Hi everyone,

I have a question, i want a board only to put on it my LForce boots, and to kite and go cable without any problem, and do freestyle in flat water with the kite too.

My question is, which board is better for that?

In my list they are: Cab. Custom, Best profanity, Aboard X Series, Naish Arcade, North Gambler or Hadlow Wakestyle?

Someone can tell the differences between those boards???

My preference is Hadlow Wakestyle 138. Anyone has tried it?

Thnx to everyone!

Can you place a cab custom and a Hadlow wake on top of each other and take a picture comparing their rockers? I have the custom and am happy with it. I look at dre style riding and if he can do it with a custom, then it's gotta be good enough for me. I am interested in tw Hadlow wake, but have never come accross a flexifoil dealer.

Don't forget about the Darkside!?!



Not much in tech but you get some good detail shots of the wood core and outline. Not a wake rocker but more aggressive then a topical kite"flat"rocker. You won't always have to be powered to ride the Darkside.. 2012 is a really great board. Firm but flexible to press and butter, yet solid enough to take hard landings and rail hard!

That and the Newton 142 are my two top boards for behind the kite/cable/boat!

I guess you should also consider the Tona Pop in your list - developed by guys that are pushing the wakestyle since jurassic, so they are suppose to know what is it all about.

If you want one board for cable and kite definitely consider Tona POP. A friend of mine has one and he loves it on the cable and behind the kite. I has a bit more rocker then my dlx and a bit more flex in the tips, but still very stiff board. i can't comment on it since twice i went out to test it, wind died after 5min.
But as far is i could see and what he told me the board goes up wind unbelievably.
Also the board is bulletproof. The base of my dlx looks like it is made out of cardboard compared to that. A really well made board.

definitely try the tona pop before you make a decision

Been there tried that. Just get a wake board for the cable and a Kite board for the kite. Now if you are only going to go every once in a blue moon then you might make it work but if its more often than not then a wake board is what you want.

Kite boards are too fast on the the cable. They just don't have enough rocker and they are too flexi to get the most out of loading the line. You can pick up a last season board or used board for really cheap.

I guess if you are thinking about wakestyle boards it would be remiss of me not to mention....

Try the LF hybrid boards, mates are riding them kiting and cable, love them, the Shaun Watson boards they love. They say that you just need go 2 kite size's up and be really powered. But that goes for any boots + boards. I got the LF grind influence 138 and its wicked kite and cable.
