Style: Wake, Freestyle
Weather: 18-25 knots

Looking for some advice for a new board, I currently have a LF drop limited 132, a great all rounder but I’m starting to get into some wake style moves.

I'm thinking about something around 129 but not sure about flex and design or brand.

Thanks

the ss lunacy comes in 129 and is a great wake/freestyle board i ride one for flat water days they have excelant pop land super smooth and stable and are allmost unbreakable with the frt core. or if you have some chop try the ss misfit 09 looks sweet now with frt core.

dont get the lunacy if you are a lazy rider as it will punish you definatly not for the faint harted, it also rides like its on rails when you take the fins off for a slider session-hardly marked the board.

Definitely demo an 09 LF Recoil/Recoil Comp, top board. I ride the 135 and the smaller sizes are even better!

Great all round board, they excel in flat/choppy conditions but still handle waves very well. I love mine

Hi RK,

We have a good lineup of boards to demo. Most of these would suit you and the style of riding you are talking about. Airush X-Pact 132, FS PRO 131, North Jaime Pro 132, Mallory 132.

You can try all on the same day if you come and give us a visit.

Good winds,

try a blade scalper. best up wind performance, 126 x 40, huge pop, light weight, unbreakable and cheaper than all the others. look it up you'll fall in love with it just like i did.

I 2nd this. I've dropped the standard fins and am currently using the slingy wake board fins. They are a little more forgiving than the stockos when trying stuff to blind
