How do you improve the winningest shape in wakeskate history? Easy, enlist the help Scott Bouchard. That’s right Butch and Grubb teamed up to shape everything Grubb was looking for. The new and improved Catalyst series starts with a blended 3-stage rocker line to generate more speed into the wake. Butch built a wider overall profile for increased surface area to give Grubby the extra wake-to-wake pop he wanted. To ensure the ride was not too loose, however, the pair designed dual base channels for tighter edge hold into the wake. Finished off with more pronounced concaves and a hybrid EVA / grip tape top, the Catalyst is built to win another generation of titles.

Coming off the best season of his young career, it’s was only fitting that Brandon Thomas have a board to call his own. The 108 Vinyl is just that, everything BT has wanted and then some. Almost two years in the works, the Vinyl takes design elements from all of BT’s favorite skates and combines them into one. Overall, the Vinyl has a wider profile to create pop and accommodate for a bigger foot. A subtle concave and die-cut grip tape top complement the board’s over all shape. Throw in a new blended 3 Stage rocker line and dual tip/tail channels and you have a skate built for performance.
The Scape series has the traditional 9 ply wood construction for that classic snap and feel on the water. The Scape is an inexpensive, wood core deck for skaters looking to take the drop for the first time. Designed with a similar rocker line and traction pad as some of our high-end decks for the most pop and control off the water. Bootless freedom of expression at our most affordable value.
The Phriction series has been completely redesigned for 2009. This skate features an all new dual density EVA top with true skate concaves. This means the look and function of our signature skates at half the price! The Phriction series is finished off with a fully sealed 9-ply bottom deck for all the feel and pop of wood.
