O'Brien Format 2017 Wakeboard
IN A NUTSHELL...
O'Brien Format 2017 Wakeboard: The consistent, predictable ride of the Format makes it a great board for beginners and advanced riders alike. The combination of its Progressive Rocker, Delta Base, and Center Spine gives the Format a stable yet playful feel on the water and a smooth, effortless pop off the wake.

Design details
SMOOTH, PREDICTABLE RIDE
If you are looking for an easy to ride board to help you build confidence in your riding definitely check out the Format.
Features:
Similar to our Continuous Rocker but with a more kicked up tip and tail, resulting in more vertical pop than a Continuous Rocker and more predictability than a 3-Stage.
Built for pure boat performance! Feather Core reduces the board’s swing weight for more midair control, while simultaneously maintaining its profile up the face of the wake for maximum pop.
“Chevron” shaped channels molded into the tip and tail of the board reduce drag for faster edging and a cleaner release off the wake.
All O’Brien wakeboards are equipped with industry standard 6 millimeter inserts so if TSA loses your hardware or it falls off the dock… Borrow some from your buddy and keep shredding.
