I am an begin/inter rider and had a little mishap involving a Honda Pilot and my Tribute 142. Needless to say, I'm now looking for a new board. I've heard mine is heavy compared to other boards. What should I consider for new board options? I'm 6'2" 195lbs and that's all I'm going into. Not trying to score a date here, just a new board. |

Well did you like the board? Did you try any other boards? Iirc the Tribute has a continuous rocker, right? That's a good starting point. Do you ride cable? Give some more info and more people will chime in I'm sure.
For now: LF's Witness is my favorite board, you might want to give it a try! _________________ FlyZone Wakeboarding Costa Rica |

Good question...I don't ride any cable. I'd love to though, looks like a lot of fun. Let's say I'm a far closer to a beginner than inter. I don't do any rails or anything like that. Spins are my fav |

Is there a big difference between the Watson Hybrid and the Classic? |

IMO yes, the classic is a little narrower than the hybrid and the bottom features are more distinctive on the classic including the fins. I love my hybrid for boat and cable, but others don't like the hybrid for boat its personal preference. |
