Dicks Sporting Goods a local chain has this board with Split bindings and I was wondering if anyone was familiar with it.

http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/236956.html

There are pics in this thread similar to graphic on DicksSG offering. From what I can tell they are the same board but I can't find any info on it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Btw it's a 36cm. with 3 removable fins and what looks like a steep progressive rocker.
Would this make a suitable beginner-intermediate board for 175lb 5'10 rider?

I have never seen that board before in my life, or heard of it. It has to be decent if it is a hyperlite. But, a 136 is probably a little small for you, especially if you are just starting out. Look for something in the 140 -142 range. It will be more forgiving and the extra surface area will jump better.

ITS just a "exclusive" model. I think its a motive with the differnt grafics that only chain stores get.

Hey thanks for replying fellas. I got to ride it today and while it's a little small for me it will be great for teaching my nephew and niece. I was satisfied with the split bindings so later in the summer I will pick up a better board for me once I get my legs back. Thx again Dan
