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.

Features:
Progressive rocker – 3 stage pop, with continuous predictability.
DELTA base – board rides higher and a lot faster.
Wide tip/tail/mid section – for explosive pop off the wake.
Molded-in fins – for outstanding tracking and stability.
Double concave hull – helps soften landings.
Vented channels – helps prolong the life of the deck.
Crook fins – gives the deck a stronger edge hold when used.

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.

Features:
3-Stage rocker – gives the board huge pop off the wake.
8 Molded-in fins – outstanding tracking and stability.
Swallow tail – allows the board to release easily off the wake.
Cupped rails – super strong edge hold.

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.

Progressive rocker – 3 stage pop, with continuous predictability.
