If im not mistaken the dealership just started carrying them and didn't have all sorts. Or might of sold it. Id love to see how they stack up against my chaos. Micah, what do you ride behind?

Yes...had an old broadcast way back when and didn't have much weight in the boat and tried to list it...probably 05-06. Didn't surf again until this summer. Had 450's in the rear and got a shaper and couldn't surf a newer broadcast (probably 5 years old). No matter how hard I pumped it I would just fall out the back of the wave. Then purchased a Slingshot Gnarwhal 4'10. Much thicker than the broadcast but shorter. Probably near the same amount of volume. Sunk that board as well. Keep in mind this is with a few people in the boat 450's in the lockers and stock mls in the ski locker, so not a ton of weight. Was really disappointed with the slingshot
..it was such a rad looking board but for my weight and wake it just wasn't working. So I returned it and got the Neo. Went from 19L of Volume to 31L...wow what a difference. Board floats me, is fast, and can ride ropeless across the lake if I want. Traded in my 450's for 850's and now I am loving surfing...can't imagine what the newer boat wakes are like.
