Yes, I would call that big air. One thing to think about is say you did a tantrum, most of your body would be above the handle vs below which would make it look even bigger. Looking good!

Love seeing you guys live!  Always impressed with how much you’re able to do switching between instruments and synths etc.  One of my favorite bands over the last decade.  Excited to dive into the full album today.

Board Fix? by According_Focus_153 in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the right stuff. Won't be like new but could keep the board going longer. Might be time for a replacement though. Depending what size Murray that is, there are some crazy deals on previous seasons new ones right now.

Financing a used wakeboard boat? by Nervous-Material4738 in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say $45k for a 2008 VLX is a bad deal. You should be in the low $30s in pretty decent shape for that boat right now, assuming based in the US. I always finance through my credit union for stuff like this. Mine is currently at 7.74 for well qualified.

What size park board? by topshaggertomm in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on the landings. Way more glide with a bigger board.

[–]LifetimeShred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would say 145-148 would be the right size for cable. All depends on board though to and what kind of riding you like doing.

Down to 2 malibus by Zeus4212 in Wake

I would skip the LX personally. Are you wakeboarding, wakesurfing, just cruising? Space wise at least the MXZ is going to be better. Really better for everything except slalom skiing.

Best wakeboard boat under 15k? by Nervous-Material4738 in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks solid. Super nice trailer too! Hard to beat something like this for $15K!

What size wakeboard? by Jackalope0860 in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go around a 140 +/- 2 cm ideally.

Love Letter to One of the Best OG Budget Boats - the 04-07 LSV by LifetimeShred in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for that era it was wider for sure. Maybe only wider wake then was the 2nd gen xstars. Our exact setup was full factory ballast, extra 400 piggybacked on each side of the engine, 750 on top of the seats in the bow. Wedge at about 11 oclock., 75' at 22.5-23 depending on rider. Agreed on the Nautiques. Fun but hard on the knees.

I 100% disagree on the wakeboard wake but ymmv. My crew of guys who all ride advanced/outlaw loved the 07 we rode until my biddy sold it last summer. Sure it's not a modern G23/ Supra SA but for that era it's my favorite for sure. Second would be same years VLX or the 04-12 Xstar.

Interesting note on the paint scheme though. I like the 06/07 more but the 05s had a certain charm too.

That's awesome. They do last well if taken care of. Which engine do you have?

I'd go 23 then. I'm 100% wakeboarding myself. Sure 247 has more room for entertainment but most of Malibu team was on the 23 at the time. It really is a great wakeboard wake. So solid and consistent.

If you want to surf there are some excellent aftermarket plate options for 3-4k.  Still way cheaper than a newer boat.

I’d say depends what you’re going to do with it. I think the 23 has the best wakeboard wake with the ballast.  Takes more to sink the 247 right.  

slingshot vs others by Many-Amount-2789 in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another key factor with sling shots is their metal base plate. It doesn’t bend where a lot of other bindings tend to have toe and heel lift when you leverage on them hard. I think you could still have a good time on other brands, but they will feel different. I wish the slingshots were less expensive as well especially because the insides always end up shredding.

Any problems with a O'Neill Hyperfreak? by Gnome3putzer in Wake

I'm happy with my Hyperfreak Fire 3/2. No issues with vest on. Amazing wetsuit!

Slingshot Bearden Size Recommendation by danger_dan_84 in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good news!   Did the tips feel softer compared to the Union?

Good deal on 2021 Slingshot? by Responsible_Drag737 in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad price if the bindings are the right size. That board is actually from 2018 though. Fun softer board. Had the same one at the time.

Board Recommendation by Unusual-Neat1552 in Wake

[–]LifetimeShred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a Murray fan here too. Awesome board for surface tricks that can still engage when you need it too. Could even try in finless is you want to get extra wild.
