New wakeboard

I'm looking to buy a new wakeboard. I like Hyperlite, but I'm open for any other brands. I'm 6'0 and 190 lbs. Looking for a more advanced board. Any suggestions?

Anything in particular you are looking for in a board that would help narrow the choices down a bit? There are a lot of good Hyperlite boards, but they all ride differently.

The 3DS. I am about the same size as you. Some things I like about the board is that it is fast, the landings are soft, and when you put some .7 A-wing fins on you are good to go. You still have plenty of control. What board do you ride now?

you have to be more descriptive in what you like about a board. For example Chris nominated the 3DS, but I hate the the 3DS. There is no board that will suit everyone. If I had to recommend a board for you it will be the o'brien natural 139

why are you considering a new board?

Guys,
Sorry about the lack of info. here. I'm new at this discussion board and I think it's awesome! I appreciate all your input. I have ridden Hyperlite State, Premier and CWB boards. I wanted to find something with POP and a soft landing and something that is more advanced than intermediate. I'm 6'0 and 190 lbs. Any suggestions?

The 07 CWB Transcend 142cm is worth a demo for sure!! It has great pop, great speed, soft landings.

Man it is always ither hyperlite or CWB. Are there no liquid force fans around here?

The liquid force shane is amazing. I just got lucky when i decided to buy it because every aspect of that board is what i have always wanted in a wakeboard, it fit me better than i thought it would. But man i bet i read the description of every board that was on the market in 06 and that was the only one that had everything i wanted. So just do your research and you will find something that will fit you perfect. How did you like the set up on wakeside.com?

PJ at wakeside recommended the Hyperlite Premier or the Liquid Force PS3. So the answer to your question about "are there no Liquid Force fans around here?"........well eveidently at Wakeside.com there is. I'm gonna see if I can Demo that PS3. I appreciate your help man, good job! Thanks!
