I hear it's a transcend that isn't slow. SO you get amazing pop from the 3.3" rocker, but keeps speed. Sounds like the best of both worlds.. It aint cheap though.

It's lighter than the non plat version. If you're going to be hitting rails I'd say to not got with it. Andrew broke one doing a whirly off of a kicker at O Dub. Otherwise the Plat is a great board. If you're not in a hurry to get the board you may want to wait a few months. CWB is going to do a mid season release of the '06.5 Transcend. It's a new design from what Andrew told me, but couldn't go into details about it yet...must be H14 Classified. You can't go wrong with the Zeus. They are the simply awesome bindings. Everyone who's ridden in mine love them.

i doubt ill be hitting any sliders.. i will probably get the plat if i can get a good enough deal on it.

i heard that you can really tell how light it is, that true? can you notice a pound of difference? 1lb=$100.00....

bradmo42, holding it yes, riding it, probably not unless youre doing some serious stuff. you can tell a difference in pop tho. the platinum is a little stiffer so it pushes back harder going up the wake.

im going to be doing serious stuff this time around. sliders just dont interest me right now, maybe later. i got real serious in wakeboarding when i was 15 but dropped it all to play football and play in college. i just recently decided to not play in college so its back to wakeboarding. its more of an enjoyable sport for me.

where do yall think will demo right now? ive never demo'd a board before

bradmo42, Go to M2 in Houston and I think Houston Ski and board has a demo program. If you want to ride an 142 05 Transcend all you have to do is shoot me a PM and take me out on that nice boat of yours Very Happy
