+1 for DW wing boards -- well into the second season on mine, and it's in perfect shape despite my use of a metal harness hook and throwing it in and out of my car with no board bag. The construction is the best I've ever seen.

I'd rather struggle a little in the beginning than have to buy a new board half way through the first season. I learned on a 90 liter board (I weigh 80 kg) af...
