That is a very inexpensive beginner level board.
I bought that EXACT board shortly after I bought my other POS Hydroslide. I never even got that board wet because I realized that I wanted a much better rig and ended up getting my CWB package.
I fronted the FM board to a buddy of mine who was going to put a set of bindings on it. Instead, we ended up getting him a CWB for his birthday before he ever got around to buying bindings.
That FM board has still not been wet. He's probably going to turn it into a kite board, as I may someday do with my Hydroslide.
As for the FM board itsel, they say its mady by LF, but it is definitely a bargain basement board....very small rocker, almost no molded fins (but bigass center fins). The graphics are cool, but the one I got had a pretty shoddy finish on the bottom. It looked like a bad clearcoat job.
Like I said, if you're looking for a pure entry level board, its a pretty decent deal. I don't remember exactly what I paid for mine but it was definitely less than $100.00. If you're looking for a "real" wakeboard...that ain't it. _________________ Hilton Head Wake Sports.com
