2011 CWB Absolute Wakeboard Review

Here’s a couple things about the all new CW Absolute. We dished out the tip and tail to give it strength and to make it a little bit lighter. It’s also got a dish top, so you get a more positive toe-and-heel contact from the boot. On the bottom, these little Chevrons help speed the board up, and they make it a little bit looser. They cut down the water tension coming right off the edge of the board, so it releases off the wake even better than before. If you’re on a rough day and a beginner rider, you can ride this board with the center fin onboard. It’s great for you. We do a big center spine through here that’s bellied out. It’s a little peaked up under the bindings to give you a softer landing, and a little more bellied out in the middle, so it doesn’t get beat up on rails. If you like a board that cuts really hard, and you like to cut hard into the wake, it’s a great board from CWB.

Along with the absolute wakeboard we have the CWB Faction wake board boot, it is awesome and light-weight. A lot of mesh panels are built in to give it that light-weight, but still gives it the strength that we want. We also went with a little softer EVA through here, so it’s a little more flexible. Over the toe, we’ve got a dual lace system that goes all the way out over the toe. It has a 6 inch bamf plate, heel shock absorption, and, of course, the heel lock, which keeps your heel from pulling up out of the boot. On the inside, it has Achilles pads that lock in your heel. It’s an awesome boot. Go get one today.
