i ride the tfd and think it's great. smooth, nice pop, easy landings and pretty much anyone can handle it. i've never tried any of the other boards though, so i can't give you any info, sorry.

I would say if you are looking for a board for a couple years get what ever you want. I think if you can do all that after one summer that you could handle about any board you might just have to grow into it. It would be better to grow into one than to outgrow one. I just started this summer myself and the last time i went out I used my new Byerly, all I can say is it rocked. I thought it would be a little too advanced for me but it was the best ride so far. If you get an advanced board now when you upgrade you'll have a good slider if you want. with the close outs right now you could get a good deal. my Byerly was $225.

Just my 2 cents.

Alot of the online stores have closeouts going but that was the cheapest I could find. It is an awesome board. I cant wait for the weekend!

WAKESIDE.COM has 50% off on the '04 closeout items. They also don't charge any tax or shipping cost. Very Happy

Horaysh101, I've got a brand spanking new Gator Signature 139 that I will sell dirt cheap - like dealer cost cheap.

I also have some NICE Bindings bindings that I can sell super cheap if we have your size in.

Get a skurfer. You could probably pick one up for a relativly innexpensive price. They're nice. Sandal bindings and a foam core... You can also make your own wakeboards out of plywood and industrial foam. I've been riding my own signature board for years now!

Thank you for recognizing that the Parks will not be a good board for you. That is a very refreshing thing to see every now and then. As long as the board you select has a smooth rocker you should be good to go. If you let me know what kind of ride you are looking for I can give you some good suggestions. Best of luck.

i would deffinietly suggest the temet. They are awsome boards with awsome pop. Also look into the HL premier, they are great boards also. Smile
