thinking about a new board

[sandm]

I started on the standard hyperlite broadcast 5'6. still keep it around as it seems to be a good board to teach on. currently riding an inland surfer 4skim. yes, the hot pink one....
like the board, but thinking about getting a different board. kind of eyeing a phase5 drew daniels pro model...

anyone else riding this board?

[kaneboats]

Nope. But I just picked up the Broadcast as I'm a newbie and expect to use it to teach everybody all summer.

great board to learn on. I still ride it occasionally. feels like a cadillac compared to the 4skim. I have only had 2 out of the 12 or so people that I have taught to surf that have not been able to get up on the broadcast. pull the 2 outer fins off and it will become a little looser once you feel real comfortable with it.

Won't be this year; I have a lot of people to teach.

Man if you check out the latest Wakesurf Mag, there are just a ton of new board manufactures out there. You should dig a little more and maybe head off the beaten path a bit and see what you come up with. Just a suggestion.

Salty, wondering if your planning to hit the Atlanta Jam this summer at Lake Lanier?

[Sled491]

lakewakes wakesurfboards.
the moomba crew on this board will be able to ride them this year.

have fun picking one

Good for you Salty, I hope you get to be a Famous Board shaper, so I could say I knew you when!

send me some info. I have no issues trying "off the beaten path", just liked the shape of the phase5 products.

With both 4-skim and Phase5 being skim I don't think that they would be much different. I have a phase5, IS Blue, and HL Broadcast 4.9 and my next board will be TWP James Walker sig. It's a surf style and only picked it up and it's super light. Something different, although I haven't grown out of my Phase5. Demo before buying is always a good thing. I'm looking forward to boards I can try out at events this summer.

nice looking, and I love the color.
I got a lot of s--t for my pink inland surfer board, so I will def. be getting that color again..

have to wait until after the boat show out here march 25th before I start to shop(to get the wife in the mood to spend money again) so I'll check ya out as it gets closer...


4-6 weeks if you want a custom color???
