Definitely want to know what's coming on high end wake boards. Sad that people think it's dying.


It's not that we think it's dying...it's all but dead where I live. 10:1 or greater surfing over boarding.

If it's going to come back, you need to attract the youth to the sport. Prices are ridiculous for entry level boards, bindings, ropes that are worth buying. (Not that crap from the local sporting good store).

I don't see how a small board company can make it these days.

As far as equipment my kids both ride pro models one is on a 2014 board and '15 bindings, the other is on a '15 board with '14 bindings. The '14 board and '14 bindings will be replaced this year with '16 models that they will buy with money from working or Christmas and birthdays. They will both need new vests this year as well. The equipment is being replaced because its outgrown or showing significant signs of wear.

+1 on the big man boards. Someone spill the beans, I'm ready to spend the big mans cash!

Is the Trident still the best big man board from phase 5? I think I might have found someone local to let me demo one. I weigh 270 and have been pretty happy with the 5'4 broadcast this year. Just hear it's a slow board in comparison to the high end boards and who couldn't use more speed, right?

I know you're checking out the new gear, but what's the scoop on this '16 Wake Tractor?
