My oldest has nearly outgrown his Ronix Vision 120. Well, his feet have actually. His body is still within >20 lbs of board max.
Cant pass it down as his little brother is just as big as him and is riding his moms; 132 Vixen. (really nice board).
Im not buying boots for a board soon to be outgrown. soooooo>
The Vision is on the block.
This is just about the ultimate in core rider boards for youngsters ever made.
Ok, that said, he needs a new board. The Vision is super light, has molded off-set edge fins and a center fin which he pulled the first year as he likes a loose and fast board. All edge, will not consider a center fin.
So he is looking for a super light board with harsh pop. (Ski Nautique coffe table wake) that can be ridden loose. Oh yeah, it's got to be fast.
Our subject weighs about 90 lbs, wears size 7 cleats, does W2W and grabbed 180s at 70' and 22 mph. Heel and toe. He has inverts on lock on the tramp but hasn't even hucked one yet on the boat. My guess is that the next year will be his break-out year. He rides cable a couple times a year but is 99% boat.
He is a bit brand loyal with Ronix. I cant blame him. Me.. not so much although this board and hardware has held up well above average considering the life it has led.
1) Suggestions for his next board / boots?
2) Any interest in a kick butt kids board?
Thanks much..
John
