ENERGY
While other companies are worried about flex - all we’re thinking about is energy.
Flex doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have a reaction. From making
the first compression molded wakeboard in ’91 to our first altered flex board
in ’04 ’til now we have only been focused on improving the energy of a
wakeboard. We have used countless foams, honeycomb, balsa and maple
wood all mixed with every concoction of glass and carbon we could get our
hands on. Where does the board store energy, for how long and where does
it release it? Our 2012 line represents the most complete range of different
woods, foams, carbon, glasses and variations of directional layups for stored
to instant energy boards - and everything in between.
STORED ENERGY
Riders like former World Champion Erik Ruck
prefer a construction with this make up. A rider has to approach and leave the wake the way a snowboarder would a kicker or a skater would an ollie. The delay in the energy means the rider is given more time to generate the full lift from the power building from the tip all the way to the tail of the board. If riders don’t have that snow/skate timing off the wake - no problem they will just have a mellower lift off the wake - a construction that won’t kick your arse.
INSTANT ENERGY
Instant energy takes place the second the tip of the board hits the wake. Riders like Danny, Parks and Chad want a carbon lay up board made extra stiff. This allows a quicker way to generate lift off the transition as the energy takes place sooner, with a super firm snap off the wake. For riders that can handle the extra kick.
