“From flexy tips for pressing with ease to a large surface area for stabile landings, the Freepress is easily the most fun board I have ever ridden.” – JB O’NEILL
Earning himself the opportunity to create his first ever pro model cable wakeboard we paired JB with Aaron Stumpf to create the Freepress. 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.
Contstruction Features
-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.
-Mid-Body Channels: Belly channels that blend back into the board's base for a looser more playful feel on the water.
-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.
-Bamboo Pop Top: This additional birch laminate sits between the rider and the first layer of fiberglass, delivering the feel & ollie power of natural wood core boards.
-Parabolic Edge Channels: Channels that that follow the board's natural edge shape delivering a smooth feel throughout the ride.
-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.
