Blindside 2000– Charley Patterson Pro
“After being off the water for nearly a year from my latest knee injury, I’ve found my new board to be the most forgiving of any board that I’ve ridden. The saber tip generates a better pop off the wake, and I’m able to create more of an aggressive angle coming into the wake with the cupped rails.”
— The first two Charley Pro boards were known for their “curved” graphics. The third doesn’t stray.

Jobe 2000 – Ryan Wolfe Pro Signature
“What I like most about my board is that it has great speed and a 5-inch flat spot, which gives it great pop off the wake. The width and length is good (135 x 16.5) – not too small and not too big. The tip and tail are good because it lowers the swing weight and makes it easier to spin and maneuver. The molded-in fins definitely help on landings and edging. The overall level of the board is: Advanced.”

DoubleUP 2000 – Colin Wright 143
“Basically, I modified my ’99 Board. I experimented with tip shapes until the diamond tip won me over. By angling the tips, it releases quicker from the wake, allowing me to land 720s with greater ease. I also added rocker from 2 to 2.7, giving it tons of pop and softer landings. The down-turned tip and tail edge add tighter control and edging. This is my dream board.”
