2008 Gator Boards Prospect 141
New to Gator this year is the Prospect. The Prospect was designed to be one of our most technical boards to date. The board's attributes were designed by team rider Kyle Rattray, AKA pro wakeboard tour driver #2. Starting from the bottom up, this board has three base channels that flow from tip to tail and flatten out in the center of the board for better rail surface control. The center channel leading towards the tip or tail creates a fin like flute for more hold on landings. The cupped contourd fins and outer center channels create a better hold into the wake. The rail has a base bevel and an edge bevel in the center giving the rails a round like feel at the mid-section that leads to a sharper cupped rail towards the tip or tail. This will give you more control over your speed leading into the wake. The variable edge bevel also gives you a looser feel as you adjust your weight forward, but has more bite as you lean back and set your edge.
RIDER QUOTE: Kyle said, "I love the abrupt continuous rocker line of the Prospect! The board rides real fast into the wake like a traditional continuous board, but consistently explodes off the top of the wake like a three-stage board. I also love the sharp rails on the board. It allows you to sink your edge deep into the water and hold a hard edge all the way into the wake without the board slipping out. If you don't want crank into the wake, you can back off your edge and let the 0.9" molded fins do all the work. Wicked |

I have been riding on this board for 2 years now!!! I love it soo much. It is my favorite board I have ever riden on and I have riden on alot of wakeboards. I competed this august and got 1st place in the intermediate amatuer tour!!! :) This board is really good for inverts. I love how the board tracks becasue it can hold a strong edge or you can get a light edge depending on how you ride. This board offers huge pop and it is a smooth take off. The landing are pretty smooth but they are not the smoothest I have riden on. I would highly recomend it. No regrets what so ever!!!! :)

I love this board soo much. I demoed this board this summer hoping to demo the CWB Marius but they didn’t demo that board but they had the prospect. I decided to demo it and was so happy I demoed it. I just bought it the other day. I landed my first backroll with the board and it was much easier to land it than on my double up. The board has awsome tracking and huge pop. The landing are pretty good on the board but I don’t notice a big difference between board on their landing. If you are considering purchasing this board I highly recommend it!!!!
