 Posted: Apr 14, 2010 12:38 pm Post subject: Wakeboards etc Review websites? |
 |
|
Is there any half descent websites that give you reviews on wakeboards/bindings/boats... all things wakeboarding?
I used to visit one alot but i cant seem to find it anymore and now i cant really find anything... googled it to death and all i seem to get are the generic reviews on each product. I'm looking for user reviews... especially since im desperate for a new board. |

Too far. Toooo far.
lizkate84, You might have to post a question on here, but use the search function for a specific board you are looking for on this website. It is likely there are several honest, first-hand reviews already on here. The search function is located right up top.
However, most of the sites that you can buy from online will have some reviews. And jondextan is actually right, the WW.com forums tend to have pretty good reviews. Some of the sites: boardstop.com, wakeside.com, buywake.com. There's many others.
There is actually also a "gear" section here, but it doesn't get all that much traffic just because there are typically discussion topics.

Just ask people about the board you want or ask for a type of board you are looking for.. someone will probably have information on that board.
I bet someone on our boards has ridden every board out there or knows someone that has.

I searched the forum before the post.... The male to female wakeboarder ratio on most sites though is way out of proportion... so while it may be easy for a guy to search the board he wants, all i usually get is the generic bumf or maybe one tiny undetailed review if im lucky!
I was infact looking for a specific wake review website that seems to have vanished. It contained LOADS of user reviews on each board, binding, even boats. I kind of hoped someone else would know of it and post the link along with any similar sites like this... as i want to compare many boards before i spend the hard-earned 
Kinda thinking about a LF Jett 2010 at the min... cant find any reviews on it. |

There is a thread in the newbs section where a guy accidentally bought a Jett not knowing that it was a chick board. In that thread they tell him that the Jett is essentially the same board as the Witness so maybe you could check out guys reviews of the witness for a little help.
