i know you must be pretty sick and tired of hearing this question. But, finally my mothers letting me buy a new board. I used to ride a 2004 player 138 and its pretty messed up since daniel watkins usd it. I'm stuck between 4 boards, 2005 substance, subject, 3ds and era. I am curently riding behind the boat but i'll soon soon ride mostly cable, so i want a good board for sliding (ramps and rails) and trying raleys in the curves. Also are the removable fins (i.e on the subject and 3ds) bad for rails?

Personally, out of the 4 I would go with the ERA. but have you looked at the state board. I like that on the cable.

the era cost $330

LF team is the best cable board!

yeah, if you are into flats tricks, i would recomend the LF team as the board for you. if you are going to be an o-dub rider, i would say either a premier, era, or a lyman

(player) · (player) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 03-15-2005, 2:25 PM

dunno i think im more into 3-stage, but it depends. Is the team that good, is it really worth it??? and what does o-dub rider?

(kristian) · (kristian) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 03-16-2005, 3:51 AM

O-dub = OWC
The team is really good for air tricks. If you're into that.

yeh, but is the team a good slider board also

(kristian) · (kristian) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 03-18-2005, 4:40 AM

The team is fine for sliders. Just most people go for a molded in fin design for sliding.

are like your jumps lower on a continous rocker? is the difference between 3-stage and continous that different?

(kristian) · (kristian) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 03-18-2005, 5:52 PM

On the cable, three-stage and cont' don't really apply to jumps.

parksdna133 03-18-2005, 6:18 PM

dude whatever you do get a hyperlite board

(tripleup) · (tripleup) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 03-19-2005, 11:16 PM

I ride a Substance and it is the first board I have ever put on for the first time and felt comfortable with. I hit a lot of sliders and kickers and if takes the abuse just scratches.

(player) · (player) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 03-23-2005, 1:20 PM

now just between the substance, era and team... this is really bothering me, i don't want to regret buying anyone of them, they're all good boards...but which one?

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 03-25-2005, 1:34 PM

I have to throw one more board into the ring.
I am always riding my GatorBoards Gonzales 142 at the cable park. Its super slick on the rails.

If your not interested in GB.
Go for the substance.

parks, cwb prodogy platnum, or a byerly

is the substance good for air trick

i've been riding cable for 3 years now and i can tell you one thing....the board won't really make a difference on cable as much as it will behind the boat. i've got a firend who can throw ralleys on a slalom ski. if i was going to recomend a board to you i'd say go with a hyperlite for one reason- they're probably the most durable boards and they've got a good selection to choose from. whatever you do don't waste your cash on a lighter core like a platnum or a dna. these WILL break quicker and cost more! during the summer i ride cable everyday and average hitting about 30 to 75 rails a day. the key to keeping a bord in good shape is epoxy. any time you see a little delam or crack fix it up with epoxy.

which board

drewsky24 04-07-2005, 1:34 PM

SUBSTANCE!!!!!

(player) · (player) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 04-07-2005, 3:04 PM

now i've cut it down to three (substance, era and team) i like all three and most people here would probably agree that all three are good boards. Now i've got one thing that i've realized that i want, i want a board that when u ride it, u could go straight forever just enjoying the way it ride, the kind of board that u can ride and never get angry at, the kind of board that lets u truly wakeboard in peace.

drewsky24 04-07-2005, 3:32 PM

i hear from people that own the era say that its kinda slow.

(player) · (player) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 04-09-2005, 6:19 AM

slow??? i heard that its really fast

drewsky24 04-09-2005, 10:51 AM

i guess that some people opinions, but i have heard nothing but good from people that ride the substance.

jeffsuperstar 04-09-2005, 11:12 AM

(player) · (player) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 04-09-2005, 12:50 PM

(afwakepilot13) · (afwakepilot13) **Join Date: Feb 2004** 04-09-2005, 1:21 PM

I would say the Team is smoother and faster, but they are both awesome.

(player) · (player) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 04-09-2005, 2:07 PM

thats why its so hard to choose for me, all three are really good.

(player) · (player) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 04-11-2005, 4:51 PM

(partydock17) · (partydock17) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 04-12-2005, 9:29 AM

I ride the GatorBoards Harris at Texas Ski Ranch. Itsreally flaton the bottom so it makes it really slick on the fun boxes and it sper stable on the sliders.

drewsky24 04-12-2005, 7:14 PM
