2009 Traffic Eco Wakeskate Reviews

Wakeboard Reviews — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 06:23:52 +0000

When we started testing bamboo as an alternative to traditional hardwood for our skate decks – we thought we were just doing our part to help out the planet. What we didn’t expect is that our riders actually preferred the feel of the bamboo over a traditional wood deck. They loved the snap on ollies, and the durability on obstacles is better than any other wood board in the industry. The higher density of the 100% bamboo construction adds more weight to the deck, and more control in tricks. Traffic ECO – Saving the earth one skate at a time!

2009 Intox Grip Wakeskate Reviews

Wakeboard Reviews — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 06:23:04 +0000

Brand new for 09, the INTOX is designed for the advanced rider while being forgiving and predictable for a beginner. While the Intox has some of the most defined concave and kicktails of any wakeskate, they blend together to make one of the best feeling boards on the market. The aggressive kicktails allow for better leverage and power for more skateboard style ollies, shuvits, and flip tricks. The deck shape flows from concave in the middle to convex at the kicktails which provides the correct contour to fit the arch of your foot perfectly for more control on shuv maneuvers. The edge starts out thick in the middle to keep the board loose & forgiving and blends to a sharp edge at the tips for control.

2009 Fuse Wakeskate Reviews

Wakeboard Reviews — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 20:24:17 +0000

Using the same construction as our FLX boards, the FUSE is constructed using a durable base material & bombproof EVA core – providing a smooth, snappy ride. Extra width and squared-off tip & tail give the board pop off the wake, while the 3D EVA kicktails provide leverage for ollies and other skate moves. Rolled EVA Edge can be customized to your riding style. A machine-grooved EVA pad tops of the deck for a grippy, foot friendly ride!
