ABSOLUTE
ABSOLUTE PLATINUM
Chances are at some point in your riding you have either
ridden an Absolute, or a shape created from one. Known
ntial shapes in our industries
short life, the Absolute is again delivered with a twelveyear veterans seal of approval. Knowing what sells and
what is best for the industry, Zane has always created
shapes that not only ride well for the beginner, but also
perform for the ripper. Z
ce
on our brand as well as the industry as a whole. From
being an innovator in the sport, knowing what it takes for
a shape to be successful, and teaching more people to ride
than Ron Jeremy, we appreciate what he does and has
done every day.
The latest Absolute shape continues the tradition of awesome. The ‘08 uses longer
at have a cupped shape adding additional bite on edge. We also
added a turned down rail for additional edge lock as well as a slight cupped rail
to make this a hard edger with a forgiving ride when at. The Absolute was the
hape to use a center spine for landings, and now most every shape on the
market has one. Also, CWB was the
to innovate top shaping used on the
Absolute and now this tech is on almost every board in the industry. U
ex
pattern technology called X Flex, this board has been proven to do what it takes
to progress the rider and spring o the wake better than ever. If you haven’t yet
noticed, the Absolute has continually set the standard for what makes a shape
perform the best. Innovations like spine’s, cupped molded s, turned down rails,
top shaping, as well as being endorsed by someone who can ride a unicycle down
stairs, demo the ‘08 Absolute. It will make you ride better.
PLATINUM SERIES BOARDS
For those who want nothing but the best, the
Absolute, Transcend & Marius decks are available in
Platinum construction with the PT78 core. The core
trims more than a pound out of the deck by using a far
lighter foam, two full sheets of carbon graphite, and
berglass hollow rods throughout. This combination
brings you an ultr
and ultra light deck that will
react faster, pop harder and accelerate like a rocket.

TRANSCEND
TRANSCEND PLATINUM
6
One of the best selling shapes in the industry for
2007 is being delivered to you again in 2008. The
numerous features of this deck remain the same as
last year as it is unheard of to create a shape that rides
well for a world champ, as well as a weekend wally.
We did tweak the flex a tad to find that happy spot
between smooth release and a buck off the wake.
After Andrew tested several, he feels like we’ve nailed
it and provided a deck that has everything he wants
but also rides well for others. Andrew won the WWA
World Championships on this shape….again.

The Transcend boasts industry first fin extensions. This allows the rider to fine
tune their edge. Instead of drastically changing the way the board rides by
removing the fins, this simply changes the edge and release characteristics.
Riding it without the extensions gives you a soft edge and an early release
from the top of the wake. Adding the extensions gives you a stronger edge
and a locked in bite up the wake. The extensions are great for rough water
conditions and riders who are not yet comfortable with their edge. Boasting a
deep spine for softening up the landings, channels carved into the tip and tail
to add a bit of bite, and extensive top shaping to trim weight and add stiffness.
The Transcend has always been a finicky shape reserved for those who are
comfortable with their edge and enjoy the hardest wake to wake buck out there.
This new generation made it a far more friendly shape opening the door to the
intermediate rider to progress as well.

MARIUS PLATINUM

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better...
Trevor Marius Hansen and Doug Cannon again went
into the shaping room to create the next design to
carry the name Marius. With the huge success of
Trevor’s last board and a worldwide love for the way
all know that stiffness creates snap off the wake,
so Trevor and Doug added even more with the
new top shape design. Marius co-designer Doug
Cannon says, “Our pro level decks for 2007 had X
Flex technology, which added stiffness to the tip
and tail. The feedback on the new flex patterns
was huge, so for 2008 we took that technology
and added ridges to the top of Trevor’s new
shape to make that tip and tail snap even more.
We were then able to thin out the tip and tail,
trimming weight back even further.”

The molded fins were sharpened and moved towards the center of the board to get
a bit more bite on edge, giving the Marius a buttery ride, but the ability to lock in
on a hard edge. Even with these changes, riding the Marius without the center fin
is reserved for those who are very comfortable with their edging. The fin box has
been removed and an additional two channels added to give that extra bite while
maintaining speed. For such a huge amount of surface area, the new Marius is the
fastest board in the quiver of CWB shapes. The feedback has been huge. Trevor has
a relaxed style of riding and some think he coasts into the wake. When you can coast
into the wake, and float a method eight feet high and into the flats, something with
your board is right.

PURE
KINK
A huge part of the wake market is the package
program. With the innovation of the product growing
leaps and bounds yearly, it makes sense for a rider to
snatch up a new deck and boots every season. With
this in mind, we have created packages that cater to
every riding style as well as every budget. The Kink
board hits the market for the aggressive rider. It is
a stiff shape that turns fast and reacts quick off the
wake. Boasting long based molded fins as well as a
small fin for extra bite on edge, the Kink when paired
with the Faction and Vapor boot, is a money package
for a beginner through advanced rider. A center
spine, a mellow three stage rocker line, and a thinned
tip and tail will deliver a ride that will carry your
riding wherever you want it.
The Pure with Torq boots was the best selling package in the industry
last season. Not only is it an amazing shape, packaged with the
industry shattering Hinge boots, and rocking a killer graphic but the
price of the package will make you ask “are you sure?” We all know
what the Torq’s will do for you. A boot that all of your friends can share,
they can swim in and out of them with ease, and they look killer. Now
partner those with a shape that was formed around a past Absolute
which we all know is rad. So we now have a shape paired with boots…
both of which rock. A great board for the beginner and intermediate,
the Pure is a softer board allowing for a bit of a mellower ride. Tracks
well, edges easy, and pops consistent thanks to the three basics that
every board in this genre needs. Large molded fins, a deep bolt on fin,
and long channels for extra tracking. The Pure gets the tri-fecta and
will give you that perfect ride.
Team Rider Jeff House
FACTION
The Faction movement was formed last year when a couple reps had
some riders that made a difference in their territories. It was built
around those riders who do everything it takes and whatever it takes
to get their next set. Eating, sleeping, and breathing take a back seat
to everything wake. The Faction brand is no longer just a board and
boots, but clothing, handles and now a shape targeted to the smaller
rider. The guys wanted a board that was a different ride, something
they could take to the cable or rail park and still have something they
could hit a solid double up, or pull a back five off the wake. It is a free
shape with very little going on with the bottom. When something
was designed, prototypes were shipped to ten riders from pro’s to shop
employees. Feedback was then pooled, and out came the Faction board.
A continuous rocker line, very small molded fins, and subtle rails create
a shape that glides across the water effortlessly. A four-fin speedster
that gives you two boards in one, a wake killer as well as a free shape
for pressing in the flats. Get to your local shop and check out the top
dressing. Using a fabric material and a metal stamp, this is a board that
will surely impress. Check out all the new Faction products, get to your
dealer to demand the package.

The best selling women’s board in the industry is back
for 2008. When you create a board that makes the ride
effortless with a boot that changes the sports perception,
then tie the two together as a graphics package it means
nothing but greatness coming your way. The Lotus shape
uses two deep molded fins for bite as well as a bolt on fin for
learning the basics. The shape also has some top shaping
for stiffness as well as a rocker line that will carry the rider
to their first wake cross, or their first podium. Partnered
with the Sage Hinge boots that make the ride effortless, get
yourself a Lotus and see what you’ve been missing.

SAPPHIRE
Attention ladies that rip! We introduced the Sapphire last season as demand
for a high end shape for ladies grew year after year. This season is no
different. We carry forward the Sapphire as well and have created a new
larger size to compliment the complete Diamond collection of products for
the women. The Sapphire board combined with the new Tiffany boots will
hand you a package that not only performs like a pro level deck, but looks
stunning too. The new heart breaker pattern used throughout the Diamond
collection screams style. The Sapphire board uses two long based molded fins
and a bolt on fin to compliment the ride. We have also thrown a center spine
down the middle to break up those landings when the ladies are cruising
their moves into the flats like the Hoffman sisters. We also added some extra
glass to stiffen up the ride, shaped in a cupped rail for edging, and trimmed
some thickness out of the tip and tail. What was created has been called “the
most aggressive yet user-friendly shape created for the female rider”. Check
out the Sapphire. Your stylist will approve.
The perfect beginning to a girls professional wakeboarding career.
The Bella is a small board that has a grown up shape. Most all
kids boards are designed to be very mellow even when the kid
progresses and starts to take their riding to the next level. Not
the Bella! We have built a shape that not only creates a stable
platform on which to learn, but also will carry that small girl on
her first big wake to wake jump. Not too small and not too big,
the Bella will work foryears, not months. The Bella also has edge
fins that help teach the beginner to hold their edge through the
wake, a bolt on fin to teach body position and comes partnered
with the patented Hinge boots. No other girls wakeboard has this
much to offer. Girls, your time has come.

New for 08 the Jr. Faction is just as cool as the full size
Faction board, just shrunk down and slightly modified for
the little ripper. Our most advanced grom board features
4 molded in fins with a center bolt on option. A subtle
3-stage rocker helps deliver explosive kick on this board.
Be stylin’ at the same time with the black fabric top and
metal Faction badge backing up your legit ride.
SURGE & CHARGER
JR. FACTION
We have built the Sol for years as a package to hit that entry
level budget, and a shape to take that first timer up, out,
and to their first wake to wake jump. We succeed year after
year in delivering just that. Partnered with the Mobe boot
with lace adjustment and a split toe to fit a wide range
of feet. The Mobe boot will fit everyone in the boat, uses
all rubber construction that many riders are used to, and
allows for the most flex available in a wake boot. The Sol is
a shape that screams budget and works great for learning,
or that weekend rider that enjoys simply carving around a
few times a season. Need an extra package to keep in the
boat? The Sol/Mobe is your baby.
Team Rider Josh Twelker
Sol
FAZE
As we all know, the board and boot packages are where it’s at. This year
we are able to bring you a Hinge package at a price that opens the door to
all riders. The Faze shape boasts a few features that are used in some of
the higher end packages but maintains a soft flex and a large bolt on fin to
create a true ride that tracks straight to teach the rider the basics. The Seven
boots that come with the Faze are the entry-level Hinge boot that brings the
ease of entry to the masses. Using a floating tongue for fit, a lace system
to allow for the different size feet, and the hinge, the Seven boot is sure to
impress on the water, and in the wallet.
Attention kids, time to rip. We have built these two
shapes to take that little rider to the podium. Both are
aggressive shapes with molded fins, stiff rides, and a
rocker line that will throw them to the moon. Most kids
shapes are mellow and designed to learn and stop there.
We have designed ours to carry the rider further. We use
a similar flex to that of our intermediate packages. We
use edge fins so when on edge, they stay on edge and
carry the speed to the wake. We then added some top
shaping to add more stiffness and trim weight. What we
came up with was the Surge and Charger. Hitting the
kids market in two sizes to keep it simple but also provide
every possible need to those riders. No need to offer a
truckload of sizes. We deliver those that matter.

DECK
BASE
Move over bacon…The Deck was released late last
season to rave reviews. A skate that remains in the
“bargain” category, however, has the features of a
higher end skate. We dished out the top deck to
add the true skate deck feel, but instead of creating
that top deck out of wood, we molded a piece of
high density foam into the shape of a skate deck and
attached it to the skate so to give the true feel of a
skateboard. The great feature is you have the feel of
foam when you meet it face to face on a fall.
The entry level addition to our wakeskate brand.
We built the Base for the skater or family that wants
to give the sport a shot, and not break the bank. A
flat deck graced with a grip tape top, it delivers a
stable ride for the beginner, but still has the ability to
perform under the feet of a seasoned shredder.

BOOT TECH
Some thought we would sit back and rest on our industry shattering idea brought
to fruition tabbed Hinge Tech (patent # 7,134,928 B1). It was the biggest and best
innovation to hit the sport. Period. The biggest downside to wakeboarding has
always been getting in and out of your boots. Hinge Tech has changed that. Now, not
only is getting in and out of your boots far easier, but boot wear and tear is almost
non-existent. Gone are the days of fighting your boots on and off and no more heel
lift. Now most of you know what the Hinge Tech is all about. Feet in, hinge up, high
fives. For 2008, we continued with the beginner friendly Hinge Tech on the low end
and introduce Switch Hinge on the high end for zero heel lift. Push the lever down on
the high end instead of pulling it up. The new 6-Plate features a smaller footprint on
the board and drastically reduces the weight of the boot. Taking 25% of the footprint
out of the baseplate allows for a far stiffer plate while trimming the weight. Going
from an eight inch pattern to six also allows for the new boots to still fit on older
boards. The 6-Plates also feature a thinned out and completely covered heel cup
for a cleaner appearance. We also eliminated the middle man by making the heel
piece one solid unit rather than the traditional heel rubber covered by a wrap. This
adds comfort, performance and trims even more weight. To provide the cleanest
look possible, we created three closed toe boots for those who are into looking
right. The closed toe phenomena can now be looked at from a Hinge Tech point of
view. The Zeus, Answer and Tiffany are all using Switch Hinge and the 6-Plate for
‘08. Now you can rock the closed toe boots for those chilly winter sesh’s. You have
heard the buzz. Now try Hinge and see how it makes your ride effortless.

8-PLATE
This plate is used for the entry level - intermediate boots in
the line. The Seven, Bliss, Torq, Vapor, and Sage. It allows
for the easiest entry and exit around as well as an upward
movement of the Hinge making the lock in process easy.
This is the plate that started the C-dub boot revolution.
The next generation is here. We were able to narrow
the traditional eight inch plate and narrow it to a
higher performance six inch plate. What this does
is remove a bunch of weight, but more importantly
give more of a full plate hold down on the board.
When you rock forward and back, the board moves
with you as does the board now more than ever. To
top it off, the hinge has been changed to the Switch
Hinge. Simply push the lever down for zero heel lift.
For those who want to ride wide but don’t want to
drop the cash on a fresh 08 deck, the 6 Plate mounts
to older boards just fine with the included adapter.

boot in the line. The Zeus has been around for years and
has always been the boot that gets the bells and whistles.
For 2008 we wanted to deliver a boot line that caters to all
riding styles and left the Zeus for those who like a high wrap
that holds you down like a snowboard boot. Many riders like
that feel of knowing you are locked in and every movement
will translate to the board, so we added a full inch in height
to the wrap for 08. The beauty of the Zeus is you will have
unmatched hold, but at the same time come out in a hard
fall. The Zeus also uses the new 6 Plate, new Lock Jaw, and
new Switch Hinge. This combined with the new stretch
friendly leather creates a boot that not only will own the
boot wall in looks but in function as well.
The change starts now. The new 6-Plate trims roughly two
pounds per pair of boots. The new Lock Jaw system that is
60% lighter. The new Hinge movement cleans up the boot
dubbed the Switch Hinge. Houndstooth! Say it isn’t so!! The
2008 Faction boot is beautiful. Using the new 6 Plate, this
boot is light. When paired with the Faction board, you can’t
keep your eyes off of it. The Faction is a lower cut boot that
has been designed to be a soft upper to give the ability to
poke that toe five. We have found a fabric compound that
flexes like that of rubber but maintains the fresh look of
leather. What does this do for you? It enables you to ride
a boot that looks money, but will allow you to release on
a hard fall so your ankles don’t scream at you. The Faction
boot comes packaged with the Faction board and let us tell
you, you need to check it. It will be on the who’s who list of
the red carpet this season.
DEUCE
Closed toe meets Hinge. For those who are die hard closed
toe riders, we have your boot. The biggest thing to hit the
market in boots (Hinge) is now paired with the biggest
cosmetic thing to hit boots (closed toe). There is no argument
that Hinge is the biggest functional improvement to hit
wake. There is also no argument that a closed toe gives a
much cleaner look. So, do the math. We now offer a fantastic
looking boot that actually has a function. Not only is the
Answer closed toe and Hinge friendly, it used the new 6-Plate,
the new Lock Jaw, and the new Switch Hinge. Also coming
into the market at a price that is quite friendly as well.
Clean, plain and simple. So clean it warrants
high fives. The ‘08 Deuce features our new one
piece wrap and heel with built in Achillies pads,
articulated toe and dual lace adjustment. A
white wrap, white plate, white pad, you get the
picture. If you are a traditional rider who wants a
traditional boot, there are none cleaner available
with this much “Rad” built in free of charge.
Simply the best traditional boot on the market.

VAPOR
SEVEN
Pinstripes are so in. A new boot to hit the shelves last
year and built to be paired with the Kink board, the
new Vapor has the adjustability of the Torq, the ease
of entry of the hinge, but a slightly taller and stiffer
wrap. The wrap is high enough for a intermediate and
low enough for the beginner. Boasting molded and
lycra lined heel and toe rubbers, dual Gorilla Grips and
molded achilles pads, the Vapor is a feature packed
value boot. The ease of entry is unmatched. The
Vapor is sure to please all who rock it.
Hinge for the coupon clipper! By now you know the
success of the Hinge. Creates a boot for those with huge
feet, is the easiest thing to put on this side of a hat, and
laughs at the days of fighting to get out of your boots
in the water. Now we have built a boot that hands this
technology to you, in a bargain envelope. The Seven
boot is packaged with the Faze board for a complete
package that gives you a board for not only the whole
family, but everyone in the boat. Using our floating
tongue for comfort, full lace front for adjustability, and
the hinge tech heel for smiles, the Seven boots will hit
on all cylinders for you and your crew.

TORQ
This is it. This is the boot that created the door busting
demand that every dealer across the country has heard.
A system that closes the door on those who say it is hard
to get in and out of your boots. A system that brings the
sport to those with a size 16 foot. A system that provides
a fit to not only you but everyone in the whole boat with
one pair. A system that has changed the sport. We are
talking about the Hinge. Delivered in three sizes, each
size will fit a wide array of feet. Delivered this year with
new materials and a wrap that makes it look legit. The
Torq also comes with the high polished lock jaw system
for endless adjustments on your board. Try on the Torq
and be amazed. Seriously amazed.
22
MOBE
One of the simplest most comfortable wakeboard boots
ever. A best seller for years the Mobe has been copied
more times than we can count as it fits a wide variety
of foot sizes. Super soft foot beds cradle your feet
while a neoprene toe rubber conforms to the top. A
soft EVA heel with perfectly positioned Achillies pads
wrap around your ankle. A Gorilla Grip on the heel
helps entry and the single lace snugs up nice to provide
support at a value price.
COMP
The best fitting entry level boot on the market. Built
for the first timer the molded tongue floats over the top
of your foot held in place by a soft lycra and neoprene
liner. A full front lace lets you firm it up to you liking,
while your foot rests on the super cushy footbed.
Nothing will make your wallet happier.

The Faction proudly supports those riders that have dedicated
themselves to pushing the sport they love. With the constant
progression and innovation in this sport CWB would like to
introduce the next generation Faction vest for 2008 for that core
group of riders. The first Non-CGA vest from CWB offers a unique
angled side-entry to increase ease of use and comfort for the
rider. CWB would like to thank this core group of riders for making
the Faction Vest our top selling vest of 2007. With feedback from
our Faction Team our top selling vest has only been made better
for 2008 with the addition of a locking zipper and button snap to
keep it in place. This vest has function, style and goes perfect with
the rest of the Faction products designed specifically for any rider.
With the women’s market growing each year and the number
of advanced women’s riders increasing each day we thought
it was time to have a vest that would fit the needs of today’s
hardcore rider. We took the concept of our top selling Faction
tournament vest and re-designed it to meet the needs of
today’s woman riders. The Non-CGA Diamond vest has CWB’s
unique angled side-entry to increase ease of use and comfort.
The slimmed down foam patting and ergonomically designed
flex points allows for optimal freedom of motion. Everything
on this vest from fit, function, and style was designed to fit
the needs of core women riders.

Each year the group of women’s riders continues to grow and

female rider. For 2008 our Diamond line of products has a
constant theme for the ladies from our hard goods to the soft

can’t hurt to look good while you are on the water.

restriction. All Faction wetsuits are covered by our lifetime warranty
The Delta, like every vest in our 2008 line, was designed with
comfort, style, and safety in mind. Thanks to the Flex vest design
today’s riders now have a vest that maximizes mobility and offers
superior comfort while riding. We know how important having
freedom of motion is while you ride, but we also know how
important safety is because floating is good. The new 08’ Delta
vest fuses these together. Everything from fit, function, style, and
safety came together on this vest.
