EVOLUTION Series – 128, 134, 138, 142

The Evo is the new series that has our team buzzing. Word is, it even got Thomas Horrell to strap on a pair of bindings. The idea was to design a faster more performance oriented Rhythm. What it turned into was one of our best boards yet. The team has been claiming this to be the most versatile board we’ve designed. Super smooth, super fast, and super energized. The wakeboard has definitely evolved over the years, and this is the next phase.

GRIND Series (new) – 34 – more to come

Our team has been sliding for years now, so it’s about time we’ve figured out how to make their boards last longer. The grind series is our first series designed to protect your ride from the wear and tear of obstacles. While you may never go to the Projects in Orlando to slide with Shane, Leatherman, or the rest of the crew, you can definitely get rails built in your own backyard. The Grind series is simple, with a sintered base that protects the board, but it’s this design that has withstood the rigors our team has put it through. Put it through your own test.
  • Durable sintered P-tex bottom
  • A board built for sliding
  • Low profile, long base fin
  • Provides hold without hanging up on sliders

TRIP Series - 28, 33.5, 38, 43

Arguably the most successful board series in wakeboarding ever. The Trip was Gregg and Jimmy’s brainchild, and expanded into our most popular and talked about series. The Trip’s have changed the way that people think about board design, forever. The fin configuration, bottom concaves, and outline have been blended perfectly to create the most dynamic board the world has grown to love.
  • The family of boards that started the multi fin revolution
  • Now at a lower price for 2002

HELIX Series – 134 (new), 139, 139 LB

The Shawn Watson quiver of wakeboards

The Helix is not your ordinary wakeboard. Designed for those riders with a different style of riding. Shawn Watson is this type of rider, and his Helix’s have allowed his riding to explode on to the scene. The Helix requires precise edging with a tail-heavy approach to the wake. It’s our most unique and wild ride, and many have sworn by it. Huge lift, smooth transitions up the wake, and a soft feel allow riders like Shawn to take their Helix and their riding to the upper deck.

BALANCE Series – 135, 140

The new Gregg Necrason pro model

This is Gregg’s 3rd pro model, and after 6 years of working with Jimmy Redmon he’s grown very particular about what he wants. The goal with this series was to make a board that could turn and edge harder and faster than his Trip. While doing this, he didn’t want to take away from the amount of lift off the wake that he gets, or take away the ability to break it loose when needed. Gregg’s had the most to do with the progression of our boards over the years, and this series is no different, as it will bring control and balance to your attack.
  • Six fins; winged - scalloped bat tail shape
  • The evolution of the trip – faster w/ more lift
  • New patented curved side fins
  • Superior hold with less drag
  • Deep six channel hull
  • Accelerating Speed and drive out of turns
  • 3-stage rocker
  • Neutral through center for sliding; increased pop off the tail
Sizes:
  • 135cm x 42.5cm
  • 140.3cm x 43.3cm

MSRP: $479.99

SUBJEKT Series – 132, 137

The new Shane Bonifay pro model

Arguably the most publicized and talked about rider in 2001, it’s hard to believe that Shane is just barely 18. It’s also hard to believe that he’s had a signature board with us for the last 4 years. When he and Jimmy went to the drawing board this year to work on the new Subjekt, they had a definite goal in mind. They wanted a board that would stand up to the sliders without losing the performance features of the Trip. The concept they designed is perhaps our wildest and most advanced yet. This new series was designed to match Shane’s style of riding, and it should bring you closer to his frame of mind.
  • Winged, scalloped swallow tail
  • Creates insane speed out of turns
  • New patented long, cupped side fins
  • “Cupping” effect gives superior hold with less drag. It allows a smaller fin to be used. Cupping the fin enables us to use a smaller fin which holds as well as a bigger fin. In turn, using a smaller fin reduces drag to a minimum.
  • Deep four channel hull that exits out the scalloped swallow tail
  • Maximizes the hold and drive of the quad fin setup.
  • Creates insane speed out of turns
  • 3-stage rocker / lifted rail line
  • Increased pop off the tail, great for sliding / no rail hang-ups. The rail is actually not at the bottom of the board. There’s a slight bevel to the rail, which creates a smoother contact point with sliders.
Sizes:
  • 132.6cm x 42.2cm
  • 137.4cm x 43.3cm

MSRP: $479.99

Cassettes- Micro, Boombox, Headphones, VHS

Grip Tape and Foam Grip

It was a simple idea, yet Thomas Horrell’s idea of making a true skate for the water is what enabled the sport of wakeskating to take off. Grip tape and wood, that’s all it was, but these decks have made perhaps the biggest impact and change our sport has experienced to date. Wakeskating is the future and if the Cassette crew has anything to do with it, it’s going to be exciting. There will be many imitators, but there will always only be one Cassette.
