Information:
Since the days of the Phatty, O’Brien has been making wide boards better than anyone, and the Vice continues that reality - better than ever for 08 with the addition of the DELTA base. Often referred to as the designated wake hitter of the O’Brien line, Josh Sanders’ Vice has the width and progressive rocker line for huge air and a large center spine to make landings buttery soft. The DELTA base makes it faster for 08 so you can ride longer, go bigger, and sign autographs later.
Information:
The Vision is a lightweight deck that incorporates a set of four 1.0 Pipe fins allowing for very aggressive edging. A vented tip and tail design provide a nice predictable snap off the wake.
Information:
Filling boat racks since 2003, this former Watkins pro model is the foundation from which the Natural was created. Carefully blended 3-stage rocker and a wide mid-section gives this deck a ridiculously big boot off the wake. Bolt on the pipe fins if you want a tighter, more precise edge hold or ride without them if you like a looser feel. Either way the Player gives any ripper a great experience out on the lake.
Information:
Many have called the Vallhalla one of the greatest shapes ever produced, and is a favorite among the O’Brien team. This year we added O’Brien’s own DELTA base technology to make this board even better. A thin tip and tail make for a light weight deck and incredible swing weight. Sean O’Brien can ride anything well, but he’s been absolutely killing it on the ‘08 Valhalla. With this year’s retro 80’s graphic and the Valhalla’s proven performance, be prepared to have one rad day on the water.
Information:
The Local is pretty much a ticking time bomb of pre-loaded pop. With our new EVA core this deck warrants quick response, and a nice release of energy precisely when you need it. The local is ready to handle everything from nose presses to cable park kickers.
Information:
The R5 is a snowboard shaped jib stick meant to take some abuse and complete the arsenal of decks on your boat. Completely whooped on, and tested by our riders, this insanely fun board is ready for everything you can throw at it. Perfect for Watkins’ next deja vu, or any rail jam or cable park for that matter. Or just plain butter it all over the local lake. But most of all have some fun on this twin tip rip stick…You shouldn’t have to try too hard.
Information:
The Siren has all the features you need for fun on the water. Starting with a sweet continuous rocker and center fin that provides a stable platform for learning new moves. Molded side fins and huge double-barrel channels let this board track on edge and explode off the wake. The Siren is a great board if you are just starting out in wakeboarding.
Information:
The System has all the features you need for fun on the water. Starting with a sweet continuous rocker and center fin that provides a stable platform for learning new moves. Molded side fins and huge double-barrel channels let this board track on edge and explode off the wake. The System is a great board if you are just starting out in wakeboarding.
Information:
All new for ‘08 is the O’Brien Ace! Equipped with many of the features of our Pro-model boards, the Ace provides a predictable ride that lets you session the wake with confidence. The flexy deck smooths out the bumps, softens landingsand is blended with just the right amount of rocker to boost you into the flats.
With the help of O’Brien;s unbelievable woman rider Dallas Friday, Obrien is proud to say the Skyla is their first woman’s board to be designed by and for women in mind. This board is for the serious female rider looking to push her abilities and skills to the maximum. On the bottom on the board you will find the same subtle chevron design as seen on the Natural, allowing the board to rider higher and faster for an abrupt 3-stage rocker board. Also integrated into the bottom is the new V-spine for soft landings. (more…)
