Show Us Your Wake! (surfing mods comparo)

[swatski]

So does that mean I can ask for my Christmas gifts now that are coming from you ?

I normally ride a 4.4 phase five carbon fiber board that is geared for the pro rider. Ok I'm totally not anywhere close to that level but has been my favorite board up till now. I can say when I rode the Slingshot coaster 5.3 super easy and my back leg was getting cramped because I was trying to put on the breaks. Board was definitely fast. Then I rode a similar board the Slingshot cobra cat 5.0 and it was almost the same but not as long which I liked even more. . . . Now I am itching to try the corba cat carbon fiber 4.8. Think I am having mid-life board crisis like @J-RAD !

Now, that's what I would call a "Come to Jared moment", lol.

Camera angles rarely show a wave properly.

The goofy side wave always looks better, show us the regular!

I think you forgot that Jerry still owes you a birthday present from last year... so you go ahead and get your Cobra Cat to make up from last year and you can still ask for that waffle maker for Christmas this year.

Now is a the perfect time to buy, for Christmas or otherwise. I have very little concern that you will like the 4'8" board over the 5'0", I love it!

Ugh but I don't ride that side. So who cares lol. I'm jk all my homies ride reg. I'm let rally the only weird one. I wish I recorded my buddy riding from doomswell. He killed this wave. Said it was better than everything he's ridden other than one super dialed Max and centurions under 23ft. This wave was darn close tits high for a 5'11" dude. Again camera doesn't come close to doing this justice.

I do believe there is one surf boat that you could buy once and never have to upgrade. But my wife will never allow me to spend that much money on a boat. At least not at once lol.

I finally put my money where my mouth was and just received the 5’0” slingshot coaster xr I ordered from @J-RAD DBA Transomwatersports yesterday. Just finished trying it out. Very easy to get up on. Very easy to cruise on. Not a bad quick thrasher but if you have a good sized wave and want to play on the lip be careful not to lose the pocket as it is not fast for recovery. Hands down the most versatile board I have riden as far as one size fits most. Had a 100lb 12 year old (complete newbie), 6’3” 159lb 16yo (novice) , 6’1” 167 lb 15yo (advanced), and a 5’11” 185lb 42yo (advanced) riders all got up and rode it ropeless first try.

In comparison to a HL landlocked (which I have) the coaster kicks it butt for smaller and medium wakes (I would assume all). In comparison to a doomswell neo for thrashing, lip riding, and the more aggressive stuff there is no surprise that the neo kicks butt at that, but the coaster allows for some hell and toe to ride up and down the wake vs. having to cut up and down with the neo. The Neo and Coaster have earned permanent spots on my boat to cover most anybody.

Quick review of @J-RAD and his transomwatersports biz. Full disclaimer, I paid the same as anyone else on this site and my review of the board and his biz is just me being helpful to others. He is responsive, helpful, and shipped same day. What more could you ask for? So glad we have great vendors here who will take of us so I felt obliged to return the favor. Hopefully this helps someone.

Thanks for the kind and honest review. I feel lives up to the hype. I'm glad it's worthy of that spot on your boat, that's awesome!

I'm going to surf it this Saturday. My dealer is doing a free lunch and swag day at the local lake and they're bringing a 2019 Supra SL and a 2019 MasterCraft for boat rides. Should be a fun day and can't wait to ride that SL wave!
