alright, help a surfnewb out 
I'm looking to get into wakesurfing next summer and have been doing some research.
I'm looking for something that I'll enjoy carving and pumping with, and will let me do surface spins easily. I'm looking at the Inland Surfer Black Pearl Yellow, Ronix Koal, and Grindwater Slaysh.
I've never surfed before but love caring the wake whenever I wakeboard and feel like it'll be pretty easy to get started so I don't want to waste money on a bigger board. I've heard you get what you pay for and also to stay away from wakeboard manufacturers...
So Is the Inland worth the extra money? What are everyone's thoughts?
Thanks

I think pumping and carving is better suited for a surf style, and surface spins is better with a skim style.
Obvisously you can do both things with either, but that might influence your decision. |

Agreed
You can do both with either style, but they feel totally different when doing so.
I like riding both styles. It would be best if you rode one of each style to see which is your favorite before making your decision.

| I have an IS Swallow, IS Blue Lake, IS Black Pearl Tri Fin and a Liqued Force Venture, Hands down the Black Pearl is the most versatile. You can get air, do spins, pump the wave and surf the S#!+$ out of the wave. If I had to choose one there would be no contest, it would be the Pearl. When you set it up with the stock fin in the middle and two 2.0's on the outside it will do anything you want! I nailed my first 360 with that board/setup |
