 |
|
| I am not really new to the sport... i just thought this would be the best place to get advice. I have been wakeboarding for about 2 years now... but just recently have gotten a boat worth buying a good board for, and now i can start to try some new tricks. I can do a 180 and wake 2 wake, but nothing really other than that. I am about hmm 6'3" 220lbs and athletic, i snow ski/snowboard, water ski, any sport really. I was looking at the parks 143 DNA... cause i really wanna be able to go big, however i am sketchy on whether or not its the best board to progress on. I was also looking at the Murray 14.3, i thought that might be a little bit better to progress, since i don't think its as Balls out as the parks. Let me know what you think. |

I've heard the Parks is one of the most difficult boards to ride. It's definitely not for a beginner/intermediate.
I'd say you'd be better off with another board.

Yeah the parks is one you really either hate or love. It 'bucks' you at the wake and cuts twice as fast as anything i've ridden before. Dunno, I rode my mates for a while waiting for my new board to come in... got used to it eventually but I dont think I would choose it over something else.. too hard to control, more of a name than anything, even my mate struggles on it sometimes.. gets on my board and seems to progress a lot faster. Have learnt a lot of new tricks on my board, then gone back to doing them on the parks once he had them down..

murray aint a bad name... Like the others said stay away from the parks unless u have 4 or 5 years of wakeboarding under your belt... It seems to cut and do everything 10 times quicker...Its hard to adjust to... But once you get good it may be the one
