Review Wakeboards

The Demented Obrien Wakeboards

Information:
Since introduced in 2004 this deck took the wakeboarding scene by storm. Some say it is one of the greatest shapes ever created. First off this board fast lines and is one of, if not the fastest boards in the line. This speed is what delivers explosiveness off the wake that has riders going bigger than they ever dreamed possible. The characteristic most noticeable about the demented is the composite exoskeleton which provides extra strength, lighter weight, and responsiveness. Over the years this board has found its way into so many boats and cable parks across the world and there’s a good reason why. (more…)

The Cartel Obrien Wakeboards

Information:
Brand new for ‘07, the Cartel is everything you have come to expect from O’Brien for hard hitting freestyle performance. Our R&D department relentlessly dedicated all their spare time designing this new shape. They combined the best composite technologies and a subtle chevron design with a progressive 3-stage rocker for the ultimate boost off the wake. Why you ask? All so that you can fine tune your style and stand out in your crew. (more…)

The Vice Obrien Wakeboards

Information:
The first thing you will notice about this board more than any other in our entire line is the extremely wide shape. Dialing in the optimal width without creating too much drag is always the question. The crew at O’Brien worked with Josh Sanders, the 2005 King of Wake, through countless hours of tweaking and multiple time zones to deliver the best wide waist (no, not your girlfriend) deck on the market. The wider the board, the more pop you get from the wake. With waist widths up to 18 inches, it claims the title of widest deck on the market. Aiding in control is the curved outer molded in fins, allowing you to load the line and kick huge off the wake. We incorporated the Crook fins to give the board added stability and edge control no matter what the water conditions are. The double concave base softens the landings while channeling the water out the back of the board for speed. The deeper back channel give the board a loose feel while riding flat and gives a quick, strong snap when you leave the wake. (more…)

The Valhalla Obrien Wakeboards

Information:
Glassy conditions, stomping the biggest of double ups, tech tricks, huge carves, and even those rough days of choppy water. The Valhalla has proven to be a powerhouse in the O’Brien line and will be for quite some time. It’s already become a favorite of many team riders and the deck of choice for the rider wanting to push the limits this summer. The Valhalla has a variable beveled edge which is soft in the mid-section for a skate feel when flat, and smooth ride in rough conditions. The deck is equipped with a progressive 3-stage rocker. What does that mean you ask? That means this deck carries speed like a continuous rocker board, but pops like any other 3-stage board. Just for added kick off the wake we widened the tip and tail profile. The concave hull displaces water upon impact for softer landings, so you are already covered on all those huge airs you’ll be hooking up on. (more…)
