The new Ricky shape is out. Keeping all the great elements, we made subtle changes to this shape that have resulted in a more potent ride. This board still features Straight Track molded fins, four-degree ellepitical base bevel and a full length center channel that made this board so popular to date. Then, we upped the ante with newly designed variable shaped rails, giving the Ricky G. refined edge setting ability. And to give this board more lift and pop off the wake, we gave it an overall wider center and wider tip and tail.

RIDER QUOTE: "The Ricky G 2008 signature boards are going to be one of the best boards you have ever ridden. I have made a few really good changes that will improve the board's riding from the last few years. I didn't need to do much, but change the width, the sizes and a few things on the bottom. So the board will have an increased lift off the wake and softer landings. It will still be what its known for as the best board for all around riders and all levels of riding from beginners to advanced skills.

Ricky G 2008 signature graphics have a really good story behind them. My tattoo artist, Kaib Knight, puts a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into making all of my graphics from 2004 and on to the latest. Every single year they get better and better and still more to come. The graphics for 2008 are really cool old traditional tattoo art.
