Anyone own or ride a Mike Walker board?

Someone local is selling a Walker F18, and I was curious if anyone on here has one or has ridden one.

Well I guess I'll find out, I just picked this one up.

Original owner won it in a contest and used it to play with in their swimming pool.

I have 2 walker project boards and both are sweet. The F18 is one of the most expensive in his array of boards. I have a Comp 4.5 and my wife has a S2. These boards are made to perform when pushed. They don't like to just sit back and surf. The more you work the better the response from the board.

I'm sure Surfdad will be on here soon and have the perfect description!

I haven't riden it but James Walker (surfdad's son and professional wakesurfer) is sponsored by The Walker Project.

If you decide that you don't like it, hit me up as that is the board I have been wanting for about 2 years now.

Definitely a fun board, very responsive, and it'll launch the wake quite nicely.

Yeah...James rides for Mike. His board is a bit different than the F-18. I always liked the F-18, I've owned a few over the years. It's got a pretty substantial rocker, both nose and tail. That allows the board to turn quickly in the pocket, as mentioned above it's responsive. However, that much rocker does tend to slow the board down when just being trimmed, also as noted above, you have to work it in order to engage the rails and fins.

It's a fun board, I know you'll enjoy it.
