O'Brien Ratio Wakeboard with Clutch Bindings

As one of the few wakeboard manufacturers who have been around since the early 90s, O'Brien take pride in the diversity and performance of their wakeboards. O'Brien got everything from beginner boards, designed specifically to make wakeboarding easy and fun, all the way up to pro level boards to meet the demands of their Signature Athletes; Cory Teunissen, Jeff Langley, Tarah Mikacich, Sean O'Brien, Max Van Helvoort and David O'Caoimh. Whether you like to shred behind the boat, take laps or play on features at cable parks, or even winch sketchy waterways, there's a board to fit your needs. O'Brien's boat boards are consistently held in high regards in board tests. They are durable, flexible, and utilize advanced technology to help you improve and enjoy your riding.

Obviously choosing the right board is important but finding the perfect wakeboard binding should take priority. O'Brien athletes will be the first to tell you that O'Brien's bindings are second to none. They are very streamlined and wrap perfectly around your foot and ankle to evenly distribute pressure and minimize discomfort. O'Brien knows that wakeboarding is meant to be fun, but it's also a challenge, so they spend a significant amount of time testing boards and bindings to make sure they are just right. Everything that they build is designed to make your life easier and more enjoyable on the water.

New for 2019, the O'Brien Ratio has everything a pro rider needs, but is truly ideal for beginner to intermediate riders looking for a predictable 3-stage board with explosive pop off the wake. Designed with 4 molded fins as well as tracking channels, the Ratio provides a smooth ride with plenty of hold on the water. The variable beveled edge keeps the midsection of the board catch-free and tapers towards the tip and tail for added bite when edging. This easy to ride board is perfect for building fundamentals, improving confidence, and enhancing progression.

The Ratio Wakeboards rocker line is generally flatter between the bindings but dramatically angles upward towards the tip and tail. This explosive rocker line generates a more aggressive and vertical pop off the wake. Built for pure boat performance! Feather Core reduces the board's swing weight for more midair control, while simultaneously maintaining its profile up the face of the wake for maximum pop. The Ratio comes in two sizes; a 138 cm or 143 cm (54" or 56.3") with three different sized boots depending on boards length. The 138 (54") model is available with boot sizes of 4 to 8 and 7 to 11. The 143 cm (56.3") model is available with boot sizes of 7 to 11 and 10 to 14. The 138 measures (L x W) 138 cm x 42.5 cm (54" x 16.75"), has a 2.35 three stage rocker and is designed for a weight range of up to 72.6 kg (160 lbs.).
