So I'm a bit of a predicament. I've been hittin up people on offers they have for the Hyp Roams. I'm really wanting to get one to hit some rails and jib and stuff, but I want to keep my other board as well, which is an LF Omega 139. I've thought about just going with the deal on the Roam and trading in my other board, but I still want to be able to have the fins on my board since I'm only an intermediate rider. I've thought about just getting some new bindings since the one on my board suck. It'd probably be able to handle rails and what not pretty well, wouldn't it? What's everyones opinon? Keep my board and get new bindings, or go ahead with the Roam package? Thanks for the input.

Why can't you keep your board and get the Roam? Are you that strapped for cash?

Krent, Not really, no. But I'm getting some ballast bags and an insanity pylon too. Not to mention getting stuff for relatives and the gf for Christmas.

bottom line, keep your board, you'll be sorry once you trade in your bored and void the warranty on the roam which will break, then you will be boardless and bored..ful

Yeah I'm with Craig... if you want a roam just try to find a used one somewhere, i'm sure one will pop up in the classifieds on here sometime. besides, ballast bags + pylon > roam.

then again, roam > gf

Krent,

Thanks for the input. Oh and the roam would be on a full warranty. The guy's already told me the details. But I do like my board...and the ballast bags + pylon are gonna be pretty sick.

LFrider139,

I really like my roam but it it nothing more than a change of pace board. My advice it to keep your regular board and save up your tips from Joe's pizza and buy a roam later on..

LFrider139, You aren't going to want the roam to be your daily driver so whatever you do, do not get rid of your omega or you will be very upset. Like Krent said, fat sacks and pylon are a better purchase than the roam if those are the options. Also, as just an intermediate rider, what are you really going to get out of the roam. Tail presses can only be so exciting for a short period of time, very short, and then you are stuck with a board with no fins, that is a weird shape, and is going to break. Besides, you can tail press your wakeboard too.

ilubronix, That's what I thought, too. I definitely am keeping my board. I'm sure it'll hold up fine lol. It has so far. Thanks for the advice.
