Looking For Some Info On This Board 2012 Lyman

TnR6Rida

Can anybody tell me anything about the 2012 Slingshot Keith Lyman board?

Here is the board http://www.buywake.com/catalog/detail/1234

I've never even had a Slingshot board before, so I'm a little hesitant on buying one of their boards too.

I'm very interested in picking up this board before this season, so any info at all will be greatly appreciated.

Just about everything I've ever tried/owned from Slingshot has been top notch, but I don't know anyone who's riding the Lyman yet. Check WakeWorld. There was a thread about it with some riding impressions there.

I posted a review thread on here, should be on the first page of general wake.

I'm riding this board right now, not much to say besides that it's a solid board that holds it's edge, pops hard and consistent and lands soft. super fast and fun, gonna be awhile before i ride a different board.

logan, Awesome man.. saw your other thread too with the picture. Where did you get the one with the black bottom. I like the looks of it better.

The Lyman comes with a black bottom, wood bottom was only on the proto boards. Only the ballistic series will have the wood bottom. I think she got mine from evo gear

Alright, one more question. Can I put new Ronix bindings on a Slingshot board?

Ya you can

Yeah I've got Ronix Franks on my '11 Slingshot Hooke. Just use Slingshot's sliding screws and nuts but use the little claws and plastic washers that came with your bindings.

dbismyname, How do you like the Franks? That is what I plan on putting on the board.

Just bought em for myself for Xmas so haven't rode em yet, but I've ridden a few pairs of Ones and the Franks feel almost identical on my feet. The intuition liners are the key

I'm a huge slingshot fan myself but haven't seen the new lineup of boots, the main reason I didn't give the rads a shot was the lack of a local shop to try them on. Let me know how you like your SS boots when you get em Logan

Sorry for the hijack, but does anyone know about '12 SS boots on an '11 LF Witness? I REALLY want some shredtowns.

Yes the Shredtown boots will fit on any other brand's boards.

If you check out Slingshot's vimeo they have videos of all the new gear tech info and more.

I was looking at slingshots new lineup today. all of their boards seem to be pretty fast even with their aggressive 3-stage rockers. Can anyone shine some light on this?

They do have some continuous stuff as well. IMO Slingshot has the best line up out of all the manufacturers right now. I really don't think any other line touches theirs right now. If you are in the market for a board, boots or both then Slingshot should be the first brand you look at.

Just a quick note on the board as my boyfriend has the Slingshot Lyman - it's a great flat water/cable board, but does not ride well in the chop. You literally feel every single bump, ripple and wave. He's got the RAD boots to go with it. It's a perfect flat water board, but when it chops up, he changes back to his LF Lyman.

Chocoholic, I've still got the OG LF Lyman too.
