2019 Wake Gear
Got a little anxious and did some snooping...this bounty is purely from google searching.
This source seems to have most/all of the 2019 LF line; Harley setup looks pretty good for once. https://twisterskishop.com/product/l...019-1459-95-2/ Gonna take a lot to ever get me excited about Jobe, but heres something? https://jolygram.com/profile/wetndry...0297_336140374 The Slingshot Australia site has placeholders up for the boards/boots. Looks like Blake Bishop is getting his own board. Boot models dont seem to have changed. No pics yet though. https://slingshotaustralia.com.au/co...019-wakeboards Anybody seen anything else out there? Let the feeding begin! |
If you look at each model on that Slingshot site, and assuming they have all the correct sizes as a placeholder on the site, it looks like some great new options as far as board sizes go. For example, Solo in a 150, Windsor in a 149, Pill in a 146, Nomad a size down to a 145. With all those new options... I can’t believe they don’t plan to offer the Whip in a larger size (143 still looks to be the biggest).
At least it appears they plan to have a good option for boat boards that are not the Nomad for bigger riders with the Pill in a 146 and Solo in a 150 (hopefully a little wider....) I still can’t believe they took the Response out of the line, such a classic. I was holding out hope it might return for 2019 or they might have some new shape that rides similar to take its place. Look like my next board will be a Pill 146 or try out a Solo 150. |
Harley’s board for next year looks like Harf’s board from this year.
|
Awesome! huge LF fan. I'm not in the market for a new board....but i might be haha.
|
did a little internet snooping myself and found this 2019 limited edition wakesurfer. Also found a link for a 2019 Murray board, but no photos available. They are offering Murray in a 150 next year! wow...

ugh... are we seriously back to sandal straps on a surf board??
|
Great news on the Slingshot sizes. Can't wait for the pics to start loading.

Murray has had a 150 since at least ‘17, maybe ‘16.
|
Nice! thanks for letting me know. I saw Harley rode his 2019 graphic at the Nautique Nationals this past week. Looks really cool!!
|
Oh yeah and $900 wakeboads! Cmon.

|
Well, in defense, those are likely Australian prices.
I’m not sure market forces would routinely allow for $900 wakeboards in the US...yet. |

Instagram snag of the new, I’m guessing, Coalition and Rads?...
Yum! |
i love how far everyone goes to get any type of sneak peak!! Keep it up!
you get about a 0.5 second glimpse of the 2019 harley graphic. http://www.wakeworld.com/news/featur...w-indiana.html Nothing seems to have changed to the board though. Still got that funky tail shape. |

no hyperlite leaks yet?
|
I see Ronix has gummy straps now. Guess slingshot did so well with them that the competition wants a piece of that action
|
I can see the advantage to the gummy straps, especially with all the fuss my Ronix laces have given me over the years. The latest lace locks were better overall, but still not perfect. After much use they always end up slipping. I wonder if the gummy straps stiffen over time or stretch out too much though.
|
They stretchy but you just go one more hole, which is the fatal flaw in the ronix design. Limited amount of holes
|
That’s what she said.
Been riding the ‘17 Shredtowns with the gummy straps and they are hands down the best boot I’ve ridden in my 18yrs on a wakeboard. I can see why other companies are borrowing/adapting the idea. Looks like Ronix is even biting some from the Jobe chasis design too. Best of luck to them. |

I hope LF gets rid of the flex track across all models. Terrible idea
|
yea i'm not crazy about it. The pre-drilled holes work just fine and make life a lot easier haha
|
I’ve only heard about the new graphic for the 2019 Slingshot Coalition but sounds sweet. It’s seems like they’re going all in with the Space Mob/trippy alien aesthetic. Gotta say I’m super excited to see what they come out with.
|
I believe the Slingshot line gets released on August 24th...
I’m very excited for the new SS stuff as well. Humanoid seems to be going more custom, which is cool and niche. Ronix looks meh imo. Hyperlite and LF are prob gonna have a billion bloated and redundant products as always. And I guess O’Brien, CWB, and Jobe are still, trying, I guess. Dang it sounds like I’m getting jaded after all these years of chasing the new season drops. Hopefully I’m proven wrong. |
I’ve always had Ronix gear. After riding the One Modello, Viva, and 2 timebombs, snapping 2 boards and all the bindings be junk after a season, I am eager to try some Liquid Force gear. I’ve rode the Watson, and even though it’s heavier then my Ronix boards, I loved the pop and feel of the board.
|
Ronix bindings have the worst laces... i havent seen one pro at my cable that didnt replace em with something else...
so i guess they had to do something. also the quality of the boots is pretty meeh in relation to the pricepoint. The Slingshot board from above is the new "Blake Bishop" not the coalition. If you rotate your head to the left you can read "Bishop" the other way around it says Blake. |

yO, Bryce, LF boards are a tad bit heavier but on the water it really doesn't make a difference. If you can't do a H or T 3 on a Ronix, you can't do it on anyboard. LF Boards ride so smooth. The Watson shape is a little mellower than the other boards in their line. If you like the Watson (or classic now) you will probably like the RDX. The RDX is the predecessor to the Classic. LF is good sh** man, i've riden LF for about 4 years now. My first board was an LF squirt way back in the day, then rode a hyperlite 04 Parks, then rode a transcend 2009 CWB for 6 months but then it broke real fast, then a 2011 Ronix Viva. LF is where it's at if you want good pop off any size wake, solid control, and a consistent speed.
I don't want to get roasted too bad, but thats just my opinion. Everyone's got their preference. My brother rides a Ronix and loves it, but i just want to give you my 2 cents for whatever its worth. |

Also here Slingshot Australia
|
Hate this years graphics so far, yuck.
|
paint over it?
|
I like the shredtown. Simple and sweet

2019 Jobe Reload Cable Wakeboard

How is no one talking about this new "feature" on the parks board, golf ball like dimples?!?. I always love how they are up for trying something new, but is there anyway this actually works :/ |

Dis anyone else notice that LF doesn’t have a men’s board that is considered advanced? I was curious to see what would compare with a Timebomb but in left wondering... |
Quote:
The golf ball dimples is super odd. After all of the design changes/trials throughout the years i can only think of a few boards off the top of my head that have tried this type of design. It's not exactly appealing, and I've never really heard any of the advantages, etc. Does it still have a camber rocker? With a camber rocker does that golf ball shape make a difference? |
Quote:
The remedy is advanced. I have both boards and they are pretty different. I would say the remedy tracks harder. |

I seriously wish LF would re-release an updated version of the Squirt.

Does anyone have any further info or feedback on the 2019 Ronix RXT? It sounds like a pretty sweet ride!
https://www.kingofwatersports.com/pr...board&group=US |

And ironically it’s not on the Ronix website. More info here: https://waterskiersworld.com.au/roni...oots-2019.html Is this one just offered in Australia or something? |
Looks like Ronix finally released the 2019 model info. The RXT sounds pretty amazing!
https://www.ronixwake.com |
Quote:
No specs at all. Sounds like every claim I’ve ever seen from any wakeboard manufacturer ever and the board looks aton like the SS pill... |
Well they rank it with more instant pop than the Timebomb in spite of a continuous rocker. I’m guessing that means they’ve done something different, no?
|
Yea but there’s tons of boards that do something different than a ronix one...
“Ohhhh we added our secret sauce! Can’t tell you!” Looks like a mixed wood and open cell foam core with a carbon stringer ifrom whag you can see through the top sheet. If so, Nothing revolutionary just marketing |
