Back in spring 2006, Aaron Reed put some pressure on our design department to create a wakeskate shape that worked for himself, as well as his friend Mr. Hampson. With his midseason release in 2006, a board was created that met his demands. We built a board that popped and tracked good enough for Aaron to land his backside big-spins wake to wake, as well as 3 shuvs across the wake. Danny was more stylish than ever as he slashed across the world’s wakes. For 2008, the shape has remained consistent to what these guys and skaters around the world loved… true skate feel! If you’re a fan of Danny Hampson’s smooth style we’ve got the 40 and 41 models. If you’re a fan of how big Aaron goes, the 42 is the one for you. Either way, we’ve got a board for you… get ready for more pop than you’ll know what to do with! Aaron Reed asymmetrical Shape -Wider and more squared off in the nose than our previous designs. The board tracks better, releases from the water quicker, and is more stable underfoot. Variable Edge -More forgiving and round at the center, sharper at the tail. Shuv away! 3D Concave Top Deck -Shaped to better lock your feet in an aggressive ollie position as well as provide increased heel and toe response. Makes any lip tricks easier and gives feet more feel and control of the deck. Improved US Marine Grade Epoxy Outer Seal -12 step process in our new Southern California factory that keeps the elements out and makes these boards more durable than any wood decks in the market. Aggressive 3 Stage Rocker -Serious Snaps!
