When Danny Harf was asked what he wanted to do with his new shape, the answer was more aggressive and explosive. A series designed for the next generation of wakeboarding is the connection between different riding styles and rocker lines for the water's ups and downs.

Back in 2001, we shaped a board that combined the explosiveness and rail-ride style of Byerly's line with the freeride fell of Murray's - Born was the Premier. After winning X Games back-to-back year and understanding characteristic of his deck, for 2004 he decided to make some changes.

Danny made his new ride 1.25" wider in the tip/tail for the extra snap off the kicker without sacrificing edge-to-edge response. The Premier now has deeper molded-in fins that are 3" longer. As we went to a wider profile, the new, bigger fins maintain the Premier-style edge into the wake with moderately fast speed. We removed the full-length tunnel in the bottom of this new board for quicker release and more control on rails.

2.5" Subtle three-stage rocker - A division between both rocker lines combining speed and an abrubt boot off the wake.

Deep, step-down rail helps the board hook up harder through the water.

Wide tip/tail profile rolls over smooth and stands up higher over the wake for a greater kick.

Cupped rails give a slightly more responsive grip into the rail-ride turn.

Two 0.8" P-Wing machined aluminum fins designed for a quicker overall release and a moderate feel on the water.

Four 1.0" deep molded-in fins similar to the Byerly fins for a style of riding that relies more on the outer rail.

Vented channels create a faster feel on the water.
