Ballast Bags – More Weight, Bigger Wakes!

It’s officially spring (as of yesterday), so it’s time to get things in order for an epic 2017 season. Go grab your ball hitch, back the truck up, and get the boat headed to the lake! On your way down to the boat ramp, one thing to consider this year is how can you take your riding to the next level. How about ballast?

We’re pretty sure that nine times out of ten, you automatically think about the gear you are riding – a new wakeboard, different bindings, a heavier wakeskate, a whole new surf shape, etc. But, what about that big beauty you just dropped into the lake; YOUR BOAT!?
Makes sense right?! More weight = bigger wakes!

If you don’t have a ballast system that is factory installed and plumbed into your boat where everything is filled/drained by the flip of a switch, don’t fret. You can still manually fill/drain sacs you have placed throughout your boat to achieve the best wake possible for your ride. Read More >

The Eight.3 Wakesurf Shaper is HERE!

Things Are Shaping Up!

Okay, you and the crew just had an epic morning session and now the water bugs (tubers) are chopping the water up…time to take a break while the “Chop Monster” is in full effect or maybe pull out the surfers till things die down.

By this point, we all have most likely used ballast bags to help perfect our boat’s wake while we Wakeboard. You position your ballast bags, buddies, pets, significant other (be careful when asking here…haha) around the boat to get the most out of your wake. Ever wish you could do the same thing when you surfed?

For me, the biggest drawback of surfing was having to re-weight the boat…move things around…just to go 10-12mph. Only hoping that everyone surfed on the same side of the boat too. I’m Goofy Footed so I usually had to surf backside on the right wave. You pick and choose your battles to save on riding time. Well, Eight.3 came out with a product that is going to change the way you think about surfing. Read More >

2015 Ronix Dealer Days – Recap

Another successful dealer days in the books!

Perfect Washington weather hovering around the mid-70’s, hallowed grounds at Radar Lake, and an exclusive insight to the 2015 Ronix Line. What more could you ask for?

This year I got to take John “Bubba” Goza – our Trip to Radar Lake Sweepstakes Winner – up with me. The Ronix Crew and myself included couldn’t have been luckier to spend a few awesome days with such a solid dude. It truly was an honor to get to know Bubba and to ride with him.

Bubba and I got into Seattle late Thursday night and since we are both East Coast guys, we were up at the butt crack of dawn the next morning – ready to hear about the new gear and go straight into riding it. We were about 3 hours early to breakfast, but I got my bowl of Lucky Charms cereal to start off the day – haha. Read More >

Top 5 Things a 1st Time Cable Rider Needs to Know

Cable parks are popping up everywhere these days and they are offering up a whole new way to ride for everyone…just one problem. You’ve never ridden at the cable before! No worries – I’ve got you covered before you take your first laps.

That’s what I was thinking when our local park (Terminus Wake Park) opened up here in Georgia earlier this spring. I’ve never ridden cable since the closest park was around 7 hours away. It’s not too easy to make a day trip for that.

Boat riding has been my forte ever since I started wakeboarding. In the back of my mind, I always wanted to see what it would take to emulate my favorite riders in all the free ride videos I would watch like 12 Honkies, Hype, Pointless, and several others I have stashed away in my collection where they were jibbing their faces off.
