Worst FKN day of wakeboarding

STANG KILLA SS · Posted: Apr 26, 2008 2:15 pm Post subject: Worst FKN day of wakeboarding

well i shouldnt say worst, no body got hurt so thats good.

allitle background, been riding a shitty 99 obrien and wrap bindings since 99. well this winter my g/f got into wakeboarding so i decided to get serious as well and get some decent gear. researched a LOT. and started saving money. picked up a new in wraper '07 3DS 139 for $115 on ebay, and Ed at boardstop gave me a KILLER deal on some 07 LF fusion bindings(huge thanks) so i could afford to have some decent gear. all brand new. wow what a difference they made.

we were headed out to the lake in pop's fish and ski boat. boards laying on the floor like they always have for years.(has a 2' tall rail all the way around) well on the FM road my board decides to catch air and fly out the back of the boat. and does cartwheels down the chunky asphalt at 75mph. Sad

before finally slaming on the bindings and sliding the last 100 feet on the bindings. Crying or Very sad

absolutly destroying both.
board had 6 rides on it, bindings only two.
i dont think audrey had every seen such rage, and hurt in my eyes ever.
really sucks cause i take such good care, and had such pride in this fancy gear. and had really been amped about my improved riding all winter. now i have nothing, and no way can i afford to replace either. that board was perfect for me. just sucks cause my season is done. Sad

worst yet i missed the first warm/smooth day of the season.
just really a shitty day for me. Crying or Very sad

Wow, that really does suck. Sorry to hear about your board. Sad

Like you said though, at least no one got hurt. Imagine a wakeboard coming through your windshield at 75 mph.

As for a replacement, I'm confident that if you want it badly enough, you'll find a way to get another board.

Good luck. Cool

try sending a letter to wbm. if you're lucky, they will hook you up with some new gear if it's the letter of the month. sorry about your accident though. if that were me, i would literally cry Sad

holdsworth i was way too angry to cry.

Too angry to be sad? sounds like me when i got robbed at gunpoint standin by my mom as some sketchy kids stole about 2G's worth of me and my friends gear out of my truck and i couldnt do stuff. they reversed the whole lot and my stupid POS 4 banger couldn't catch em. If i had my bike then... have a feelin i would have had a long court case in front of me Twisted Evil

I mean i can deal with that stuff gettin jacked but the fact that my mom was by my side as two trashy kids just laughed pointin their stupid toy. I wanted to kill them for scarin my momma sooo bad Sad

oh and good luck gettin a new setup. ebay is u'r best friend. thats what i had to do to get by for a little while. post in classified on this site and say u'r stuff flew out of ur car and got smashed. See if anybody has extra boards lying around that they wouldnt mind gettin rid of. If i still had a few intact, i'd try and hook u up. but i just broke my last extra board Neutral

tg---what happened to ur malibu??

Chattwake · Posted: Apr 27, 2008 3:25 pm Post subject:

Long story short, I had some warranty problems with it, I started www.chattwake.com, Malibu wasn't real interested in putting me in an 08 for the site and Correct Craft was - ipso facto I'm picking up a new 230 on Friday.

stang killa--- i've got your hook up. i have a 138 parks & a 140 transcend (1st year) for ya. u can have whichever u want if u pay shipping. email me at wakeeater@mac.com if u are interested. oh, the parks is the '04 biolite.

tg--sorry to hear about malibu. you seemed pretty stoked about them. i'm sure the 'nauti is gonna be sweet. i rode in ryan's 210 a few times last season & he says the wake on the 230 is better. i've got a supra 21v & love the steep wakes!! what's the color scheme? hell, i need to start a website!! too bad moon beat me to it......

wake eater, Don't get me wrong, I loved my VLX. The boat was super roomy, had a great wake, and the fit and finish of the vinyl is awsome. My first thought was to get another VLX, but CC just worked harder for my business.

You really can't go wrong with either a VLX, an LSV, a 210 or a 230. Those are all awsome boats.

Wow. I have to give wake eater props here. Very generous thing to do. We need our rating system back so I can give that one a big star.

Ed, you need to send this guy a calendar or somethin!

wake eater · Soul Rider Joined: 04 Feb 2005 Posts: 272 City: knoxville

dude, i've got like 4 or 5 boards in my garage i've been trying to figure out what to do with, so this just made sense.

02lightning.....u should've got a supra..........just pickin'!!! i coudnt resist. the 230 looks sick! start practicing "wax on, wax off" with that black!

it's on the way via fedex. it should be there by friday. shipping was only $13 including a $500 insurance, so hopefully it'll be smashed & u can go get a new setup!! i'm pissed because i couldnt find a UT sticker to put on it! oh well, enjoy it. hopefully u can scrape up some bindings from somewhere cheap. i'll email u the tracking info.

tg--i didnt know u got the 230 from ryan. thats awesome!! the hometown boy comes thru!!

thanks wake eater...now stang killa will be in a better mood and ready to ride again!

STANG KILLA SS · Posted: Apr 29, 2008 4:13 pm Post subject:

HUGE thanks! ill tell the fedex handlers to ignore your comment though lol.
ill keep you updated for sure, ill see what i can do to find a UT sticker around here for ya Wink

when i get on my feet one of these days, and can afford some new gear, maybe i can pass this board on to another member in need. that would be cool.
i think my bindings are savable. wont be pretty, but i think they will work just fine with allitle repair.
definatly very gratefull Chuck.
thank you VERY much. Wink
