The 2009 WakeWorld Riders Choice Awards are coming up in just a few days and I want to make sure we have covered everything in our Innovation of the Year category. Please list your nominations here. This product must have come out since our last awards started on 8/1/08. <BR> <BR>Here is what the choices were for 2008... <BR> <BR>- Centurion - RightSurf System <BR>- Gator - Adjustable fin <BR>- HSE - Revolution Volume Control <BR>- Hyperlite - D.I.N.E. Core <BR>- Integrity - Bamboo Core <BR>- Liquid Force - Vantage Velcro binding <BR>- Malibu - Rider Presets <BR>- Ronix - Dark Core

SINE custom wakeboard!!!!

Is the base plate or lack there of found on Ronix and the limited LF bindings applicable? <BR> <BR>I suppose they both released it at the same time. <BR> <BR>I thought that the DINE, DARK, and FLY cores were all the same tech.

If the Sesitec System 2.0 isn't the innovation of the year, I'll eat my own arm. Consider this a nomination.

yea i am with adam the sesitec should be the innovation of the decade.

^^^ SRSLY

Wakeboarding Magazine Swimsuit Edition ???

swimsuit editions arent anything new they have been done for years but yes that was a good issue and yes it was the first for wbm to put out but sesitec 2.0 takes the cake for sure

Accurate rope shorter devise, by Shaun Murray should make the list.

Sesitec system 2 for me

+1 for Sesitec

Ok, this isn't the voting thread. Sesitec is nominated. Any others?

Curious, David, is a list of previous years' winners posted anywhere (and honorable mentions too, or the ballot results)? <BR> <BR>(Sounds like I crave information).

Yes, go to <a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/riderspoll" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/riderspoll</a> and you'll see links to all eight previous winners.

Guess it would kinda fall in the same category as the Sesitec but the C Rail in the turn at the Projects is pretty Innovative

First Hybrid Wakeboat?

has the 23e been released to the public? or is it still on pre order basis. i agree it sould be nominated if it is available

Hybrid boat fo show.

this thread motivated me to check out all the past winners. What a walk down memory lane!!! <BR>were there no awards in 2007 and 2008?

Yes, the link above takes you to 2008 and there is a link at the top of the page to 2007, along with all the other years.

SESITEC!

I think the hybrid epic is an amazing innovation...but... I've heard that it can only go for a few hours before you have to recharge it. I love the idea of riding behind a boat that makes little/no noise and runs on electricity, but every few hours seems like a major inconvenience. I'm going with Sesitec.

Ronix Baseless Bindings....Lightest things ever!

The baseless claim is not an innovation as all boots used that tech years ago. Them being very light...I guess could be...debatable. <BR>The award should be on it's way to Sesitec already. The 2.0 will change the sport.

Hybrid Epic <BR>MaliView <BR>After looking at the Sesitec it needs to be in there too.

david do you have a place we can vote. HAHA... not sure if you missed seistec but write that down

Sanger surf series

Liquid Force F.L.Y series boards/bindings <BR> <BR>Sessitec 2.0, even though im pretty sure it came out in 2008

sesitec did come out in 2008 but it came out LATE in 08 and it was decided that it would be better to count it as an 09 thing, especially to give it time to see what it could really do <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakerider111 on July 28, 2009)

as for the baseless boots thing. i want to think that ronix has a bit more claim than LF simply because the baseless LF boots are the LIMMITED editions... hopefully i don't start an argument on this. OR if possible, they (LF and Ronix) can be lumped collectively. <BR> <BR>all the sesitec nominations got me thinking... would the Red Bull Wake Lab count as a nomination?

CIRE "da kid" shorts ... (oops, they don't come out till 2010) <BR>and the CIRE Recession line of board shorts <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakerider111 on July 28, 2009)

EPIC 23E is pretty amazing. Waterdork88, as far as recharge every hour. You charge as you go with a VW diesel 4 cylinder at low Rpms that allows you to run all day on about 5 to 8 gallons.

seisitec 2.0 100%

Integrity -bamboo core and urethane sidewalls <BR> <BR>the sidewalls do not break. i can throw my board down on the edge on concrete and it bounces back up to me. no delam, no marks

integrity bamboo core was in last years poll
