Off topic but looks like inland bought day one wake.. wonder if they will start producing one off boards or if they bought to turn day ones boards into mass production boards?

I've ridden the Inland Sweet Spot Pro and Fleegal surf model...I'm not a fan of either.

I really love my 2015 happy pill 4'8" with the smaller big fins in forward slots and the nub fins in the rears with middle empty. Replacing a defective warrantied pig of board the LF nose rider, I asked for advice from spencer at wakemakers and he said Happy Pill, I asked why and his response was "it will put a smile on your face", hence the name, and I could have ridden shorter for my wife even though I'm more than your weight so you can go shorter for your wife's shared convenience. I still like the big 4 8". My wife has become a real fan of the pill this year, it totally changed her surfing and I believe she really rips now. She may move to the carbon fiber from James Walker Wakesurfing he is demoing at worlds this month. The pill is very light for s large epoxy board, but the carbon fiber prototype is 3 lbs or under

Put most simply, the happy pill will find the wave with little or no effort to recover from back of wave or catch your balance. It's like a skate board but much easier, skateboarders have to stay with their board to finish tricks , while your staying with the board the pill finds the wake for you. I never pump to recover with this board as all you have to do is the rear foot shuffle, and wait for forward movement. Just started riding it regular switch backside during my new 180 to 180 goofy combo and it was a dream to do that. As above nose just rounded enough to avoid dunking itself but large enough for superior nose buoyancy

I think it goes in the 550 range, I think the LF Pod for 2017 may be its better replacement though at a much higher price.

The flotation of the pill may hinder beginners at first but once they have clean ups then the pill is a wonderful learning board for beginners because it really helps them find sweet spot and with any adequate wave that flotation and design keep them there . It's not the construction of a boat board , but it served that function more cust effectively than most , now if I really put some effort into those epoxy repairs it would look better than it does today. Recently had to re glue rear pad, but I think carelessness on my part putting it into snd out if surf only fork may have contributed to that

I have been on all the main shapes from inland over the years. I have not been on the new Air series. Has anyone been on the Air 139? that was one board I really wanted to get out on this year. From the shape I feel I would like the Air series. I tend to like shapes similar to that design.
