They're both ok if you're just going to mess around on it but I wouldn't recommend them if you're looking to get in to wakeskating too seriously. You should be able to find boards around $200 with grip. Try searching ebay or the classified section of wakeskating.com. |

yeah ive ridden one of those a couple times, they got the scape for 20$ when they bought their boat from action, it isnt to durable though, after about 1 years use the paint started chipping and peeling off, but what to expect from hyperlite... and you could probably remove the foam and then get two sheets of skateboard grip tape which is like 3$ a strip, then just layer them next to eachother and cutoff the excess |

I agree, those boards aren't the best for performance at all! I ride a composite deck (byerly legacy 08') and have had it for a solid year, and I ride several times a week.
Those decks you have listed aren't any easier to ride than other decks available (in fact, I think they are a little harder to ride), and won't last as long as nicer decks that are out there (integrity, byerly, devotid, signature)
Whether you want a composite or a wood board is an entirely different discussion. I can tell you this though, if you throw down a little extra paper and get a composite it will last a long time!!!! _________________ Wakeskating and Wakeboarding are Lifestyles, not just hobbies!
