Absolute Platinum Wakeboard ReviewsThe new Absolute has evolved into what
I believe is the sickest board on the market. Using our proven testing process
we came up with a design that makes the board ride completely different, yet it
still has the soft landings and solid tracking that makes the Absolute a winner.
We designed this board with the riders in mind. They demand more pop, smooth landings
and great tracking, so we came up with a totally innovative hull / fin design.
First we shortened the long molded fins. This gives the board great lift and tremendous
pop. It also makes the board ride more nose high to scoop the larger wakes and
get full pop off the wake. We then angled the same fin out 6 degrees toward the
edge of the board, to keep the board on a steady edge. This gives the board more
bite when you cut hard. We also cupped the outer rail to release the water easier
and keep the tail down lower in the cut, giving the board a fast feel on the water.
The large center spine simply breaks apart the water on impact, allowing you to
go as big as possible, knowing the landings are going to be buttery smooth. The
top shaping is even more extensive on the ‘04 Absolute. C.A.P.T. technology makes
a lighter swing weight, so you can spin faster and easier. It also adds strength
to the board. The Platinum version comes with 2 sets of aluminum fins, a .75 and
a 1.3, so the rider can customize the ride depending on comfort level or water
conditions. The foam versions come with 1.3 fins. The new Absolute is incredible.
Hard cuts, fast riding, unbelievable tracking, insane pop, super soft landings
with the adjustability to fit any rider. Get out and try it. You won’t be disappointed!
- Zane Schwenk PLATINUM CONSTRUCTION A lightweight manufacturing process
exclusive to CWB utilizes high strength fiberglass rods encapsulated with air.
The rods are capped and surrounded by an advanced Baydur© polyurethane resin core,
the lightest foam available. The core is then wrapped completely with carbon fiber
and a minimal amount of fiberglass. The result is superior strength-to-weight
ratio, structural stability and torsional control for better performance, and
the loss of almost one pound. Balsa weight without the price. |
