Anyone got the skinny on these jewels, when they will be out? Or does anyone have any pics of them?

umm...closer to 2008 maybe? Laughing

September/October seems to be when the new stuff begins to surface.

You won't believe the pictures I just came across in a facebook group about wakeboarding.. anyway

It looks like maybe this will be the graphics for 08. Possibly the Matte Black finish we saw on the 06 Watson.

I like it...

...looks like the same shape.

And Rusty needs a few more sponsors. I can still see the top sheet of his wakeboard Laughing

That's a nice looking wakeboard.

The PS3 across the middle reminds me of the band on a cigar...

yea it really does look slick... Now I'm finally wanting to upgrade my graphics. Last years was nasty.

Maybe we'll see some plaid on the bottom.

Or maybe it's cigar inspired like FLWake said and the gold band will continue around the bottom and the bottom will all be black or something.

Here is a picture that I took when I was at the Pro tour in Minneapolis - just after the Bro stock when they got to take their 2008 stuff home - it is a matte black top - sick looking board

No picture of the bottom though - sorry!

I wonder if they'll do the same thing they did with the matte black Shane and Watson where all the sizes are the same color. I know Keith Lyman said he wants a similar finish on his board for next year. He said it's been delayed and might be a late summer release or 08. He was describing how it wants it to look and it sounds like it'll be pretty sick as well.

Epic, what i heard was, the delay is because the final prototype got stolen out of his boat along with a bunch of other gear, and they had to go back to the shaping room all oer agiain.

I'm starting to like the graphic on the new Shane as well.

The bottom graphic looks really cool also.

garveyj, Great pic of the new PS3. He was still riding the '07 at Acworth.

The real question I have is, did anything change other than the graphics?

I don't think liquid force is doing anything different with their shapes, except a new pro model for lyman. Their supposed to be shipping out by august, so they should all be available before the end of this year, which is why i suspect they won't be doing much shaping or changes to existing shapes, save for lymans board

Wow, seems early for 08 talk, but cool. Cool

That PS3 would look so sick if the middle band was silver/green like this years shane/ or blue. The dark reds alright though I guess.

Hope people like the matte finish on their board, cause it looks like that's about all you'll be able to get in '08
