sounds like a walmart board, so probably not.

try looking for names like CWB, Hyperlite, Liquid Force, Slingshot, Ronix, O'Brien

those are the top wakeboard manufacturers

On that note, i began with a walmart board doing wakejumps from a ski line 75 feet back going 28 mph, so if you can buy it for like 30 bucks go for it, any board is good to learn on.

Man, Full Tilt is an oooold wakeboard. It's probably more of a collectors item than a practical wakeboard (not that it's worth a lot). The board is probably 10 to 15 years old. Wakeboards have gotten a lot better since then.

Well its not a Walmart board but it is also not a new board. Full Tilt was legit back in the late 90's, they had Thomas Horrell, Cobe Mikacich, Mike Weddington and Andrea Gaytan riding for them.

The bad thing is that your friend is trying to sell you a board that is over 10 years old. The board you are looking at was built in 1999 and its design is a little behind the times. The only reason I'd buy it is if you had once rode it and felt like getting nostalgic.

Here's what she looks like.

Full tilt is almost as old as me.... Back in the day they did have a legit team and full tilt lasted a few years.

I thought Mike started a wakeboard school in North Carolina or somewhere his wife was from?
