Does this mean I need to get a new Cape and start boarding in a mask?

I kinda figure this is going tobeat me up a lot before I can tame the Bat...

nah, its honestly not as bad as everyone says... I can get it to feel really locked in if I want, or slide out in an instant if I work it right.

Oh yeah, and maybe it was just mine, but are those the sharpest fins you've ever felt? Be careful on your boats interior!

Laugh Damon, I have the .7 a wings on my motive and many scars on my shins from carrying it around. I think Hyperlite should make a skate guard sort of thing for those. I rode a friends 2 year old parks last week and love the way the edge hold coming into the wake. It was actually depressing going back to the Motive.

wkbrdr, from what i've seen, the 06 isn't going to be different becides the graphics... oh yeah and apparently they have a new core.

panhead, yeah I don't know why they're so damn sharp... I doubt they add a whole lot in performance compared to a duller fin... I sanded mine down alittle bit too, I was scared I was gonna hurt myself.
