and shane, and this board BY FAR beats them all. PLUS everyone digs the OMG and color scheme lol. Hope that helps, I rode behind a supra the other night and it it rode like all of my other boards, the pop was consistent and the landings were soft.

I have the hybrid and am 50/50 on board/rail. If I was going to have a separate rail board I would go with something more flexible though especially if there are knees issue. I have a recoil that I love and is way more flex than the hybrid. So if you can afford two boards I would go SS or something. If you can only justify one board the Wats Hybrid is an awesome choice. Thats what I did.

yah there the same price, i dunno. I ride boat all the time and cable sometime so i dont need to be to speedy getting my boots on and off. My local boardshop is possbily getting a system 2.0 this spring so I thats why i bought the board.
I figured the older style laces would hold up a bit better, not really sure haha
The boots are super comfy and the lacing takes no time at all!

2010 Liquid Force Watson Hybrid Guys-
Do any of you guys ride that board exclusively behind the boat? I have been curious to try a hybrid/flex board, but I only ride behind the boat (no rails or sliders/cables).
I have also heard that the 2010 Watson (non-hybrid) is less forgiving and has to be ridden on edge. Can anyone comment on that? I love my 06 watson, but would like to get into a new setup!
Thanks

ALWake (Luker) is going to be your guy to talk about the Hybrid behind the boat. I think that's his main board behind the boat now.

Yeah man... I ride the Hybrid exclusively behind the boat.
My thoughts:
The board is nice and fast... way faster than the old Hype Premier and pretty similar to last years Ronix One (both boards I've ridden in the last two years)
Super fun because its a pretty loose board even with the bolt ons. One of the main reasons I went with this board is because after ACL surgery last year I rode nothing but rails/cable for 4 months (on a Henshaw Press) and when I strapped on a non-flex board it felt way too sticky and honestly kinda boring.
Pop is great and not once have I ever felt like the flex has "absorbed" any of the boot.
The board releases off the wake super early which takes a little getting used to but can be good for certain tricks.
The center of the board is pretty stiff so I honestly haven't really even noticed many of the flex characteristics while riding wake like I did the one or two times I rode my Press on the boat. Occasionally I'll take something a little too deep and tail heavy and the flex will cushion the landing a bit which is great, but other than that it feels like a regular board to me.
I rode Tevin's Hybrid at McCormicks and its super pressy on rails... which is evidence to me how big the difference in stiffness between the center of the board and the tip and tail really are.
Honestly I've had a lot of fun riding it on the boat and I've already stuck a few new tricks with it... not to say that the board is making some life altering difference in my riding or anything, but it absolutely has not hindered me in any way as some flex haters have led us to believe.
Don't go demo one unless you wanna buy it because its mad fun

Hey Im also considering either 2010 Watson or 2010 Watson Hybrid or 2010 Lyman. And I only ride exclusively behind the boat. I will be picking up the 2010 Watson CT Binding today to replace my 2008 Shane CT, but will still be using the 2008 Shane board for now.
So have you tried the regular 2010 Watson or Lyman? Any comparisons?
What do you think of the extra weight of the Watson Hybrid?
I have to say the graphics on the Hybrid is awesome!

James Bayliss, how do you like using the smaller slingshot 134 for your rail board? the past summer i was hitting some rails on my recoil 142. i'm 5' 11" 190lbs so for boat its great, but it just felt way to big and bulky for rail maneuverability and was thinking bout trying to pick up a smaller slingshot for rails specifically

Stoked on my new Byerly Conspiracy with Hyperlite Audio Boots for behind the boat. The board is sick.
I was interested in the new CWB Vide especially for winching. We will see how it goes. Looks like it will take a beating.

Zane,
I love it man, im about 5'10 160lbs so it is a bit small behind boat, but it works great for rails or winching! I just like the feel of a small board for rails, it is super quick to sping while getting onto or off of rails, plus these slingshot boards are tough as nails!

Alright, it might not be 2010 gear but whatever. '09 LF Trip and '09 Ronix Franks. I'm a cable guy so I really hope the trip dies so I can get a slingy or something with crazy flex.

No, I've never tried clear grip yet. There was so much detail on the top that I couldn't bring myself to cover it with black grip. I'll give the clear a tryout and see just how slick it feels. Worst case scenario, I can just pull off the clear and put on the factory-cut black grip.

i'm sure it's great! just got my 2010 Response last month and i love it! make sure you try riding with the fins off even just once, it's freakin' fun! it's so loose like you're on a wakeskate except more forgiving against the waves and such. congrats!

Jesse, I just ordered the exact same set-up yesterday (except I got the 143). Have you had the chance to ride it yet? Just looking for some feedback as I wait for my board and bindings to arrive.

Looks like a fun setup. Appreciate any feedback you have, but I guess I should have asked before I bought.
I didn't anticipate buying a new setup this summer, but I broke two pairs of bindings in the past week, so I ventured to buy some new bindings, and wound up getting a board also.
