RONIX WAKESURFERS - BLUNT NOSE SKIMMER - 101

A WIDE, FAST, STABLE RIDING SKIM BOARD.

A new breed of skimmer for riders who want the agility of a thin, pintail skim board — but with the added stability of a wider longboard nose. The result? Faster starts, more confident tricks, and a whole new level of versatility on smaller wakes. Built with a lightweight surf core wrapped in a Paulownia wood laminate exterior, this board delivers a smooth, dampened ride that absorbs energy instead of amplifying it. The Blunt Nose Skimmer also features two additional outside nub fins for extra grip and control. Deep water starts, spins, airs — all require less effort (and are a lot more fun). 

A skimmer with extra speed, stability, grip, and dampening. This wide, speedy, and stable-riding skim board has the feel of a thin profile, sharp rail, pintail traditional skimmer, but has the nose of a wide longboard so you can jump on the throttle quicker, easier, and with more stability. This design opens an entire spectrum of tricks only possible on a skimmer – but with the stability and controlled speed of a traditional surfer. Now you can ride a skimmer on even smaller size wakes and feel more confident with your tricks due to the blunt nose shape.

Surf Constructions 101

Why so many surf constructions? All of our surfers can be put into 1 of 4 categories in varying price points. Those that prioritize lightweight, extra energy, extra dampening and of course durability – or those that want a combination of 2 of them.

HIGH ENERGY + DURABILITY

More hole shot response out of a turn with added power off the lip. In surfing we have 3 versions of these laminates that all do the same - but such different variations. Carbon Air Core 4. Made from a spread tow carbon that uses wider, thinner tapes of carbon, resulting in a smoother flatter surface and higher strength to weigh ratio compared to an interlaced woven carbon - the most unique and explosive skimmer in the industry. Dark Matter. In our eyes the holy grail of surf constructions. Made at our H.O.M.E. where Ronix was founded - this board starts off with an eco-friendly bio resin. Then we add this innegra material from France that is a first of its kind in wakesurfing - the pinnacle of reaction and control.

EXTRA DAMPENING + DURABILITY

A term rarely said in surfing is suspension. Choppier water conditions, steeper wakes, foamy lips, or just want a smoother feel. It’s hard to beat the plush ride found in our Koal Classic with wood on the top and bottom. Extra Dampening + Added Durability - Even a softer ride with this added timber construction. The Element Core and Marsh “mellow” also makes for some of the strongest most durable series in our line.

LIGHTWEIGHT

First let’s kick off with the Standard core. This is our baseline of creating a less is more surfer. An affordable value with great feel for the water and turns extra easy because of its low swing weight. Lightweight + Extra Energy - Flyweight and Flyweight Pro is for the rider that wants the best of both worlds being slender on the scale and boastful off the wake with added snap from carbon or S-Glass laminates.

EXTRA DURABILITY

All our boards are built with the first in class materials that won’t break down over time. But three series put even more emphasis on the ooops factor. Tuff Tech. - A durable lightweight and more affordable option with a protective laminate that breaks up the water for less resistance. Packed down to a grom series - with an even lighter version - Sonic Core.


Surf 101


SKIMMER

A fast, responsive style of board where the rider’s position is centered with a more balanced body. These sharp rail, thin profiled boards react quicker for people that don’t have a lot of time to waste. Preferred by surfers that like to have more feel with their board itself – and not just on fins. They can break free easier for 360’s on the water or shuvits off it. A more forgiving style of board when riding behind a steep wake because you typically ride this style of board at a shorter length (making it less likely to dunk the nose). Because of how speedy these models are – you can get away with a shorter, lightweight length.

HYBRID

For riders that like a little bit of everything. They want to generate power through their bottom turns, but still be able to leave the waterline quickly and easily. A growing style of wakesurfing designed for bigger airs leaving the wake but can still lock in for a proper cutback.

SURF

Toss some buckets with some smooth, linked turns inspired by your favorite saltwater surfer. Traditional surf shapes have a thicker profile and a mellower rail/bevel allowing a rider to pivot a turn more from their back foot and are best ridden with either a deeper fin, or multiple fins. Riders usually apply more pressure on the back half of the board and generate more force through a turn. Still very capable of doing tricks on and off the water – just with a fluid like feel.

Button Fin

THE MOST SIMPLISTIC NEW FIN SYSTEM

This patent pending design with over 5 years of development is now proudly available on this Osmo.
Typically with a fin attachment system the rider has to generate the force to release the fin.
With The Button the energy to release comes from the internal design - at your disposal for an effortless release with a simple press of a button.
Enjoy

Accidents can happen–no worries, these fins float. A carbon epoxy layup also makes them our stiffest, most responsive construction


Button Fins are only compatible with surf models using the button system.  

FIN SETUP

1. Line up fins in the fin box.
2. With even pressure, push fin down into the fin box
3. Go ride!


FIN REMOVAL

1. With moderate pressure push the button on either side of the fin down until it bottoms out.
2. While pushing the button with even pressure pull the fin up and out.
3. Put a new fin in and go ride again!
