new board for my knees

I am in need of a new board that can help me with my landings because the 05 3ds just wont take. Ive got a torn acl and i cant ride as aggressively as i would like to anymore. The flats and doubleups are too painful. Any suggestions? will a new board really help? riding behind a weighted 2010 malibu wakesteter 23.

I used to ride a Ronix One with a completely flat bottom that landed fine for the most part but anytime I went to the flats, over shot the wake, or came up short it was pretty murderous.

I switched to an 09 LF Watson this year and have been loving it. Hurt my PCL bad last year but so far so good this year. I love Ronix's bindings but I think LF makes the best boards IMO.

btw, nice boat!!

yeah non flex the watson and CWBs have big center spines. for for soft landings theres no comparison to a flex board. check out a slingshot or company board. your knees will love you.

I have two reconstructed knees... ACL on the left, PCL on the right...

I started riding a Slingshot Recoil this year and I rediscovered wakeboarding! I will never go back... Its so much more enjoyable when you can go out into the flats a couple times a set and still walk normaly into work the next day.

i also have a 2010 slingshot recoil and love it. its so smooth and soft, but still boots you way up. my next board will be a SS also.

I have a recoil, but i guess I've never had a board that lands hard, because I havnt noticed.

so i think ive decided on getting one of the package deals from slingshot.com with the response board. I am 6'0 155 and i think the 142 is the right size? also do you think the d2's or pb floyds will make a difference in landing? Ive got the 06 murrays right now

id go with a 138 if your only 155 pounds.
at 6' you must be a bean pole lol Laughing

the response board is a continuous rocker. allitle more speed and distance. allittle less vertical pop than the recoil
