gnar420, RONIX wakeboards is a new upcoming company started by the Paul and Herb O'Brien, the same people who originally started the Hyperlite company.

They are no longer with Hyperlite and have started RONIX, they dont have any official product out yet, they will most likely show off there stuff at the upcoming surf expo in sept, so i've read.

Probably around November'ish you will get to see most of there line on there website.

wakeboardnut, no, the WW way is to create a thread there, then come create a thread here about the same damn thing and have a schizophrenic conversation about it.

F**k yeah, the hell with those guys with all the $$$$. Lets go meet the kids at the dock.

How 'bout do both? Idea

Gonna be a hell of a time competing with the (East of the Rockies) bigs when they already have blown their purchasing budget with the other companies at Expo.

PR move good.
Business move bad.
Same ol sh*t from the O'Brien camp.

At first, I thought that Adam's board was Ronix's roam type board. It looks like polished wood. And I looked at Danny's and Chad's bindings up close yesterday, and they look like the comfiest bindings ever. They look more like snowboard boots that LF's closed toe.

wakejumper17, did you ride at nationals or were you just there to watch?

These are the same people that designed the hyperlite boards.. there can't be much differance in the boards other than the name.

I too had a chance to check out the Ronix boards at Nationals over the weekend.

The cool thing was that Adam and Chad were all about letting you pick them up, flip them over take some pics what ever.

One of the main things I notice is the Profile of the board is a lot thinner and even moreso at the tip and tail.

I had a chance to see what looks like the Harf and Errington board up close last Saturday. A local pro is riding for Ronix now and had the board at the dock. It's nearly identical to my wife's Hyperlite Blur. It seems like a refinement of that shape, clearly a carry-over from Hyperlite. Even the tip/tail triangle shape is nearly identical to the Blur/Drive.

I know this is their first board, but it's more evolution than revolution.

I'm so stoked about Ronix, and even if it is only evolution, it's still better.
