Byerly or Catalyst?

I'm trying to decide between an '05 HL Byerly or a Catalyst. I have a wood Cassette skate now but want to get a compression molded skate to try out. I can get a good deal on either model. Does anybody out there have any input on these skates?

i've heard great things about the byerly and my wakeskate camp instructor from last summer rode the '05 and loved it... so i'd say go with the byerly but if you can try them both out first!

I came from the catalyst to the byerly and love it. its shorter. the 05 and 06s are weighted for flip tricks and such. the 06 has grip insted of foam and i like the grip better than foam

I have the 05 Byerly and love it. I'm still a beginner but for what its worth its a great board.

id say byerly, i have rode both board several times, and for me its easier ride a shorter board, becuase its easier to control for me

the byerly and catalyst both ride more like a wakeboard. They are thick and heavy. if your looking for compression molded go check out GB and Integrity.
