Ronix One Review

Another board review for everyone.  Yesterday I had the chance to ride the Ronix One 142.  Let me start out by saying that I was riding the biggest wake I have ever ridden, a sacked out Supra Launch 24SSV Gravity Games Edition. 

The board had tons of pop and pretty decent landings.  I was expecting a slightly harder landings with the board not having a center beam but was quite suprised.  The few times I landed in the trough of the wake or even when I cased the wake a few times, the board absorbed it quite nice-not too bad on the knees.  My style is more of a snowboard type style so I was expecting the stock 1″ fins to be a little too grippy.  I was pleasantly suprised that this was not the case.  The board gripped well but not too much.  The thing that was different about this board than any other board I have ever ridden is the edge response.  All Ronix boards blend their rails from a sharp to rounded edge to make the boards ride different.  The One is very rounded in the middle of the board and then gets sharper as it gets to the tip and tail.  When I was switching from a toeside cut back to heel the board rolled very slowly from toe to heel.  It took me a couple of times to get used to this but I eventually got used to it.

 This is a great board for the relaxed style wakeboarder.  I could easily see myself riding this board but would not recommend it to the very aggressive rider.

On a side note,  I have ridden every board in the shop now except for the Liquid Force Witness, which I plan on riding within the next week.  I will try to post reviews on a lot of the boards up but if you want to hear my personal feedback just send me an email- diamondlakesws@yahoo.com
