2012 Boards
hey guys what new boards have you spotted around the traps?
|
There's the new Austin Hair pro model and the 2012 Franchise that have already been posted on here, as well as Lyman's final Slingshot pro model, but I haven't personally spotted any.
|
Ive seen the CWB, LF, JOBE and CTRL boards for 2012 at the dealer showings over here in Aus :P hehe
|
Seen some 2012 slingshot.... like what I see
|

Just kidding. I actually don't like those 2012 graphics as much as my 2011, which looks sick, but I'll wait until I get a good picture of it. |
On a related note when do the next years boards typically release? I'm holding out for a killer deal on a 2010 slingshot Recoil w/ RAD bindings
|
Looking back at the 2011 thread it was around the last week of July that marketing material started coming out. I think the Ronix brochure download link popped up on August 2nd. Not sure about the Slingshot stuff.
|
When will 2011 stuff start going on sale? I want the 2011 lf vantage closed toes but def dont wanna pay $350-$400 for em.

Marek and systems

2012 systems will have a new toe cap and lockable highback.
|
Tahts good news, the toe strap on the current one and the high back not being locked up is a serious pain
|
I feel that the toe cap is a step back as being right on top of your feet makes a major pressure point. I thought they were going to the burton over the toe cap.
|
The big problem I have with them is something the toe cap can fix. The harder falls I take cause the high back to slip back and the toe strap to go under my boot. It's a big pain get it back in the water. Also the ladders on these things break loose too easy, I came completely out of the binding last night on a wreck
|
I have came out of them numerous times. I'm glad they actually release though, otherwise some of the falls would have hurt a lot more.

Don't see toe caps though. I'm thinking I'm going to switch to burton EST bidings from system. Much better all around
|
Chris, if you end up trying the burton est binders let me know how you like it, been wanting to try those on one of the new slingshot boards
|
So wait, people are putting snowboard bindings on wakeboards now? Cool!
|
Its happened a few times before, Alliance had a video of someone riding a Response in the snow, and there have been a couple threads on it, one of them fairly recently.

that looks so dope, so impressed with cwb 2011... cant wait to see the whole 2012 yeah!!!! |
Sean O'Brien on his 2012 Paradigm....http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=1&theater
|
If I could demo one board right now it would be the Paradigm!
|
I heard the witness grind was getting re-designed for 2012.. any LF insiders??
|
The witness will remain unchanged...only difference is it is not benny g's pro model anymore. He is not considered one of their global team riders anymore...which I think is stupid. Pros like him and lyman that have been around and are Pretty much freeriding legends shouldnt be disrespected like that. I know times are tough and keeping the top contest riders is a high priority but taking a name off a board that he helped shape and design and promote is silly to me. Wouldnt be surprised to see him on a humanoid board soon.
|
Damn :( Ben G rules. Hopefully things will work out for him.

Greenwood isn't a Global rider anymore? Wow... that really is disrespectful.

Phallanx whole line of boards
Humanoid 1up board saw this on SINE wake's facebook page a month or two back doesn't look like the current SINE boards |
......So you sell a bunch of boards through being a top rider/ coach (and a great guy) have the best Pete/ Ole 7/ Method in the industry- and you get your name taken off the board you helped design. That at best is insulting
|
I talked to waston while he was on our boat at PWT in acworth about his 2012 boards and he said his 2012 hybrid is the best/ sickest he has ever put out.
|
I've ridden a ton of boards and nothing is as forgiving and pops as much as the Harley... Spins better than anything in the world and absolute insane pop!
|
Here's a peak at Watson's board http://twitpic.com/5vgk2m

Anyone seen any of the new Ronix boards?
|
Been keeping an eye out for them... and haven't seen any of them .......... YET that is...... haha
|
This is from the 2011 gear thread. http://www.squareoneco.com/dealer/in...gid=2&Itemid=2
Can someone find a link like this for 2012? |
Dang.. I was Reaalllyy hoping that the witness would go towards a hybrid.. But will all the same hook up as the current.. O welll.. CTRL Here I Come!!
|
as soon as the slingshot lyman hits I am scooping it up.
|
Anyone seen the new b-side
|
Here is a pic of JD and his boots, but really can't see the board:
http://www.facebook.com/kingofwake?s...type=1&theater Should be a lot of pictures after this weekend with Nationals. |
So did anyone get a good pic of the new bside or the ronix lineup?
|
|
ronix one colors next year are lime green and black lol
|
|
why do pros put their boards on on top of the engine compartment instead of on the platform (like in the JD photo above)?i always see them doing this and i cant figure out why, besides becasue its cool..i guess?

Good find! I like harleys boots a ton more than this year's. At least they dont look like the shoes i wore in 2nd grade with pink and blue all over them. Love the new stuff, especially the vantages and shanes.

Here's a shot of Harley's bindings. I like how the teeth are hidden under the plate. Keeps it clean looking.
http://www.wake2wake.ca/sites/defaul...s/img-0635.jpg There is also a few more shots of the B-Side and a Harley's deck on wake2wake.ca |
Not really feeling the Ronix stuff. I guess i dont like lime green. The orange ones gotta be the Franks right? the stiching pattern matches this year's
|
the white ones look alright I guess basically the same thing as my white 11 ones lol If it aint broke dont fix it i suppose
|
although I must admit, the bright orange ones caught my eye.. even though id never spend 400+ bucks on them
|
New Trip looks pretty cool
|
|
|
Some of you seem to be commenting on the 2012 Ronix boards. Did I miss a post?

The only decent looking board I've seen so far is the harley, they keep making boards uglier and uglier.

I hope the Ronix pictures went away because they weren't real... wasn't feelin' the look of any of those boards.
