I got the new board out tonight. The difference between my three boards, A Broadcast 5.6, Trick Boardz Mojo and The Red Tide is pretty huge.
My first to rides were pretty short, both times when I got close and was ready to throw the rope in the boat I buried the nose and the ride ended. My learning curve isn't completely flat, on the third try I stayed further back. It's definitely a bigger and slower turning board. I do like the checker board rubber foot padding.
I started riding at 10 mph. After I got the feel of the board I asked the driver to increase the speed, ending up at 14 mph! At high speed the board was a lot more fun for me.
The smaller of our two goofy riders had no trouble riding and thought the board was very stable. Our big guy has a goofy stance. While riding the regular-port wake heelside he was able to get the line to go slack. One the starboard-goofy side he didn't have very good success. We'll have to get him out more and see if he just needs more board time.
We had more than the rub rail in the water we had Centuriion in the water
