Torn up equipment this season!

I was just sitting in my garage tonight and looking at all of my wakeboarding gear and thought man I went through some money this year.

1. My handle is all torn up
2. I tore the heels of two pairs of bindings
3. My Ibex has hairline fractures all over it and looks ten years old.
4. I have scratched both sides of the decals on my boat.

Its been a great season!

Two snapped boards, pair of broken bindings, torn up handle and a couple of wet broken iPods.

fun season forsure

oh yeah, I also ruined my wifes Ipod!

one broken board, couple tears in the upholstery, stolen stereo, engine hatch came flying off going down the lake a few weeks ago, broken bungie on a board rack, blew out a pair of bindings, destroyed a vest, i'm pretty sure that's it iv'e put over 300 hours on my boat and i'm still racking em up it's been a rough season but it's been an awesome one!!!

1. 3 broken boards
2. 3 sets of blown out bindings
3. 2 wore out handles
4. 1 tore up rope
5. 1 destroyed life jacket
6. 1 bent up prop (thanks tropical storm debris)
All my stuff got replaced Thanks Performance Ski and Surf!

Sorry, hyjack, Scott- what broke those boards?

How do you destroy a vest??

Broke 4 boards and my boots are shot! but im still ridin them some how.. Good ole watsons!! My handle is pretty thrashed too but that what 2 seasons will do to it

All in all.. GOOD YEAR! but its not over yet!

i was trying tantrums and somehow when was landing on my head the buckle on my baller vest pulled completley out of the neoprene and then shredded the zipper but good ol' jetpilot took care of me and replaced it no questions asked!

1 broken handle/rope because a friend ran over them with our boat.
1 broken board because we tried to see who go do a backroll with the least amount of air
1 broken heart because the season is over in the north

My ibex also has hairline fractures all over it. It looks terrible and really pisses me off because I have been more then careful with it. Also, I let some friends use my handle some and they dinged it up pretty good. I don't suppose Ronix will do anything about the spider cracks ? I know some of the older ronix one's did this too ?

-Blackberry Curve (water damage)
-Watson bindings have superficial peeling but still structurally sound
-nick on the board from dock start

Broke one board

My CWB Factions/Embers still look like they are barely broken in. They held up better than any other binding I have owned.

Blew out the heel on my Transits, and the very next day broke the mounting plate on a pair of Ronix One's.

cable lake took 5 boards, mostly the booter, better them then my knees though, 3 pairs of boots, Love it or leave... love it

I just remembered this one. I just bought new sunglasses and had them on while putting my board on. My wife says "sunglasses", I turned and tossed them to her and they went right in the lake. She was upset but I replaced them that day

Logan - who cares what it looks like, that board shreds!

-broke the stereo & windshield in the boat from hittin too many double ups (been riding music-less since June)
-went thru 3 ropes and handles(from use)
-1 prop

i'm sure there's more just cant remember

jr you cant remember the rope and handle taken from the fire at the last DRA lol
that is if your accounting for ur whole crews stuff lol

Tonis!!!

no i didnt even think ab that one. that one was retired last season but it kept gettin put back in the mix after all the new ones got used up, or swalled by the prop, but it was a trooper so it deserved to go out like it did.

lol goodtimes that night

Broke 4 boards, 1 Handle and 2 sets Binders with cracked Plates. Prudy slow summer for breaking things for me.

Where do you guys get the cash to replace this gear?
Some of the damage listed here goes in to the $1000's.

Warranty. Or sponsors.

Philip,

In my case I am sponsored.

"Warranty. Or sponsors."

If you're breaking that many boards, you're probbly covered by both.

Breaking several boards = going super big

J-Rod just said I go BiG! Thanks J-Rod.

I want to know how you "wear out 2 handles"? I ride a ton, year round, and only replace a handle like every 18 months.

I'm rocking the spider cracks in my Ronix One as well but the bindings have actually held up surprisingly well. After 2 pairs of Murrays and 2 pair of 3ds last year I believe I'm stickin with the Ones for a while.

or BEING super big

haha...that too

1 board, 1 pair of bindings, 1 vest, 2 handles, 2 ropes

not to bad considering we ride 5 times a week during the summer

Does anyone know BG? If so lets see everything he has destroyed! I love the picture of the handle through the wakeboard...

J-Rod what's the broken board count for Kong this year, I will guess 10.

three broken boards and one binding, all got replaced

Robot(k9fxr) as it is said here going big breaks boards and bindings.

2 Hyperlite Tributes be it with laminate/snappage
1 Slingshot Response cause I broke the binders off, and stripped some inserts
CWB Vapors Busted
PB Floyds broken off the base plate completley

1 ripped vest
1 ruined board---I get the idiot award for this one. Forgot to strap the rack and the board fell off, hit the concrete and was run over by the trailer. Oh yeah, this was backing down the ramp. I even road it ruined!! Sweet

Not me but one of my kids.
9 boards
2 wakeboard ropes
1 chin 5 stitches

BG has a stack of broken boards at the house. He's probably around 8-9 for the summer and a pair or two of bindings.

He's got some of the strangest breaks too. the handle thru the board is classis, he also punched the corner off of one coming down off a dub earlier this year. hahah

Broke ronix one base plates twice.
Broke older 3ds boots. (heel ripped off plate)
Broke 2 lymans
Premier handle thrashed (still using it though)
Oh and last but not least I think Im still retarded from the concussion I got 2 months ago.

Drysuit seals, binding laces and two bungees....

And I was griping about it! ....Got the replacements BTW, so all is well now.

I've been lucky, haven't really broken anything this year, except for the grip on my Ronix handle is peeling apart at only 5 mos old , and the jacket on my last 5' extension (to 75')on my mainline is frayed, but I usually ride at 65' anyway so it doesn't really matter.

Handle is toast, but that's from 4 seasons of use.
Took out all the running gear of the boat from hitting a rock bar. $6,001.34 bill on that one!

Great year! Missed 3.5 weeks of July from the boat damage so only put 55 hours on the meter. Friends were awesome in putting up cash for gas too!

3 Broken boards, working on my 4th now as it has a few cracks in it.
Did pretty well on bindings this yr, last yr I went through 3 pairs of Shanes and a pair of Watsons and this yr I only went through one pair of ones.
Soaked an Ipod in tea
I think thats all the damage I have done. But the season is not over, heck it's never over for us!

I don't know BG, but this is the best I have ever seen...

here goes:
My CWB bindings held up all year... and are still going strong now! My transcend platinums have had a little less luck.
Otherwise, fairly non-destructive season!

Clayton, I think you have the right idea, add some padding and you have new custom seats in your ride!

I don't have any pics, but I was in Iraq all summer and let my younger brother use the boat this summer. When I came home on vacation I found my boat is this condition. Volt meter gauge was gone..???? The rear ski locker cover was completely cracked. The rear seat had torn down the entire seam. The observer's seat was the same. Boat hadn't seen wax since last year, and no oil change.

+ problems with a recoil
+ D2 broken soil
+ Propeller (piece of wood)

my daughter just said, "you didn't hit your prop this year!", I am going out tomorrow, (last ride) lets see if I can jack it up! I just knocked on wood.

Blown out bindings
4 pairs of sunglasses
one mainline
multiple cell phones
one engine cover shock mount
one rv engine
one mcl and atsfl- not from boarding but ended the season two months early anyway.
