Our TrueFit Liners maintain the integrity of the Neoprene all day long ensuring a longer-lasting vest life.

The outer spray jacket’s function is to provide wind and water-repellent protection. This lightweight outer shell minimises the wind chill factor while also minimising water absorption. It maintains a light feel while riding and can be worn as the conditions change. New additions this year with 10/10 waterproofing and breathability will increase the use of this jacket as it’s rated for snow use. Multi-sport riding piece.

01: STASH POCKETING

04: MAGNETIC CLOSURE

07: DWR TREATMENT

You can’t leave your valuables just lying around! Fully waterproof and a with full zipper closure, the internal pocketing on our layering outers means you can keep things like your phone and wallet on you, go out and shred, and then buy yourself a Coke at the end of the day.

The last thing you need in the cooler weather is to fumble while getting your layering on. Magnets snap into place with minimal effort and the zipper flap protects the jacket from wear while also giving you an extra layer of comfort from the elements.

Our 4-way stretch material has been internally and externally DWR treated for reduced weight when wet. Durable water repellent (DWR) is a coating added to fabrics to make them water-resistant. Most factoryapplied treatments are fluoropolymer based; these applications are quite thin and not always effective, whereas DWR prevents the outer layer of fabric from becoming saturated with water.

08: CORDUROY NEO The waiting drove me mad, you’re finally here and I’m a mess. Corduroy style that harks back to the grunge 90s. Why not wear your flannel shirt while you’re at it.

06: FOLLOW HOOD SECURE SYSTEM 03: 10K WATERPROOF & 10K BREATHABILITY. Keep the cold out and the warmth in. Waterproofing is what keeps the jacket from soaking up water as you ride, while breathability relates to how much body heat your jacket can retain. Combined, our 10k/10k combination allows for maximum warmth while stopping the outer from soaking up water and getting heavy during your winter sessions.

Wakeboarding can cause your body to move in unanticipated directions. This means you need a neo that can handle the uncertainty while maintaining its integrity. Our 4-way stretch neoprene moves along with you all season long.

In the times that wearing a hoodie isn’t necessary, like a bluebird day in winter or when your hair is looking good our Follow Hood Secure System tabs give you the option to click the hood in place. This ensures minimal wear and tear as well as making sure it doesn’t flail about in the wind.

PU COATED ROPE WITH PRINTED LINE LENGTHS, USER FRIENDLY FEATURES, LIKE SHORT 50FT MAINLINES FOR BEGINNERS, TO 2.5FT EXTENSIONS ON EACH END SO YOU CAN PROGRESS OUT AS YOU NEED. WHY TIE KNOTS IN YOUR PRO ROPE, JUST MAKE IT WORK FOR EVERYONE FROM THE START.

01: NARROW CIRCLE SUEDE GRIP.

03: INJECTED FOAM FILLED BARS.

05: TREATED DYNEEMA MAINLINES

A secure, leather-inspired suede finish and a classic handle feel, with a narrow diameter of 1” allowing for a fully comfortable hold without feeling like anything is stuck in your way. Sure, you could spend months thinking about it, but why? This time-honoured setup has ridden with the best and never let them down.

This ensures that the bar will float for its lifetime – not just while it’s new. As far as we know, we are the first to do this.

Stronger and with less twisting due to an even number of Dyneema strands. The internal Dyneema is also DWR treated to reduce weight from water absorption.

04: CUSTOM END CAPS

06: PU COATED MAINLINES

We still strongly believe in soft end caps for multiple reasons. It allows for the end caps to naturally flex in perfect harmony with the riders movements. Stopping the movement in the end caps instantly transfers all the movement of the handle to the grip, making it harder to hold onto in certain situations. But more importantly, it’s safer.

There may be cheaper alternatives that look the same, but they won’t last the same. This is the most expensive material because it’s the best. Soft and smooth. All mainlines go to 50ft. Don’t tie a knot in your mainline while your mate learns to clear the wake.

02: NARROW HEXAGON SUEDE GRIP. Same-same, but different. Some riders prefer the hexagon-shaped handle, because it indicates the orientation of the handle in their hands, giving them one extra sense of understanding while out the back. As with the circle shape, the hexagon features a secure, leather-inspired suede finish with a narrow diameter of 1” allowing for a fully comfortable hold without feeling like anything is stuck in your way.

TRUEFIT LINER.

STRATEGIC VENTS.

The perfect-fitting helmets need to stay fitting perfect. Any movement of fabric within the liner can affect how it sits on your head, potentially compromising your safety and your ride. Our TrueFit puts an end to liner bunching. Stay comfortable all day long.

No matter where it is, water will make everything just a little bit heavier, which is why it’s necessary to allow for quick drainage so that water doesn’t collect at any point. Our strategic drainage system works so that you can ride with comfort.

SOFT EVA PADDING.

FIDLOCK BUCKLE.

A helmet that was uncomfortable would be counterproductive. Our Soft EVA padding works in two ways: it absorbs the impact pressure, spreading it over a larger area; and it softens the shock of any sudden impact you may encounter. Keeping your head happy and safe.

The dramas of locking yourself into your helmets are a thing of the past. The Fidlock Magnetic Buckle closes automatically and is opened by sliding laterally.
