The Faction wakeskate is the standard in wakeskates that continues to lead the way in 9-ply performance. These wakeskates have solid features that help even the basic wakeskate perform better. Beginner and intermediate wakeskaters will appreciate the release of the variable edge and 3-stage rocker for ollie power. The wakeskate that started it all still stands strong. Features: Variable Edge: More forgiving and round at the center, sharper at the tail. Releases easy for spins and lip tricks. 9-Ply Maple Deck: Stiff, responsive and full of life. Marine Grade Epoxy Outer Shell: 12 step process that keeps the elements out. 3 Stage Rocker: Serious ollie power.
