I bought this board after learning a few inverts and such. I previously rode a LF 134 rhythm board. So I thought this would be a good upgrade. Well If you haven’t ridden a 3 stage board this is most definitely different than a continuous rocker. After riding this board for about 3yrs I have to say it is slow!! I have actually started to ride my older board because it has way more speed when attacking the wake. ON this board many times I’ve gone to cut back at the wake and literally sunk in to the water. It may work if you have an awesome wake but I’m switching back to continuous rockers. DO ur research!!!!!

i bought this board 3 years ago and all i got to say is that this board attacks the wake unlike any other board i have ridden and i dont expect to ever ride a board as close as good as this one, this is a must buy for any wakeboarder

well first off, iv had this board for 3 years now and am still riding it, its taken some wear and tear but still performs as it did when i bought it 3 years ago (2003) i ride it now with the ’06 Era bindings (had ’02 parks boots)and plan on gettin the ’06 or wait for the ’07 parks, sweeeeeet ass ride

best board i have ever riden, cant complain, great for inverts and its has the most incredible amounts of speed approaching the wake and gives a massive massive pop. the only fault i could say would be that; its great board for spinning, but not excellent.

best pop off the wake. this board is super agressive and just the best thing that i have every been on.

LOVE this board! I tried out a couple of the other hyper products before this and this board is a lot more abrupt and takes a little longer to get used to, but when you do...watch out! It’s so quick to react and if you hit the wake RIGHT, the difference in the pop is uncomparable! LOVE IT!

i love this board!!!! i just got it and it has major pop off the wake.its hold on the edge more than any other board ive ever ridden

Reviewer: Remi Bojansky

This board is completely sick. I feel like I can scoop the wake and get incredible air. The board edges very well. Tilt your rear back a little bit and the board picks up awesome speed sends you flying out into the flats. Landings are very soft. I live on a lake with sea walls and sometimes the chop gets pretty bad but I still want to ride. No rough ride here. I’ve found my dream board in the Parks 138.

Ive never been on a slider with it im plannin on it this season. i got the board last season and i upgraded from one of teh old school hyperlites there is a big difference with teh 3 stage rocker, it gives it alot of pop. Its a really good boad i recomend it to anyone who is at least intermediat because it is a little bit squirely for some of my friends that arent very good.

Reviewer: ERIK Brakebill

02/20/2004 12:00am

this board is sweet because it is not super loose and he pop in ginormous because I went off a flat wake and it got me up there and if the 03 had the jib bse it would be sweet but it is a little heavy

Reviewer: Grant Townsend

Awesome Board. Huge step up from my 02` Byerly. Huge pop and soft landings.

Reviewer: chris pfeiffer

10/06/2003 12:00am

I bought this board before riding it and was unsure whether i made the right decision in buying it, but in the first 10 seconds of my 1st run w/ it, i knew i made a good choice. It feels loose when its not on edge, and when you are on edge, you can count on not slipping out. Everybody says to go down to the 1.1 inch fins, but i personally like the 1.3, not too grippy for me. I tried 3 tantrums in my run and landed every one of them. Before w/ my old hyperlite board, i would be inconsistent with the landings on a tantrum, but i was very surprised and excited with the way it was forgiving for my landings. Pop is very good and landings are great. Its not hard to break loose to do surface slides either. I love this board so much!

Reviewer: wes g

08/09/2003 12:00am

Bucking pop, highest Ive been behind a boat. Also very soft landings. The only thing I diddn’t like was the diffuculty with surface tricks. Maybe smaller fins? This is probably going tobe my next purchase.

The HUGE table on this board makes it a bit squirly at times, but once it’s under you it’ll run with the best. Tends to get away on landings, but tracks like no other. Great board.

Reviewer: Roy Aydel

07/23/2003 12:00am

This thing hauls, brah! it’s got the biggest pop of anything but less release, it’s kinds sticky on the water so i shaved off a third of an inch but it was still rad. this is the best board i have ever riden and i think that it is the best ever manufactured. and I have riden almost every hyperlite, LF, cassette,CWB, and earthboard board that there is

Reviewer: Jordan Pujalet

07/21/2003 12:00am

I love this board, I just got it and im still getting used to it this board floats higher than any other board ive ridden. I learned on an old board with huge skegs and use to putting lots of effort into the surface spins so now ialways over spin, its an awesome board just got to get used to it.

Reviewer: Troy Seen

Reviewer: Cory Gamble

07/12/2003 12:00am

A great board, but not for the beginer. If you do decide on this board and your skill level isn’t up to par you might want to get smaller fins or grind the ones you have down a little.

Reviewer: Ian Boles

07/08/2003 12:00am

This board tracks beautifully. It holds a strong edge when you need it to, and breaks loose on the surface with the same enthusiasm. The landings are very stable but a little rigid due to the lack of flex. It gives all the pop you could ask for, given you can contol it.

Board pops like MAD, lands soft as Parkay, but watch out for the 1.3 inch fins, they will bite you !!!!! Recommended for the Advanced-Pro rider !!!!

This board has inherent pop. I’m not that experienced with different boards, but the Parks made me a better rider almost instantly.

Reviewer: scotty mckenna

07/07/2003 12:00am

not a begginers board! catches the edge and gives u a nice headache. But it is aggresive and quick so its good if u like an aggresive cut into the wake. very bumpy in the rough.

Reviewer: Cary .

Reviewer: charley Carvalho

06/23/2003 12:00am

great board. fast,loose when off edge, locked in on edge, big pop/ soft landings. now obn to buying one when i get teh cash

Reviewer: P K

06/04/2003 12:00am

I don’t know what rating spinning and inverts is all about, your board has nothing to do with it once you’re in the air, it’s how the board gets you there that counts, and the Parks is pretty damn good at it. Very quick into the turn & fast thru the wake, solid as a rock on edge. Beginners will have problems with the board washing-out in turns and into the wake because there is no center fin, but if you are an int/adv rider who has proper turning technique and knows how to use the rails and hold an edge then you will love this boards design.
3-stage makes for some serious kick. I’m glad 3-stage is becoming popular again. V-bottom and rocker lands nicely. 11 degree fins are hair ball on the leading edge of butterslides, so keep that leading edge up. Definately not for beginners. A good arrow for the quiver though if you are an advanced rider looking for a high energy ride.

Reviewer: matt c.

06/02/2003 12:00am

I would ride the board before you buy it for sure. It rides alot harder edge than any other board out there i suggest going to smaller fins on it too, b/c with the standard ones the board can tend to take you for a ride instead of you riding it.

Reviewer: Eric Bornowski

05/02/2003 12:00am

Great Board good on landings which is good for me (bad knees) great overall board

Reviewer: Adam Swing

04/28/2003 12:00am

The Board in general kicks ass. It cuts harder than any other board I’ve ridden and when it gets to the wake it wants to be in the air. It’s pretty light and is easy to pull or push one way or the other for spins and grabs and lands very smooth.

Reviewer: Kyle Cook

04/25/2003 12:00am

Reviewer: Tim B

04/23/2003 12:00am

Reviewer: WAKE BOARDER

02/02/2003 12:00am

The parks felt too locked in when approaching the wake and the angled fins felt like they caused the board to hook a little in the trough. The pop from this board is awesome and the landings are nice. I just didnt like the way the board released

Reviewer: Brett Perthuis

01/10/2003 12:00am

I ride behind a Mastercraft X-30 and the combination of the two is unbelievable. When you have a huge wake this board shines. If you’ve got a serious boat u need to demo this board. U won’t beleive it.

I went out last weekend and pulled of kbg’s a lot smoother than on my byerly and it has about the same pop but it has a differnt ride then any otha board i have ever ridden before. Its a very aggresive and fast response board that i like becuase i like to get where im goin fast
