Ronix Wakeboards 2010 by sebastian spadari

After making wakeboards for the past 20 seasons, we have never had more fun as this last year – our 4th with Ronix. We sessioned the recession with you on our 5 gallons of freedom tour, one of our owners landed a 1260, we built some new rails in our backyard at Radar Lake for the upcoming Parks Documentary, we came up with 20 new shapes, a whole new way of making a wakeboard, and a complete new line of even more environmentally friendly custom orthotic footwear. We proved that a high-end pro shop specific brand works. Thank you for making us the fastest growing wakeboard company,

DIRECTIONAL R3 TECHNOLOGY

Want a longer, stiffer ride with more snap in your session? (Get your mind out of the gutter – we are talking about this lively new creation)

ALL TERRAIN VERSATILITY CONSTRUCTION

For the past couple of seasons, Parks Bonifay, Danny Harf, and Chad Sharpe have been experimenting with different constructions of carbon woven layups in their pro models. For 2010 the Ibex, One and Viva collection all come with our new Rider, Response, Reinforcement technology.

WHAT IS IT?

KRYPTO CABLE Different fibers are brewed up, and then woven together to make a compound stronger than any sidewall

This expensive fiber has a high tensile strength, lower overall weight and low thermal expansion.

WHAT DOES THAT DO?

material we have ever tested. The Krypto Cable (blue dot in cross section) surrounds the profile of the board and is fused together with our new Mod Pour. Strength – Combined with our monocoque laminated glass (yellow lines in cross section) this cable makes the sidewalls of the board the strongest part of the board – not the weakest. Flex – Combined with the strength of our new Mod Pour foam, and our new Directional R3 technology means a board will want to maintain its intended rocker line thru a transition, trough, and landing impact beyond a conventional layup. A new, torsionally stiffer ride allowing the board to create more angle and speed out of a turn by preventing the profile from flexing side to side.

Thousands of carbon fibers are twisted together and then eventually woven into a fabric. A. This makes a much stronger layup than a traditional fiberglass constructed board. B. These properties are less likely to break down, but they are also much lighter with reduced swing weight in our new boards. C. Ride the board the way it was intended to be ridden. Each board is handcrafted with a very specific rocker line. From the transition, to the trough/peak of the wake and landing there is so much energy taking place stressing a board out of its intended shape. 4 reinforced strips of carbon located on the top and bottom help a board keep its original shape. This means a cleaner take off every time you leave the endless kicker.

Available on: Ibex, One, Viva, Bill, Mana, Faith Hope Love, Dahlia, Vision, August, and the Cortez series.

WHY A DIRECTIONAL LAY UP ON SOME OF THE NEW BOARDS?

Over the years, there has been so much talk about 3-stage vs. a hybrid continuous rockerline. Riders with more of a knees bent crouched position and their weight more equal across the tip and tail usually ride a 3-stage rocker with a big flat spot in the center of the board, known for a huge initial abrupt straight up and down pop. A hybrid rocker usually has a very subtle flat spot and has more of a continuous arc from tip to tail. This style of rocker carries more forward momentum up the wake, and is capable of landing further out into the flats. Riders that prefer this shape usually ride with their weight further back on the tail of the board. This is why we have 3 different Directional R3 series with 3 different Carbon locations. Putting the snap where you need it the most…

IBEX (3 Stage) – Centered Location (A) ONE (Subtle 3-Stage) – 5.5” Back from Center (B) VIVA (Hybrid) – 11” Back from Center (C)

SINTERED BASE The most durable non stick base material we have ever tested on rails without (A)

This doesn’t mean that you have to ride the Ibex with your weight perfectly even, the Viva all the way back on the tail and the One 1/2 way in between. This just stiffens and reinforces the board in that area.

loosing any glide speed on the water. Our exclusive base was formulated from a powder by heating the material in a sintering furnace below its melting point until the particles bond to one another. A higher purity of a compound that preserves its bond over time. No obstacle is safe at cable parks with our new jib friendly base material.

HEAT MOLDED CUSTOM FIT

Lightweight, preformed, heat moldable Intuition liners just fit better right out of the box and custom mold unlike any other type of moldable boots out there. Ronix exclusive Intuition wake liners have set the standard for performance driven, comfort footwear. 5 minutes on the cooker at your local shop customizes a pair of boots to the exact shape of your foot for a lifetime. Flat foot, high arch, narrow heel, or cankles – whatever the dimension of your foot, our liners were made to be cranked up to 120 degrees Celsius and custom cooled to a rider’s hoof. Intuition foam can also be re-heated and molded more than once without damaging the structural integrity or quality. The ultimate in high quality liners, resistant to packing out. Now you have an excuse why you don’t have to share your custom orthotics. Half sizes can be accomodated with our custom fit process. The properties of Intuition foam allow the liner to expand and contract to the shape of your foot, allowing any pressure points or dead spots to be eliminated. The characteristics of this foam will accommodate any type of fit that you choose. A rider with a larger foot in a smaller boot will pack the foam to be thinner, yet more responsive. Likewise, a smaller foot in a bigger boot will allow the foam to expand more and create a softer, more forgiving boot.

The only separation between a rider’s foot and a Ronix board is our new high impact shock absorbing footbed. Over the last four seasons our engineers have been designing, testing and tweaking a new patent pending baseless system. A system that makes our boots 1/3 lower in height and lighter – who doesn’t want the best in boot to board response and a lighter setup to throw in the boat? Our new super rigid chassis mounts to our universal board 6” hole pattern reducing heel/toe lift and maximizing energy transfer.

DOUBLE LASTED

Building a last of a wakeboarder’s foot and simulating the movement while riding is the most important step in creating boots that fit properly. A last is an aluminum cavity that replicates every component of a foot determining the shape and size of the liner and a finished boot. This foundation is developed through an extensive R&D process based on what we determine will produce the best in fit and performance. Double lasting creates an exact fit from your foot to the shell of the boot for the best in comfort and response. We use the most compact and low profile lasts to reduce bulk and eliminate any unnecessary material.

FEET BELTS

PART 1

Our first unique lasting process is molding the liner around a last designed to the shape of an actual foot and leg. This step ensures the inside of the liner will have a great fit right out of the box. These are formed inside an actual shell to create the perfect net fit between liner and boot.

The feetbelt seats your foot in the correct position in the boot by drawing your foot into the heel pocket. These float free of the outer shell to conform to the exact dimensions of your ankles. Heel hold down to a whole new level - don’t worry you won’t get pulled over if your feetbelt isn’t buckled.

TOOL LESSHARDWARE FLEXMETER

The second part of our lasting process is molding the inside of the shell. This creates a liner to shell coupling that eliminates any “dead space” or “hot spots”. After the second lasting, the previously molded liners are inserted into the shell and the boots are ready to ride.

RONIX ECOLOGY

Yes, our new line of footwear is a lot lighter and lower to the board than most, but we are also eliminating the use of PVC solvents which are potentially hazardous to the surroundings and human health. Instead, we are using more expensive, higher quality materials that are easier on the environment. In addition, the shell of the open and closed toe Kai Boots are made from recycled water bottles. Water bottles are made from a polymer called PET, which has created the relative abundance of post-consumer waste in the form of plastic bottles. Over 60 million bottles are thrown away per day, which then can take over a 1,000 years to biodegrade. We figured we should make some wakeboard boots out of them instead. The Kai series features a new synthetic leather recycled from your favorite 16.9 oz natural spring container. For the 2010 season, we proudly have 15 new eco friendly kicks for a greener tomorrow.

Every Ronix boot is geared towards a different consumer. Some riders want a board/boot set up that reacts as quickly as they can control it. Others want the flex and freedom of our softer boots. We have rated all of our boots from a 10 – 1 scale to make your choice easier. – Stiffer/Responsive 9 10 – Cell 8 – One/Kai OT 7 – Frank/Kai CT/Halo 6 – Relik/District/Faith Hope Love 5 – Divide/Vision 4 – Luxe 3 – August 1 – Softer/Mobility

PART 2

It took 27 years, locations all over the world and the last half a decade in production … but the Parks Bonifay Documentary is finally here. This tale of a man, his unconventional youth and unbelievable adulthood, flirting with disaster and challenging life, the triumphs of winning everything in sight, and tribulations of incomprehensible injuries, the considerable fun, unexpected pain and the pressure all add up to one thing: his movie. Come along as the life of an extraordinary athlete and his incredible family unfolds before you. It’s a life worth seeing; from the time when we watched helplessly as the sports’ greatest all-time athlete almost drowned in three feet of water, to a broken steering cable on a rickety film boat bobbing in the Teahupoo channel, to the historical footage of the world’s youngest rider on the water. The story of Parks Bonifay brings both never seen before mind blowing content and the untold story of the most highly acclaimed athlete in our sport. Join him for the ride. “We’ve got so much footage, not only of me, but of my parents skiing when they were 15-20, and even of my grandparents skiing in 1942 hitting a janky-ass ski ramp. When you see this you’re going to see a pretty cool story. People will walk away with a lot more than just my story, they’ll have a grasp of how wakeboarding fit into waterskiing, how waterskiing kind of came about, and about how the Bonifays fit into waterskiing before I was even born.” - Parks Bonifay

RELIK REFLECTO BOOT

The elusive Reflecto edition signature Parks boot was poured from the same mold as the Relik (see next page) - with a plasmatic portion of alloy. Chrome foiled shell, woven steel mesh, and our signature baseless hardware forge an untouchable masterpiece. Equipped with an autographed chronicle of the life and times of Mr. Bonifay and a collectable wood crate, on the outside chance that you can get your hands on a pair. Stay tuned in 2010 for the few pairs dropping at exclusive Ronix dealers…

“...The Bonifays, they’re crazy! Each one of them has a unique, crazy gene. From watching some of the old footage you’re just like, ‘What the hell were they thinking?!?’ You see Pete (Parks and Shane’s dad) almost die multiple times doing some crazy stunts and you kind of get an idea where Parks came from.” - Keith Kipp, Director “This is an incredible story of both athlete and family. Literally, Parks has been in the media spot light since he was six months old, and the new footage that is exclusive to this movie will illustrate why he is still the sport’s biggest name.” - Bill McCaffray, Publisher, Alliance Wakeboard Magazine

For years, Parks has been synonymous with big rocker lines that have a super late kick. A signature rocker that gave Parks a straight up and down snappy pop earning him the coveted legendary award by wakeboarding magazine. Our new 2010 Ibex series has less rocker than any shape Parks has ridden in the last ten years, but has way more total surface area than any other Ronix deck. So instead of having that vertical snap with an abrupt 3-stage, Parks has mellowed out his new ride with a faster, cleaner take off, and more stability on and off the water with a shape that is 1” wider in in the tip/tail with added glide requiring less effort to get speed. All the while, our engineers experimented with a more forgiving center variable rail, without loosing feel on the water. Still one of the strongest edging boards in our line up with increased effective edge into the wake from the new longer channels, and wider cupped rails. ××Center variable edge – a sharper rail and a softer bevel create a controlled accelerated edge transfer with a forgiving bottom design ××Tip/Tail variable edge – a more vertical rail allows the end of the board to ride higher on the water and prevents the board from burying the edge on big cuts with a sharper bevel for quicker response into a turn ××Thin profile reduces swing weight ××A clean bottom design - the board lands with more natural forward momentum so we can use cleaner bottoms ××Widest profile – with this much surface area we balance it out with more sidecut than the rest of our boards for the right amount of effective edge in the water ××Directional R3 Technology – ride the board the way it was intended to be ridden with the carbon maintaining the original rocker line ××Krypto Cable- makes the sidewalls the strongest part of the board – not the weakest, along with a torsionally stiffer board ××Mod Pour - this demanding alternative core is new for this year made from our exclusive blend of carbon and atoms ××Sintered Base – the most durable non stick compound we have ever tested on rails without loosing any glide speed on the water ××Artwork – screened brushed chrome top/reflective chrome ink/1 metal logo emblem/1 metal icon emblem ××4 fiberglass 1.0” fins and 4 fiberglass .8” slider fins (slider fins come with sintered base option only) ××Parks Bonifay approval - with the largest sweet spot of any signature board he’s ever ridden

The One shape pioneers the evolution of variable rails. Shallow molded fins, forgiving angled bevels, and a fuller mid rail set the pace of this mellower freeride inspired shape. As a rider’s weight shifts back, the variable rail transitions to a sharper rail and bevel in the tail – so the board can hook up with a strong, predictable edge up the wake every time. Last season, Danny switched out his rocker to a speedier 3-stage kick and landed a historic switch toeside 1260 days after jumping on his new shape with the additional momentum off the transition. The reduced friction on the water will let any soul turn connoisseur upgrade their travels off the kicker - available in an alternative color. ××The round rails thru the center with a new angled bevel prevent that all too familiar edge catching a digger, and create an even mellower transitioned carve ××Thin profile reducing swing weight ××Clean center bottom design – leaves the wake and lands with more forward momentum so there is no need for big channels to reduce the impact on landings ××New side vents – for a stronger grip up the wake ××Directional R3 Technology – ride the board the way it was intended to be ridden with the carbon maintaining the original rocker line ××Krypto Cable - makes the sidewalls the strongest part of the board – not the weakest, along with a torsionally stiffer board ××Mod Pour - this demanding alternative core is new for this year made from our exclusive blend of carbon and atoms ××Sintered Base – the most durable non stick compound we have ever tested on rails without loosing any glide speed on the water ××Artwork – screened UV clear top/2 – 2 piece black chrome Ronix emblem /2 gold foils/pearl and flake metallic ink ××4 fiberglass 1.0” fins and 4 fiberglass .8” slider fins (slider fins come with sintered base option only) ××Danny Harf designed and endorsed

In recent years, a lot of products have made the switch to “offshore” manufacturing – a cheaper and easier way for some companies to do business. In December of 2005, Ronix Wakeboards was founded with some of the biggest pioneers and riders all as owners with a simple question – who does it the best? For 2010 Ronix has all new board technology with 20 brand new shapes, and a redesign of our industry leading line of footwear. Some of the products we make up at our lab - Radar Lake. Other products are made in other regions of the USA, New Zealand, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Asia, Canada and Italy. We have a R&D crew with over 100 years of watersports manufacturing experience responsible for making the first compression molded wakeboard/ wakeskate/wakesurf board and the original wakeboard boot covering the globe. All together we make products in 27 unique factories in 10 countries. A more expensive and timely way of doing business for sure, but when you lace into our new baseless boots riding Danny Harf’s new sintered base Directional R3 Technology One board and take a left handed double up at the end of the lake we think you will know why.

Not sure of your riding style, and just want an all around high-end board? The District is a very predictable ride setting an edge or leaving the kicker. A low maintenance all around fun new ride – for riders that want a skate like feel on the water. A universal arc creates speed from an idle continuous rocker in the middle length of the board, combined with a kink in the tip/tail area. This hybrid curve means that riders with a tail-heavy body position notice additional speed off the wake from the smooth transition. Riders with their weight more centered rely on the additional bend in the tip/tail of the board with the added straight up snap off the wake.

A series of boards that understand your body is working against the boat on a toeside edge - with additional grip for added stability. A floatier ride and a quicker release on your heelside.

Redefining the versatility of board shapes for toe/heelside demands. When you are riding heelside, your body is facing the boat with natural balance. While riding toeside your shoulders are facing the boat and your hips are crossed up. Toeside is an unnatural position without as much effective edge in the water. Every aspect of the rocker line, sidecut and variable rails of the Vault is designed for maximum edge hold on your toeside, while still giving you freedom to break free on your heelside. ××Toeside rail is thinned out to sit deeper in the water along with a wider profile with less sidecut riding higher up the wake with a bigger sweet spot ××Heelside rail has a more vertical sidewall with less resistance on the water, and more sidecut for a quicker release ××Artwork – sublimated top/flock chrome sticker ××4 molded fins ××2 fiberglass 1.7” fins ××Designed by Mike Ferraro and our development team

From the creators of the original compression molded wakeskate - the heavy weight guardian of the water is coming in at over 14 lbs. Reed Hansen needed a stockier skate for the board control he was looking for on the water and leaving it. Ronix spent two seasons designing a compression molded bi-level wood skate with the buoyancy of your favorite wood deck, and the durability of that wakeboard you have had in the garage since 97’. This bi-level shape creates a consistent, quicker swing weight than a traditional single level skate yet still has the stability for somebody just taking the drop. ××Concave - starts in the center of the board and then tapers out the ends for a more controllable flip ××Hybrid Rocker – isn’t too explosive, or inconsistent off the wake, instead more glide speed from this arc ××Compression molding – the most durable wood skate out there ××2 Zariel .8” wakeskate specific fins ××Reed Hansen designed and endorsed

This speedy shape rides higher on the water with a fuller profile and a more buoyant core. A swallow tail shape with three fins designed with one function – to go fast. The Koal’s shape and construction is a perfect ride for inlanders looking for the best in wake slashing performance available in 3 sizes covering the spectrum of surfers and wake sizes.

VISION & AUGUST KIDS BOARD

For the last 4 years at Ronix, we have been making a full range of men’s and women’s boards. All the while our engineers have been working with the next generation of riders on a shape for them. It is easy to take a wakeboard and scale it down to size and say it is a “kids board”, but that is not what our shredders were looking for. The Vision and August 120 are not based off any of our other boards, instead just features that make sense for them. A board that has softer outside molded in fins for easier surface turns, but still has a sharp top and inside shape for extra grip when needed. Longer fins on the toeside allow a rider to stand in a more comfortable position. A 4 degree bevel means cleaner transitions and less edge catches, while a mellow, consistent 2.4” easy landing continuous rocker sets the pace of this new ultimate kids shape. ××Wide tip/tail - easy starts, rides higher at slow speeds, gives riders larger sweet spot for take offs and landings ××Mellow round radius fading bevel - sets a predictable smooth transitioned edge with little effort, doesn’t require a steep edge angle to get speed ××Krypto Cable - makes the sidewalls the strongest part of the board – not the weakest, along with a torsionally stiffer board ××Mod Pour - this demanding alternative core is new for this year made from our exclusive blend of carbon and atoms ××4 Asymmetric molded outer fins – needed additional grip on your toeside as a riders body is crossed up from the boat ××2 detachable fiberglass 1.75” hook fins provide all the grip and stability needed in choppier water conditions ××More total surface area in a kids specific design with a bigger sweet spot ××Designed by Mike Ferraro and our junior development team

AUGUST & VISION KIDS BOOT There is no need for any rabble rabble – just go to your local pro shop and lace them up. If you don’t agree that they are worth ever penny then this next sentence would be false. “A fully loaded kids specific, easy entry, durable design winning the price to fit award in the future of wakeboarding department”. Remember we wouldn’t lie to you. ××Ronix’s patent pending baseless system compared to a conventional plate design is 1/3 lighter with reduced overall swing weight and 1/3 lower to the board for superior control ××Universal tongue – our most adjustable boot fitting multiple kids sizes ××Built in J-bars improve heel hold ××Onyx comfort fit foam ××Articulating cuff – the boot flexes with the rider ××Throw your screwdriver away with our new tool less mounting system ××Eco Innovation – no use of PVC solvents ××Designed from a kids foot not a scaled version of an adult foot

VISION FLEX 5

AUGUST FLEX 3

When I made the switch to Ronix wakeboards and became an owner, I had a vision of creating a line of product that would meet every woman’s riding ability, style, and comfort. Finally, that vision came true and we are making products designed by a woman for a woman. Boards that improve our riding, boots that fit specifically to our feet, along with our ropes, handles and life vests all made with a woman in mind. This year I have created a new collection of products that are a part of my Faith Hope Love collection, we added a really explosive new Dahlia board to the line, women’s surfers, girls boards/boots, and more... It makes me so excited to see girls on the water and to see how far women’s riding has come. My desire is that every girl out there has the best possible chance to learn and have fun, so why not make it easier by getting equipment that will only help? I promise that Ronix and I will continue to grow the sport of women’s wakeboarding with the products that we make. That the boards will not only look amazing, but ride with the fluidity and grace that we want, as well as with the intensity and power suitable for any rider. My goal is to see you riding to your full potential and loving the board setup that you are on. So as we continue on this journey of innovation, what better way to do this than by making you, a woman, our inspiration. -Emily Copeland Durham

AUGUST 12TH / WAKEBOARDING DAY

Rise and shine chicks and bros. All right so hopefully you know a little bit about us, we have a ricockulous (that is a good thing) team, baseless heat formed boots, and some lightweight snappy boards. Not important right now, we are getting off track with why we reserved this soulful piece of propaganda. In today’s age it seems the day is getting a little shorter – campfire stories of the perfect session can too easily be replaced by updating my tweet book account. Not the case on August 12th - it shouldn’t be on most days, but trust us on 8/12 you need to be sideways. A day to get back to the purity of why we all jumped off the swim deck for the first time, or the adrenaline rush of trying to do the infamous trick that rattled your dome last season.

Send us your most legendary moment. Snap a pic, or a video clip, and email us at ryan@squareoneco.com. Write a story about what you did that day that you have never done in wakeboarding. 3 of the most, absurd, funny, maybe even heart warming stories (you never know, you might find your soul mate out on the currents on our self proclaimed official wakeboard day) will be published court side on our website along with receiving a free set up signed by Emily, Parks, Chad, or Mr. D. Harf.

So here is what you gotta do, and you might not like it when the alarm is cranking at quarter to 5, but you need to get up at the crack of dawn and carve some fresh tracks. Make sure your cell phone is no where in sight, laptop, video games and most other “modern conveniences” that you can think of are sidelined for what should be front and center - a couple of 5 gallon buckets, boat keys, the perfect setup. Grab a couple of your favorite chums and make a day out of it. Hit that perfect left hander at the end of the lake, finish tapping screws on that 13 degree pitched A-Frame. Remember no cell phones – text messaging can be evil, instead spend that time coming up with a nickname for your buddy that bailed out last minute.

A new collection of high-end women’s products designed for the way women ride. Not even Emily rides the way guys do – Emily’s new collection is created for every aspect of the true rulers of the waterway. The flex, sidecut, rocker and rail were shaped for the characteristics of a women’s specific design. Riding with less resistance – plan to carve and get booted off the wake with less work.

For 2010, Emily overhauled her collection with her second female specific signature deck. The Faith Hope Love has a slightly lowered hybrid rocker line blending speed, and a consistent smooth pop off the liquid transition, with a bigger sweet spot A new wider/mellower profile with more effective edge in the water means that instead of the angle generating the speed into the wake, the speed and lift comes from increased glide on the water and overall stability. Riding higher on the water means less work edging into a trick and more forward momentum on landings. The latest creation from the first lady of Ronix. ××Fuller rail in the center of the board makes the board more forgiving ××Then blending to a harder rail design towards the tip/tail for increased glide speed and more stability while setting an edge ××Thinnest profiled board in our line reduces swing weight and makes landings feel softer softer ××Krypto Cable - makes the sidewalls the strongest part of the board – not the weakest, along with a torsionally stiffer board ××Mod Pour - this demanding alternative core is new for this year made from our exclusive blend of carbon and atoms ××4 .6” deep molded in outer fins for those looking for a looser/faster feel ××Artwork - UV clear top/rose & gold pearl ink/gold stingray embossed emblem/gold foil/flock emblem ××2 fiberglass 1.0” fins ××Emily Copeland Durham endorsed
