Review Wakeboards

The System has been designed with the intermediate level wakeboarder in mind, but is equipped with high performance features that won’t hold you back as you learn new moves. Predictable continuous rocker and single center fin provide a classic on-water feel – with added control enhanced by huge double barrel channels and small molded fins. With four sizes ranging from 119cm to 140 cm, the system has you covered no matter what size you are.

The Valhalla continues to be a popular choice of our pro riders and for good reason. The progressive rocker line keeps the pop predictable, the full rail through the midsection keeps the board loose & floaty when flat, and the tapered tip & tail provide the edge bite you need when carving. This year we added a 127cm board to the line so the groms can rip with the Valhalla. Shape by Chris Johnson.

Even if you’re not big on rails, this buttery soft deck is all about fun, great for butterslides and just a change of pace. Made with our bullet-proof EVA core, this deck is ready to take whatever you can throw at it.

An instant classic the day it hit the water – the Player has helped more people ride better than we can count. Super wide tip & tail combined with aggressive 3-stage rocker reward that tail-heavy rider looking for maximum vert pop. Quad molded fins provide control so most riders can ride with the center fin removed. Shape by Daniel Watkins and Chris Johnson

Arguably the most balanced board in our line and our flagship deck in 08, the Natural is a board that almost anyone can ride and feel “natural” right away. The full profile and performance blended 3-stage rocker provides the kick pros are looking for, the DELTA base keeps it fast, and the quad molded fins at each end provide traction in any conditions.

This twin tip freestyle flex deck is constructed exactly like its brother the R5 with the EVA core. Unlike the R5, the Local carries a more wake-to-wake mentality with the same characteristics and ability to nose press and flex for all that crazy fun at the rail jams and cable park.

Out of all the boards in the OBRIEN line, the CODA is the “wild one”. Equipped with the DELTA base, it’s one of the fastest boards and is combined with our most abrupt 3-stage rocker in the line. Quickly becoming a favorite of our team riders, the CODA is ideal for the aggressive rider looking for explosive 3-stage pop off the wake.

The Clutch is all about clean, smooth riding on the water. We’ve kicked up the 3-stage rocker a bit giving the Clutch a mellower cut to the wake but with more boost – while the completely smooth flat spot in the middle of the board provides maximum pop for your effort. Dual molded –in fins allow progressive rippers to take out the center fin and still be in control. Shape by Cobe Mikacich and Chris Johnson

The Vice continues to evolve! Last year we added our signature DELTA base, this year it’s 100% finless, reflecting the Vice’s freeride feel. With a wide profile designed to be ridden 4 to 5 cm shorter than a standard deck, the Vice is for riders who prefer a mellower cut to the wake – using the board’s surface area and huge progressive rocker line to generate pop. The Vice also excels for riders preferring higher boat speeds, where it’s width provides a stable platform, huge pop, and soft landings when taken into the flats Graphic Treatments: Carbon Inlay.

Dallas Friday’s Skyla is one of the first boards on the market designed exclusively for female riders. A fast 3-stage rocker line and Delta base, slightly pulled-in tip and tail, and full length step-down rail enhance performance for riders with smaller feet and lighter rider weight. Slightly inset molded fins generate more board angle when edging, resulting in a more secure edge to the wake. Fast, light, and fun! Graphic Treatment: Custom textured top & Crystal inlays.

The 2009 Decade is the 3rd generation of Daniel Watkins’ signature boards and represents almost 10 years of collaborative wakeboard development. Just as the Natural incorporated everything good about the Player and made it better, the Decade builds on the Natural. Featuring a wider profile tip-to-tail, the next generation DELTA base, refined molded fins and the biggest rolled edge in our line, the Decade provides catch-free edge response with more pop than ever before.

Scott and Butch have done it again! The Byerly Monarch is the newest addition to the family. With input from Robby, Ross, and Kyle, Butch set out to build his best shape yet. Beginning with a mellow blended 3-stage rocker and shorter 9¾” molded fins, this shape is faster and releases off the wake quicker than previous Byerly models. New molded footbed contours keep the board rigid in the center to maintain the rocker line for consistent pop. The board then blends into a lean tip and tail for maximum flex and snap off the wake and when initiating edges. In addition to the new shape, the Monarch also features fully machined Atomic Core. This material is lighter, snappier, and stronger than traditional foam core boards. At 6½ lbs. this is Scottï¾’s lightest shape to date and one of the lightest on the market.
