the Green room is supposed to be the high performance big boy board. How would that change your purchase? would you buy the solid red rocket? Or would you choose the green room over it because of the extra performance? Unless the board is out of control fast I would end up going with the green room if I were in the market for a big boy board instead of the red rocket. What do you guys think? It could possibly cannibalize all red rocket sales next season.

Well having a Red Rocket already its hard for me to say what I would buy if I didn't have a board already... I will say that all 3 Inland dealers around me have red rockets in stock and I'm sure they will heavily discount in spring time so that being said I would not get to many Red Rockets to sell.

As far as the "green room" I was told it will be similar construction to the Keenan Flegel pro they sell now but larger... I don't know what you mean by being to fast us 300lb riders have never felt such a thing lol

Depending on what Phase 5 does I am about 90% sure I will buy the Green room...

Ive never ridden the red rocket, would love too, but from what I have seen and correct me if I am wrong, is that its more of a surf/cruiser style board. How does it air out and spin 360's? That's what I am looking to do.

Yes it's more of a traditional surf style board.. but yes 360s and air are possible but yet to see a 300lb person doing it (I'm close to a 360 but not air) reality is as a 300lb rider there are little options..

Is there really such a thing as a board that is "too fast"? I mean wakesurfing g is not that complicated in my opinion.

Lol. The only boards I don't like are too slow.

But in honest opinion, it depends on the wake and the riders style. My Buddy's Mojo doesn't have the same push as my A22. I can ride skim all day long on mine with push....on the mojo I have to ride surf or else I can't keep up.

Definitely want to know what's coming on high end wake boards. Sad that people think it's dying.
