Hey All!

Well I am interested in getting a board for my 5m Haka to pull me around on. Currently I am looking at the MBS Core 95 and Ground Industries Prodigy 87. Of the two the Prodigy looks like a nicer board. I need some advice though. Thanks.

Does anyone own one of these boards? Maybe you can suggest a better one...

I have a Ground Industries Flight Lite 100 and I love it! It weighs 14.5 lbs and is 100 cm long. This GI board uses GI's Bionic Trucks which utilize Torsion Cube Technology for controlling turning. My board came with a midrange T3 cube; it's rated (hardness scale) #4 and its color is yellow. The board is pretty turn resistant i.e. I can't make wild arcs using this board. The turns tend to be stready and controlled making the board amazingly manageable in high speed kite cruising. I am using bigger kites now so moving fast and I can hear the wheels make a "wheeeeeeeeennnn" sound. It's pretty cool.

No speed wobble so far but if I break the sound barrier, I just might get to experience it. :D

I have a core 95. Very good board! Highly recommended

Thanks Guys! So is there something specific I should be looking for when I buy a board? I am trying to keep my budget at $300 which limits me. I figured with a GI board I can upgrade the trucks later.....

I also ride GI and while I haven't been on a prodigy it looks sweet, is light and, as you said, is designed to allow you to upgrade the trucks to bionics if you want to. Additionally, GI boards, trucks, and I believe hubs are warrantied for life.

My board is older and shows no sign of rust or wear with routine maintenance. I have heard some riders comment that MBS stuff rusts - especially after beach sessions (but they do make great decks).

The GI Flight 93 board comes with the bionic trucks and the new Vegas hubs and the Talon II bindings all right in your price range of just a bit over $300.00. Get it all with no need to upgrade in the future.

I hate the wobble, and it usually ends up in a bit of pain! I hear that putting weight on the back foot gets rid of it in one thread, and then read in another that its the front foot! Maybe its just inexperience, though.
