funny you say that. i have an omega on sale on Ebay right now. Maybe i should just keep it and ride that for awhile. i really like the way the watson feels though. My biggest problem i'm having now is timing when to stand up when hitting the wake, and gaining the confidence (guts, nuts, etc) to go hard at the wake. I've got the whole progessive edge thing figured out. Intellectually i know what needs to be done (turn in slowly to the wake, gradually get on edge, edge hardest near the wake, stand up tall on ramp, keep rope near waist, etc, etc). Now it's just a matter of getting some muscle memory, timing and guts to bring it all together. I'm not sure switching to another board with make that any easier. I ride probably 3-5 times a week all summer, and plan to go late into the Fall (drysuit). I just need to get my big, uncoordinated body and mind to work together. Do you think changing to a different board would make that happen sooner? I've got a whole summer of experience on my Watson. Thanks for your help guys. John
