JB O’NEILL SIGNATURE CABLE WAKEBOARD
A clean and simple shape built atop a Blended 3-Stage Rocker delivers a fluid feel on the water with a touch of edge hold lining you up for the next feature. The simple flat platform delivers a consistent contact and control point, locking in on features made easy. Longer overall profile combined with thin flex zones make the Freepress one of our most flexible shapes, hitting a Flex Factor of 5. Constructed with our Bamboo Pop Top, JB's Freepress bears a lively feel with insane rebound and spring back.
TECH DETAILS
WOODLITE CORE
The perfect core for park boards with a lively feel and deep-rooted durability. 100% lightweight Paulownia is the meat in this gourmet sandwich, 20% lighter than the competition.
BLENDED 3-STAGE ROCKER
Our Blended 3-Stage rocker creates explosive vertical pop. Designed to boot a rider off the wake, the Blended rocker line also generates good speed into the wake without the traditional 3-Stage drag.
REINFORCED STANCE AREA
Additional fiberglass laminates to the stance platform managing flex between your feet while increasing flex in the tip & tail.
FLAT TIP / TAIL BASE DESIGN
A minimal shape approach providing a solid connection to features while pressing or a loose feel on a skim style surfer.
MINIMUM SWING WEIGHT PROFILE
Thinning of the tip/tail profile for an effortless feel while spinning flat and during inverts.
PARABOLIC EDGE CHANNELS
Channels that that follow the board's natural edge shape delivering a smooth feel throughout the ride.
SINTERED BASE
Our Sintered Base material is the strongest, most durable running surface we offer. The Sintered formula undergoes a process that creates a strong bond between particles, making the finished product nearly indestructible. This base option is the perfect choice for the cable park season pass holder.
URETHANE SIDEWALL
Molded urethane flexes seamlessly with a wakeboard and bonds to top and base laminates for a fully bonded super tough construction.
FULL BEVELED EDGE
An angled edge shape, a beveled edge provides forgiveness on features or butter sliding on the water, preventing face plants and running 360 degrees around the board's profile.
M6 INSERTS
Delivers a more secure fit of the bolts to the inserts, improving bolt retention keeping binding hardware locked down.
