2006 O'Brien Valhalla 133
The Valhalla incorporates one of the most radical ideas in wakeboarding! Four removable aluminum Crook fins in each corner of the board are out of the way when you don't need them and when on edge they bite like no other. While the board is flat, the rocker allows the Crook fins to be out of the water giving it a loose feel.
The Valhalla has a variable-beveled edge which is soft in the midsection for a floaty feel when flat and a smooth ride in choppy conditions. The dual molded fins have a refined profile for minimal lift and drag. The Valhalla has a progressive rocker for the speed of a continuous rocker and the pop of a three-stage rocker. It also has a wide tip and tail for a strong riding platform and added pop off the wake. This board will not only send you hurling off the wake, you will have a softer landing due to the double concave hull. The composite deck adds strength as well as reduces weight. Sean O'Brien: "The qualities that I look for in a wakeboard include a consistent explosive pop, soft landings, responsive edging and the board's ability to ride smoothly in rough conditions. In every aspect, the Valhalla has outshined every other board that I have ridden. Besides surpassing my expectations, the board has surprised me with its versatility. Not only is it suitable for any level of riding, but is also works for a variety of riding styles. Just look at the differences in the way Nadolski and I ride."
