Information:
The Urban series has been updated and revamped with new rail lines and concave for 08. This year we also gave the board 19 plys for more weight and strength, up from 17 last year. What makes the Urban Series unique is the Nylon bottom deck. Not only does the nylon bottom make for an extremely durable skate base that protects the wood, but it also makes for a more durable graphic because the design is sublimated to the inside of the clear nylon before it is molded to the board. Nylon base material is commonly used on wakeboards and snowboards and offers exceptional durability, Ideal for sliders, rails and any type of apparatus you would like to slide.

The REAPER is a new Skate in our line for 08. The Reaper just like the curve of his sickle has an aggressive arched rail line with a wide center and narrow tip and tail. This rail line makes for a faster cut into the wake. We made this board with 19 ply’s for more weight and control for all those flip tricks. Add this, with a 3-stage rocker and it makes for a perfect wake oriented skate. A sick little graphic with an all natural wood look, at a great price that cant be beat – this board is going to stand out at any shop but will look much better on your boat.

The Pro Model is one of Gatorboards most unique wakeskates to date. The Pro Model was the first ever-wood concave skate to have cnc-machined channels in it for wake-to-wake skating. This year we upgraded the design again and molded similar channels in the board so that the channels would be much more durable. We also used a Nylon base making it more durable for rails and jibbing. The Pro Model will come with clear grip, so if you are feeling artistic you can customize the top before you apply the grip. Have fun!!

I would say my new board; a 41-inch wood wakeskate by Gatorboards is way better then last years #1 board on the market. That board was the Drew McGuckin 41 from Gatorboards. So if you want the baddest wakeskate on the planet you better go to the store and buy two!! I made last years model a half-inch wider all the way through for better wake to wake stuff, because I hear that wake to wake stuff is what everybody wants to see. Back to my board, I also totally changed the concave throughout the top deck. I brought the side concave all the way to meet the kick of the tail and nose. I also made the tip and tail more blunt to add more top deck to stand on, more surface area if you will. My new board also comes with clear grip tape, my own personal touch. The grip will not come on the deck. That way kids can draw their own graphics for the top or put their favorite stickers on, then put the grip over them. There will be holes for 6 fins. Nose and tail sliding fins and your traditional center fin. The sliding fins come with the board so you get everything in one shot from your local board shop. This board also comes programmed to do all the baddest flip tricks you can stand, all you have to do is go buy one.

We have come up with a team wakeskate called the Impalla. This baby is compression molded with a PBT base and infinite wrap technology for a long life of hitting sliders. Its super light construction, Hybrid rocker line and its beveled rail makes it easy to ride. The foam top feels like grip tape without all the scraped legs. The Impalla is very forgiving from the elements that wakeskating has to offer. The graphics are always fun with refreshing old school flavor. The reason we named it the Impalla is that the board has that comfortable feel that and old school Impalla would have. So if you want a long lasting easy ride for your wakeskate then you should role out a new Impalla and take a cruise.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Ryan Doyle, one of the industry’s rail masters and a wakeskate coach at the Projects. Ryan’s continuous determination to stick new tricks is masked by his laid back attitude. Always the first to try something new, Ryan knew exactly what he wanted in compression molded wakeskate, a large radius base edge, with small tracking lines parallel to the outer profile of the board. A huge flat spot in the middle helps Ryan to ride on any obstacle. While the advanced composite construction offers a skate that can handle even Ryan’s abuse.

Here is a little input from Ryan himself:

“The Doyle is the newest shape in the Gator wakeskate line. This board is compression molded and has been built up to give the rider nice concave and skateboard style tip and tails. It’s designed to ride high and feel like a bi-level but have the strength of a PBT compression single board. It’s 41” long 16” wide with a mellow deep channel to give you a little extra grip when jumping wake to wake. This board can be ridden by anyone in any aspect of the sport, wake, flat, or rails. With this boards strength and design it might be the last wakeskate you ever buy.”

Derived from our woman team riders Savannah Barber, and Megan McNeil. The 80-D 41 is the lightest wooden concave wakeskate in the line, weighing in at 7 pounds. This boards lightweight 17 ply design has a easier learning curve than heavier boards. While the design of the 80-D’s concave top deck and 3 stage rocker is aggressive enough to bust a multitude of new tricks. This Skate also has sharper cupped rail that makes it more forgiving on edge. The graphic has a unique glow in the dark feature as well. If you are an advocate skate boarder and you want to start wakeskating this the board you want to buy.

Gatorboards is proud to introduce Matt Manzari’s new signature pro-model the Deuce Pop for the second year in a row. With many advances of the Bi-Level we here at Gatorboards are excited to announce that this year the Deuce Pop is more durable then ever before. For 08 we gave the deuce all new gator flat head hardware that wont strip the wood top deck. With compression molded bottom that will make for many fun days on the water.

RIDER QUOTE: The Deuce pop has been a great board. Last year we made a few changes that improved the boards “POP” and the way it holds edge. We were also able to greatly improve its durability from a construction standpoint.

This year, for 08, the new board is awesome. The weight of the board is a perfect balance that is heavy enough that the tricks carry through because of the swing weight and it is not easily caught in the wind but it is light enough to where it doesn’t feel heavy on your feet or hinder some of the most technical tricks. We are already experimenting with different fin setups to continue to enhance its already powerful design. In my opinion, I think the Deuce Pop is the leader in design and performance amongst the line-up of Bi-level designs.
