Went and tested it this evening, I liked it better than my friends 133 hydroslide he bought, (he's newer than me) he's going to buy a new board in a couple weeks..

I could tell I was getting better pop off the wake, i'm adjusting to it pretty good.

The bindings are an XL and fit ok seeing as how I wear a size 12.5-13 shoe, but they were a pain to get in and out of, had to use soap, no other way of getting out without them.

But for 150$'s with board and bindings not a bad deal at all for my first board. It was marked for 199$ and they dropped it to 150$ so I couldn't pass it up.

Only thing really wrong is some skuff marks here and there.

Im glad the board is better than a hydroslide haha

Most bindings that don't have laces and stuff need soap for sure.. also the bindings will be easier to get on as soon as you ride in them more.

those bindings suck ayass, I know because I had them for a season. You can probably find some schmoe to buy them for about 75 on ebay. Use that money to get some better ones.

Were yours uncomfortable, i'm finding that they start to hurt my ankles after about 15mins.

Does anyone know if that board is suppose to even have holes for a center fin, because mine does, and it almost looks as if they were drilled by someone.. From looking at the above picture it doesn't look like theres holes for a center fin.

Damnit its not suppose to be the way mine is.. Time for some epoxy or resin repair

This is how its suppose to look.

yeah, they would start hurting my ankles pretty bad after a few minutes. With my alpha's i have now the only thing that makes me get back in the boat is when my legs are shaking from being too tired. Very Happy

I loved that board. My friend has that board. I rode it a couple of years ago and fell in love, so then I went and got myself a newer Byerly. He/we now use that board as a slider board. It is perfect for it.

That is a pretty good deal man, but these guys are right about the bindings. My first year i had those same high suc bindings. They take a good amount of soap to get on, and i needed someone to help me take them off - ridiculous. If they fell off, i would need to hop in the boat and relube. After about 15 minutes they would nub up my feet. I hated them. It makes my made just thinking about them. I sold mine on ebay for about $60. - i just bought that same board from my borther in law. It is sweet. Nice buy for the money. good luck man

For those of you who have this board. About how high is the center molded fin. I need to reshape it using some resin, apparently the kid who had it before he sold it decided to drill some holes and use a screw in fin. I want to reform it.
