Help choosing a new boat board ...

I've been wakeboarding for a year now and got the bug. They have a system 2.0 and a decent size boat lake where I go. A year ago I got myself the 2015 Hyperlite Webb which is a crossover I can use with both. I love the speed and agility of the Webb but I'm not getting great pop off the wake behind the boat and not progressing at the same rate that I am on the cable so I'm still stuck behind their Nautique Ski.

I'm after a good boat board that will carry similar speed to the Webb but with better pop, good edge hold and still have forgiving landings (if such a board exists Smile

). The only other board I have tried was the Hyperlite Kruz Nova but while I am sure that this is a great Pro board I found it really slow and tiring to ride. The online store I bought the Webb from have recommended JD's new 2016 model the Hyperlite Relapse which is apparently more of a boat board or the 2016 Ronix One ATR Carbon. I really want to get behind the 210 so I need to step it up. Any views on these two boards or recommendations of others would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hmmzzz I suspect it might be technique rather than board that's the issue. Do you have a video of yourself riding that you can post?

Thanks FlyZone CR. I don't have any vids only pics. You're right though there's definitely room to improve technique. I should say I am getting off the wake and with the rope pulled up heel side wake to wakes. Just not getting much vertical pop. It's probably still a lot technique and a bit down to the smaller wake produced by the ski boat but I'd still like more of a boat board to help me along the way.

Even a pic could help!
As far as boards; you'll have to try 'm yourself to know for sure. The One ATR is an immensely popular board but I hated it when I tried it.
You might want to try the LF Witness, it does all that you describe.

Post some pics!

With gas prices down......I might actually wakeboard for the first time in 7 years.
