2008 Faction w/ Faction
ABOUT THE BOARD:
The Faction movement was formed last year by a couple of reps who had some riders making 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, etc. 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 with...or pull a back five off the wake. The Faction is a free shape with very little going on with the bottom. When something was designed, prototypes were shipped to ten riders from pros 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. The Faction is 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. The top dressing is pretty sweet, too. Using a fabric material and a metal stamp, this is a board that will surely impress.
ABOUT THE BINDINGS:
The change starts now. The new 6-Plate trims roughly two pounds per pair of boots. The new Lock Jaw system is 60% lighter. The new Hinge movement (dubbed the switch hinge) cleans up the boot. Houndstooth! Say it ain't so! The 2008 Faction w/ Hinge is beautiful. 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 with a soft upper for the ability to poke that toe five. The Faction also utilizes a fabric compound that flexes like 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.
ABOUT THE ROPE/HANDLE COMBO:
No need to even think about using your mom's old ski lines ever again. This combo package is made of 100% Spectra for wakeboard use only.
