i've been boarding on a friends board to see if i enjoy it enough to buy one.......My friend rides on his 05 hyperlite, but i've been on his older cwb...

i've been looking for a good board and found the 05 cwb flame 135 thats decently priced (i would get transit bindings). I have been looking for opinions on it but haven't been able to find any on 05 cwb's

i'm 145 lbs. and 5"8' and my buddy chris thinks the LF fish would fit me perfect but is out of my price range...i'm looking for either LF, CWB, or Hyperlite....

my ?'s are anyone have the 05 cwb flame 135 board and what do they think of it... What board would you suggest for me to get???

btw, i'm a newbie and wakeboarder.com has some awesome info

Any board from CWB you will be very happy with..... the flame is a good board, I have ridden it a few times... it's sweet but you probably would like the absolute more. I have one for sale on ebay... check my signature. eitehr way a 135 is your size.

The 2005 Flame is the 2004 Absolute. I rode the Absolute last year & I ride the new one this year. My profile picture is me on the same shape as the flame. I'm 5'7" 150lbs and also ride the small one. It really is a great board. I like this years shape a lot more but last years was a freaking awesome board. I rode it with 1.1" fins & this years I ride finless. I say hit up the CWB and you will be set.

stephan, how are the absolutes landings compared to the marius?

They both have the spines, the Marius has the double spine which is basicalle two running right next to each other. The Marius is a little smoother because of the continuous rocker & v hull, but not drastically so. This years Absolute lands much smoother than last years, they increased the length & depth of the spine from 04 to 05.
