O'Brien - 2010 Decade 139

The Decade is quickly becoming the board of choice for both freeride and com- petitive riders, and for good reason. Incorporating 11 years of collective develop- ment and the most extensive prototyping ever performed on an O’Brien board and possibly the history of the industry, the Decade pushes the envelope of thought and progression of wakeboard design. The variable edge profile is fat through the center 14” of the board and quickly ta- pers to a more refined edge at the boot position to the tips of the board. This gives the board a unique floaty feel when centered, transferring to deep-set edge when carving. The expanded DELTA base keeps the water cleanly breaking off the tail of the board, reducing rocker-induced drag and providing optimum release off the wake. The molded fins are as thin as possible for minimal drag and optimum con- trol, and which combined with a 3-stage rocker for just the right amount of kick. The Clean V bottom through the center of the board makes the landings buttery soft.
