At the end of last season I was cleaning out the garage. Come across my old Gator Prospect ( Kyle Rattray's pro model) . Was killing it right from the get go, So smooth and predictable. Other than the board being heavy it was awesome . Debating on whether going back to my Code 22 this summer. Even the graphics I feel are still workin. Rocking it with the Aj's and System Pro Bindings.
I picked up a slingshot for park trips and for the sake of my ageing knees but the old CWB transcend still gets plenty of action. Pure,3 stage pop never gets old.
Check out what I scored today at Play-it-Again-Sports. I wish I knew the story behind this board. It is super faded but otherwise flawless - not a scratch or ding on it anywhere and the edges are perfect. I'm wondering if it was on display somewhere in a sunny spot and not ridden. It came mounted with a pair of Belmont bindings XL that look to be brand new.
Can't wait to get a boat set and see how well the core has held up over time. I've been after one of these for years!
And while we are on the topic of relics, this is what I had been riding for boat most recently. For this model, the aluminum honeycomb cores actually didn't shave noticeable weight, but they are stiffer and buck even harder than the standard foam cores, and theoretically they shouldn't degrade or lose pop over time.

Those faded easily. Great board, one of the best 3 stagers, will buck big time, really locks in.
I still ride my Liquid Force Axis 143. The younger guys I ride with never even heard of this board but it is an awesome board and one of the best made by LF.
