Purchasing my first board... CWB Dowdy good?

Hey guys I'm looking to purchase my first wakeboard.
I've been riding around with my friend wakeboard which is slightly to big

I've been riding for a couple of summers (Behind a boat)
- I can clear wake to wake
- Couple of grabs/spins

Now I'm looking for a board to do maybe 70% boat, 30% cable park
Still yet to try cable park maybe I'll be addicted once I start

I was looking at the 2015 CWB Dowdy it got my attention, but haven't
been able to find any feedback at all on it.
I want something that is finless or that the fin can be removed.

Here's my specs incase...
5'9. 180lbs

I know you guys must get this all the time, I just want to be pointed
in the right direction so any advice is appreciated!

You should try a board whenever possible. I'm a huge Dowdy fan. I've hung out with the guy a few times and prior to having his pro model he rode a Pure, which I loved. I ordered the board based on that, but found it a little slow for me. I ride slow boat speed to begin with, so the combination didn't work well for me. I know others that love the board though.

Board speed is a preference. Some people hate fast boards. It's just a matter of what works for you. Also, some people have thought I was out of my mind for thinking that it was slower.

You might also consider the Twelker board, or my favorite....the Reverb, which I think is the board of all boards

I have the 2014 Dowdy board and like it alot, it has a softer landing than my old O'Brien Oasis. I think the 2015 is the same with new graphics. I also like how lightweight it is. My riding has improved with that board. I have the Dowdy boots as well.

dowdy board is rad! if you want something that rides a little faster look at the reverb! both great boards and cwb is all around a amazing company.

I see a lot of people mention "You need to try it" but how does that work can you go to a shop and they have demo boards for you to sample or something???

Depending on where you are, yes. My local shop will usually let you try a demo board for a a small fee, and apply it toward any purchase.

Who has feed back on Twelker's board, the CWB the Standard?

I ride the standard and cant get enough of it. Fast, poppy, forgiving everything i could ever want in a wakeboard. makes for a super good board for progression!
