The Company Recruit Wakeboard is Company’s latest creation, designed to be a little faster and more grippy than the Company Severance series. The Recruit is the board of choice for professional and recreational wake boarders alike, including Company’s own Randall Harris. The board features a simple Company ‘C’ logo, which puts the focus of the board’s performance rather than it’s graphics. In order to acheive the perfect blend of edge, pop and speed, the Company Recruit features a narrow waist, a modified rocker line and a small center fin. Company even recomends the Recruit for entry-level riders due to its smooth edge to edge abilitites and added bite in the water.

Sizes: 135,139,143

The Element Bam Live skateboard is one of the best quality skateboards made by Element. Not only is this a board that can do it all, it is a classic example of another well made Element Skateboard deck. For those of you who have not riden an Element deck, these guys are all about quality rides.
The Bamboo Pin Longboard by Arbor utilizes green products including Sourced Hardrock Maple, Bamboo Power Ply and Recycled Glass to create great carving board that is both good looking and eco-friendly. The Arbor Bamboo Pin features a classic tapered shape with an oversized wheel base and wide mid-section.
In lieu of classic grip tape, crushed recycled glass is used to create clear ‘re-grip’ directly on the surface of the board, allowing the natural wood grain to remain visible.
We love the Asian themed graphics, which complete the bamboo materials used in the board’s construction.
Board Specs:
Construction: 7-ply hardrock maple, bamboo finish ply, clear re-grip
Shape: Concave
Trucks: Gullwing 9”
Wheels: 70mm-78a”,
Wheel Base: 33.25”
Length: 46”
Widest Point: 9.5”
Bottom Line: Arbor makes great longboards, and we love the fact that the Bamboo Pin is greener than Al Gore. Give it a rip.

So I warranited my Capita “Photo Phetish” 160 and decided to try something different, and I like the degenerate graphics of the 80 Playboy stars. Ok so its a true twin like the capita and a mid-wide. The first thing I must say is as soon as you go with a burton 3 bolt board you are way more limited to your stance width options which just plain sucks. I Tried two stances on it maxed out- and front binding one back. Maxed out was rediculously wide like stupid wide and one back was a bit, further back than I usually like but better. This board is extremely soft it has a decent sidecut but not a lot of pop or edge control in and out of your turns I find it carves sloppy. It has a bit of pop to it under foot ollieing but it doesn’t make up for the boards biggest problem which is IT IS FUCKING HEAVY! Really heavy. Riding this board compared to my Capita is like night and day it feels like a giant brick under foot and it fucks up my riding. I will go back to riding my old rock board now because what is the point of getting used to riding a 1990s weight board??. I refuse to spent another day on it no matter how good it looks.
My advise is stay away from this tank and ride somthing with some better core material unless you want it for your wall. Not feelin the Love.
