Yah, whats up? They dont have a media, soft goods, and a few other sections up. I wanna support these guys, but they need to get it together.

They should have it up any time.

I mean, were supposed to be getting our 2006 GB products in any day, so they should have it up soon.

I am supposed to get an '06 Gonzales in about a week, so it should be up soon if they're already selling their stuff.

Is Gonzales the best Gator board? What other Gator boards should I consider? I am a solid Intermediate rider that is about 6'2" 215lbs

Well that depends,

What type of tricks are you pulling off right now and what sort of board are you coming off of?

Do you prefer the 3-stage rockers or contenuos?(I don't know how to spell)

The Gonzales by far is the most popular board that we sell out of our shop.
However every person wants something different from their board.

gene3x, There is NO SUCH THING as the "best board". There is the best board for you but there isn't, and never will be a best board. It's impossible. The Gonzalez is a great board, its quick, loose when flat and pops pretty well, but I don't like it. It doesn't fit my style at all. However, my best friend has one and loves it. Remembger, there is no such thing as a best board, only most popular.

Everyone else has the right idea. It's all about preference, not what board is overall the 'best.' I have the Gonzalez and like it a lot, but I just got the Militant and I definitely like it the most out of the boards I've ridden. I wouldn't mind trying Gator's ride either - it looks pretty sweet - as does the Briscoe. The best thing you can do is get out and demo them if at all possible.

I am riding the Transcend (to loose) and the TFD/3DS right now and love the agressive continous rocker. I am landing BR and 3's and have a few Raley's under my belt among other various inconsistant stuff. I am frustrated because one day I am the Shiz on the Transcend (but more inconsistant) and the next I suck. I do like the Premier I have been riding lately but all of my Hyperlite boards are Broken!!!!! Delam, bindings pulling out, or just plane coming apart!! I am 6'2" 215 and am hard on stuff but crap!

I've never had a problem with any of my HL stuff. I have 3 boards and 3 pairs or their bindings. My friends do have problems w/ binding tears. No broken boards though, except for the dings from being dropped.

ballywho, can you honestly say HL makes a lesser product?

I think not.

hey, i live next to gator and talk to him all the time...I went to surf expo also and saw all the 2006 products from all companies... as far as Gator Boards products go...i have no pictures, but the shapes are pretty much all the same, and the graphics are different. the ricky g is scarlet red and grey, it has like flowers and skulls on it...pretty sick board...i ride it now as well as the vandall....the vandalls board is the same shape and everything....the 143 is a red bandana graphic...it is hot.......the smaller one is the one i am going to grab when gators got some of the final ones....it is white and blue bandana pattern....the Brisco board is the same shape but I forget the graphic....and sorry i forget everything else but in general....all the same. the new bindings are better though....the ones that they are designing now my friend are designing for them....they are going to be a combo of the parks/liquid force style.....
