It's got some fuskin wierd kick tail on it. Have you seen the 3d image of it on hyperlites site? The yanks seem to be bangin on about how good it is but I wana ride one before I even contemplate lashin out the sort of money they're askin for them. Can't seem to find a shop with one in over here either.

Saw Brandon Thomas riding that board over at OWC, he was landing kickflips out in the flats, so i rented one, feels funny at first and takes time to get used to, but is a great skate, but the pro cassette models are still the way forward

Sounds like I need to check the Cassette out aswell before I lash out any coin. I presume you meen the Concave one ?
The shop at tallington recon they'll have some in mid november. I'll try n check the cassette out in the mean time.

my first wakeskate that i had was a 2001 origianl cassette, from this i went to a 2003 41" pro model (concave), both the pro concave and the gate are great boards, if you like to slide them then the gate is better because it wont wear as fast, but if your into shove-its (like me) then the cassette is my prefered choice. Also i bought mine at Performance ski and surf and got it shipped over, even after shipping and tax i still saved £50, this is compared to a southern shop (i wont mention the name just one of the main ones), as this shop was also trying to sell me the 2002 model for that £50 more!
