2015 Ronix Kinetik Project & El Von Videl Schnook Review!
Ronix Wakeboardsput a huge amount of research and development into their products and it shows. Two of the best selling and most popular wakeboards in the 2015 lineup are the Kinetik Project and the El Von Videl Schnook. We decided to send Ambush Board Co. and BuyWake.com employees Micah and Mertes to our local spot, Terminus Wake Park, for a little shred session and see how the two boards feel firsthand. Don’t be fooled by the hilarious good times and all the high fives, these dudes are all business! Watch the video below and read for yourself how they feel about the boards.
The Ronix 2015 Kinetik Project
“Brand new for 2015, the Ronix Kinetik Project is one of the best and most innovative cable boards I have ever ridden. After a few laps around the park the first thing I noticed was how responsive and how alive the board felt under my feet. The mixture of foam and wood makes the board super light, but also very durable. The thing that stood out the most for me was how much pop that board has out of the water. The two rocker lines make the board explode out of the water. One of the coolest things is how responsive this board was on features. The stored energy in the board makes it snap off and on rails like a breeze. Read More >

Before the 2015 Nautique Boats Masters, a perfect score of 100.00 had only been achieved once in professional board sports competition history, and it was in snowboarding. Shaun White scored a perfect 100.00 in the 2012 Winter X Games half pipe and set the internet on fire with praisers and haters a like. The question we’re all asking, is a perfect 100.00 something that competing athletes strive for?
Watch below and ask yourself did he score a 100.00 or 99.73?
Fast forward to 2015 and check out Harley Clifford’s final run that scored him a perfect 100.00 at the 2015 Nautique Boats Masters.
Now understand this…we know the comparison of wakeboarding to snowboarding is a long shot, but without a doubt, Harley Clifford truly deserved a perfect score of 100.00. If you’re able to link those same tricks together, then you too deserve a perfect score. Harley Clifford’s perfect score run will forever go into the history books as “the perfect run” and you can’t take that away from him. So to all you wakeboarders out there that want to get into this sport – start learning double flips. Seriously the game has changed. Shout out to Chad Hesse, hitting the first ever triple flip in wakeboarding history. 2015 is already a great year for the wakeboarding record books! Read More >
