Matt I don't know where you are at in this process, but I have a few ideas that are a little out of the box. I rode hyperlite boards for the better part of 7 years. Threw in a few liquid force riders here and there. Haven't ever tried Ronix or CWB though i know they are popular especially with those that are on here (not that I can blame them for liking them...everyone has nothing but praise for them). I would throw out that you check out Wakeology. New grassroots company. They have a better cable team than boat team, but those that ride the boards are loving it. My experience has been that if they have a rider in your area they will even hook up you with them to see the board and hear first hand from their riders what they like about the board and why they like it more than what they were on before. That being said I know they (many of the riders) are in Texas filming right now, but where do you live? Maybe you have one right there in your backyard. Shoot me a message and I will see if I can get you directly in contact with those guys. That is if you are interested. I know they were sporting a 2 board deal for $400 at one point. If you are not interested in that or that kind of board company I would say that you should demo as many boards as you can and then start looking for the best deal via here, craigslist, or e-bay. Good luck!
