The Proline Synthesis Wakeboard Handle has been given an overhaul for 2008. It still sports the triangle shape that fits perfectly in the anatomical grooves of the rider’s hands, which makes it a favorite of riders who tried it.

For 2008 we softened the durometer of the EVA foam grip and rounded each corner adding increased comfort. We also added a die-cut logo to the grip, so you will be looking good whenever you pull this handle out.

Try the new and improved Synthesis Handle.

Some thought we would sit back and rest on our industry shattering idea brought to fruition tabbed Hinge Tech (patent # 7,134,928 B1). It was the biggest and best innovation to hit the sport. Period. The biggest downside to wakeboarding has always been getting in and out of your boots. Hinge Tech has changed that.

Now, not only is getting in and out of your boots far easier, but boot wear and tear is almost non-existent. Gone are the days of fighting your boots on and off, and heel lift. Now most of you know what the Hinge Tech is all about. Feet in, hinge up, high fives. For 2008, we continued with the beginner friendly Hinge Tech on the low end and introduce Switch Hinge on the high end, for zero heel lift. Push the lever down on the high end instead of pulling it up.

The new 6 plate features a smaller footprint on the board, drastically reducing the weight of the boot. Taking 25% of the footprint out of the baseplate allowed for a far stiffer plate while trimming the weight. Going from an eight-inch pattern to a six also allows for the new boots to still fit on older boards. The 6 plates also feature a thinned out and completely covered heel cup for a far cleaner appearance.

We also eliminated the middle man by making the heel piece one solid unit rather than the traditional heel rubber covered by a wrap, which adds comfort, performance and trims more weight. To provide the cleanest look possible, we created three closed toe boots for those who are into looking right. The closed toe phenomena can now be looked at from a Hinge Tech point of view. The Zeus, Answer and Tiffany are all using Switch Hinge and the 6 plate for 08.

Now you can rock the closed toe boots for those chilly winter sesh’s. You have heard the buzz. Now try Hinge and see how it makes your ride effortless.
