Has anybody rode the new LF TC CUSTOM??

[What she said]

I think im gonna pull the trigger on this board today. Any input would be most helpful!

I heard they are decent. How much does it cost? I'm always skeptical on ANY wakeboard company boards as none of them ride all that great. Check out some of these boards: http://www.thewalkerproject.com/inve...rf-boards.html

The TC CUSTOM is $450, and i can exchange it if i dont like it, and thats a big plus for me cause nobody demo's the high-end stuff! I have been looking at everthing, but i just cant drop $600-800 on something i may NOT like. I have only rode 2 surf style boards, and i did not care for them, so i want to stick with a skim style board. I wish the site would put together a trade your board day at the lake. What do you ride, and why do you like it?

[Timmy!]

If you like skim, look at the Inland Surfer Keenan Flegel pro model or the Phase 5 boards. I just sold a Phase 5 prop and my other board was an Inland Surfer Yellow Loogey.

I am anxious to bust out CMS's demo TC Custom. Hopefully i can get on it soon and do a little review.
Standard glassed skims are pretty rare because of flex and strength issues, but it seems to be over built to make up for it. It is quite heavy for a glassed board, but it should make it last longer and not get soft as fast.

I am really interested in how the channel will effect a skim.

If you like skim, then I am positive you would love a Phase 5 Carbon Pro or Diamond (in the correct size, of course). They are super fast, light, stiff, poppy, durable, and most of all proven

I'd say that is sound advice.

wakemitch, i looked at Phase 5 Carbon Pro or Diamond, but is that board based off the same shape as the Prop??? I have rode a Phase 5 Prop many times, and it was okay...

[NICKYPOO]

Different tail shape. Different construction as well (I believe).

[wakemitch]

The construction is totally different which makes the board ride way better
Also, if you go with the Diamond it is even faster than the Pro Carbon because cause of its wide tail. They are so much more responsive than the lower line of phase 5s (or pretty much any skim style wakesurf period), and the carbon gives them a great snap off the wake.

If you have a Prop, I would think that it would be on the same level as the TC Custom. The Prop even has better materials

Well.... i purchased the TC CUSTOM for $405.00, and will report next week.

Well, thanks for that amazing insight. That's just about what I'd expect from somebody who refers to themself in the third person everyday. Your contributions to this site know no bounds.

I'm definitely interested to hear how it rides. Good luck.

Does anybody know any particulars on the construction of this thing? The website is about as vague as can be.

The TC Custom (56" Large, and im 180lbs)is going to take some getting used to. It turns fast, and will break free easy. One thing i did not like was i had to put a lot of wieght forward to keep up with the boat, and that made it very easy to nose dive. Fun board to ride, but i need more time on it.
