There's a lot of talk about the new Gambler. Most of which is focused around the graphics, Yes it has a big black banana on it. In all honesty the graphics are growing on me, and it must be growing on other people too, because there are already a few out on the water.

Most people know that last years board had a few issues with the track system, however, I have heard that north have fixed this problem, and I'm relatively confident that this is the case because ive already caught a few edges this season, and the board is still going strong.

this years board is a bit heavier than last years, and also a bit stiffer, giving it more pop like a wakeboard. I've only tried it on super flat water and it is awesome.

even though its got a lot of rocker, I haven't had any problems in the light wind, which i thought was going to cause a few issues.

Over all I rate this board, and i reckon anyone who has tried it would say the same thing. although i wouldnt recommend it for the lighthouse to leighton race.

Get down to WAsurf in safety bay... last I heard they still have a few in stock, as well as anything else you'll need this summer.


Rider: 75kg / Advanced
Style: Wake, Freestyle
Weather: all wind range (light wind wake style through to mega loops)
Build Quality: 9/10 - it loses a point because the base wears very quickly - this is meant to happen to protect the board on sliders, but it doesnt look the best
Satisfaction: 10/10
Disclosure: shop rider - WAsurf
