The OR Mako board is just like an apple computer: it's a product used by a minority who can't even imagine going back to the common solution.

I use the mako as well as other boards that are more mainstream and I like both. The mako is a unique board. Actually I have a mac and windows at work as well (I like windows better).
So what does that mean? Nothing. And you post probably means nothing as well

ok. Regarding the Mako, it was probably an exageration of my part. Of course i like other boards. Of course i'm gonna use other boards in the years to come. But IF i was to be dropped in a desert island for the rest of my days and could bring a single board, i would bring a MAKO (what would you bring?)
Regarding the Apple computers... some things in life must be tried properly. Do you OWN a Mac? Of course you're not going to choose a Mac if you don't tried it enough. In case you REALLY know what you're talking about
... well, i'm surprised! Sounds like the guy i met last week who claimed to be an ex-gay.
PS:. Don't reply to a post that means nothing. It will only attract more people to it.

And exactly which MAKO would you be taking to that island as your "one" board ?
The 150 wide or the 140 wide ?
Thanks

used to work in the IT... strange comparison.. I prefer the Mako.. Mac ? Pc? who cares,, Ride!!
Had a Mako Wide 150, now a 140.
Both great boards, one board solution for all water conditions is definatly the 140.
Regards,
Arjan

The 150 wide is a very very good board for the ocean. Excellent TT in the waves that carves like no other TT. Very very confortable. Not a lightwind board though.
And I wish vista was stable

ok. I would bring the 150 to the island. But if you're not going to the island, the 140 may be a great choice! (depends on your weight)
