    Default James Lovett Pro Model

    hi im looking for a new board to get, because my board isnt strong enough for my riding(it has been repaired 4 times). i have been looking at the James Lovett Pro Model, i was wondering if it is worth getting or not?

    Well it's carbon, and zap makes a quality board so why wouldn't it be worth it.

    i would say if you have a high end board already, and it broke that many times, you're prolly not treatin her right.

    i do live in a area where there is very small waves, but im going to contests with bigger waves than im used to. but the main thing that is keeping me from getting a boomhower is that it has a thinner nose and tail than its mid section, which i find annoying when im holding it.and i felt that the jaime lovett pro model has the same thickness all around

    you should probably work on touching the board with your feet more than your hands.
