Where is Waketech?

I suppose they 'Made' the best, they don' 'Make' the best. Very Happy

My '98 Byerly Pro is the toughest board in the world EVER! 4 years old and still going strong, despite use on kickers and sliders.

its personal preference ,the best one for you is usually the one you ride but that may not be the best for your buddy..

I ride HL premiers but there are other board companies out their that make good boards..

I ride LF, o'brien and Origin. I think the Origin is indestrucible, it's made like a tank. Warrantied against sliders and everything else you could throw at it. Origin is by far made the best, I have not heard any complaints about delam, falling apart fast, anything of that sort.

Any of the top three (CWB, LF, HL).
I've had them all, but feel CWB is heading in the best direction now.

Umm. CWB.
It's cool to have a board that rips, and be one of the only people on the lake with it. It's funny how most people buy a board because they think the company's cool. Tons of people on make lake ride HL because they think it's cool, not because they like the ride. I used to ride a Premier, then tried last years Absolute. No contest. Just got the new Absolute and rode it a couple weeks ago.
Damn. The demo of the year.

The honeycombs are too expensive to make anymore. I went to the factory a couple years ago and saw one being made. They have to go through the presses 4 more times than foam and take about 10 times longer to make. BTW the factory is first rate and everyone should see it. It will make you appreciate why those boards are expensive.

HL! But now days, somehow i feel HL has cut back on the quality... Binding tear faster and boards break easier... But LF totally sux, the layers tend to peel after some time..

I've found that most of the big dog companies all have boards that will more or less ride the same. In other words I can find an O'Brien board that will ride similar to a Hyperlite, to a Liquid Force, etc., etc. Some friends own an O'Brien and Liquid Force dealership so it's no big surprise that I voted for O'Brien. Most of you are probably biased for similar reasons.
