What is the best?

So i am looking for a new 2009 board and i am leaning towards the Ronix One-Danny Harf, i have a Ronix One now and am very happy with it, and i just want to see what you think about it and other company's. What Board do yall recommend?

That is a very broad poll. Why don't we just ask everyone what there favorite number is between one and one hundred? Laughing

Wakeboarding has came a long way. 10 years ago there were fewer board companies and a question such as this would probably been fair game. However, the board companies in this sport have stepped up their game and the answer to this question can only be found by your own experience. Personally I have had good experiences with Hyperlite, CWB and Liquid Force, but I am not saying that those companies are better than the others because I have never rode nor done business with the others.

well i have also rode those company's as well, i just want to know if the board i am about to get is a good choice. i put up the poll to see what everyone likes best, and i know they have come a long way. But i am also up for suggestions on differant boards. thanks.

Sounds to me like you will basically be getting the board you already have in a different color if you stick to the Ronix One. I suggest you do a search on Ronix One and someone has probably posted their advice on boards from hyperlite, gator, ect that ride similar.

Really depends on different factors, like your riding style, whether you like more or less pop, control, etc etc.

I ride both a LF and a Hyperlite and I love them both. They are totally different in the way they ride, so depending what sort of ride I fancy and the water conditions, depends which board I'll go out on.

WakeTrixx, so you are going to base your board selection by the outcome of this poll? I voted for Gator hahahahaha

What's wrong with Gator?

Hydroslide isn't on the list. Go to your local walmart and demo demo demo.

Yeah, I like Hydroslide. Whatever happened to kneeboards? Their kneeboards were bangin'. Shocked

I couldnt vote on my favorite cause I like riding most of those companys boards.

You can never go wrong with the CWB absolute. I heard Byerly is making a good board these days.

One of the dumbest polls I've ever seen. Makes no sense.

dalderman, you are a dumby wumby if you think this is the dumbest poll you have seen, i have seen stupid one's, take your negativity somewhere else. but other wise srry i didnt put up hydroslide, i have heard good and bad things about every company, but it all comes down to the person riding them, the only bad thing i have heard about ronix is that they are grippy. i like CWB and Liquid Force as well, if you could pick one board from LF, CWB or Ronix, what woiuld it be, i shoiuld have been more specific, but i wanted a wider topic, thanks for all your advice so far and for those who keep posting.

The problem with your assumption is that you assume a brand name has something to do with hydrodynamics.

You may prefer a mellow continuous rocker board and if someone suggested a aggressive 3 stage rocker board you would not like it and associate that with the board brand. Because Ronix is grippy doesn't mean it's a bad board company, they just may make a certain board that you may not prefer. You've already biases yourself unjustly.

You should clarify the style of board you like then look for suggestions.

I made a wakeboard in my parents basement. I used balsa wood and bubblegum. It's the bestest.

Going from a 2007 Ronix One to a 2009 Ronix One should help you land your first 1080 ..... I mean isn't that what you are looking to hear .... "Such and such" a brand or board will make you a better rider? Save your money and get some lessons, they will go a longer way then a different color board.

jesus leviwynnyk i'm so sick of the 1080 crap, and there's no need to bash the guy simply because he's new here and doesn't understand why this question isn't a very good one. Anyway LakeIolaLuke said he couldn't stand the 07,08 one but loves the changes made to the board for 09. It's not just a different color Rolling Eyes

WakeTrixx, I've only ridden my one and PS3 and they've both been great boards to ride. If you're happy with your 07 one then why get another, unless you're planning to get rid of the 07.. If you really want another board then get some info together on what you like in a board and try something from cwb or LF etc.

Oh, found it. In the sports section of wal-mart or in the overtons catalog..... pick your poison. Twisted Evil

ok and the poll will give me a idea what everyone likes. so it isn't a dumb poll. the only reason i am looking for a new board is the fact i take it to the cable park and cracked it. i either want another Ronix, Cwb or LF, but i am not sure on which one to get, now ppl writting comments like ilubronix, are taking this post off topic.

WakeTrixx, are you on the pipe?? I just tried to bring this post back on topic by asking what you are looking for in a board, but nevermind. I have no interest in helping you find a good board for you now.

leviwynnyk · Posted: Mar 18, 2009 6:03 pm Post subject:

Blindside_137, I was just using the 1080 thing cause everyone knows it's been done to death, and for the recordit's the first time I ever used the 1080 analogy, and the last.

Asking what board brand is the best is like asking what automotive brand is the best..... it's just a stupid question and everyone knows it. perhaps "What brand do you ride" is more appropriate.

ilubronix, i was just talking about the dumbest polls. leviwynnyk, ovioiusly everyone is going to vote for there brand that they ride, well mostly. but my boy chris said i should get the CWB Absolute. but this post is supposted to be about what i shoiuld get. i am just trying to see what everyone recommends, thats it.

Geez too much testosterone round here! Have some pink glitter to lighten it up a bit!

I choose my boards purely by how much pink and shiny glittery flakes they have Wink

Find a shop that demos boards.

matt1808 · Wakeboarder.Commie Joined: 05 Feb 2004 Posts: 1981

WakeTrixx, how did you come up with that list?

AGAIN choose a board based on what YOU like. The Marius and Absolute are not the same type of board.

IF you give us some background info there are a lot of people here that are willing to help. If you keep ignoring the requests for this info you will continue to get garbage. This exact same thread is posted once every few weeks and they always end the same way.
