One Blackout Technology
THE HANG TIME ICON GOT A NEW CONSTRUCTION.
New rider, new construction – same explosive vertical 3-Stage iconic lift off. The legacy of hangtime continues into its 1 9th season with the most reactive rockerline leaving the water and a smooth edge hold while riding on the water. A refined, freeride feel with our lightweight, advanced Blackout Construction. The best in elevation is even more impressive with our latest innovation – Pre-Tension Glass. The hurdle in wakeboards has always been that riders want a stiff, reactive take off – and a soft and subtle landing and trying to find that balance point of those two opposing spectrums has always been difficult. We created a machine that preloads the fibers before it goes into the mold creating a stiffer board that Tyler Higham and others have been loving – but still is comprised of our proprietary fiberglass that makes for a super comfortable landing. A wider outline and a lightweight forgiving core, for the rider that wants a bigger sweet spot with added stability, that planes easier at slower speeds with an unmatched explosive vertical rockerline. Take the journey of flight to a new elevation with the most advanced constructed 3-Stage rocker wakeboard.
A board that truly does...
- ride faster
- feel livelier
- land softer
- fly longer
- react quicker

The Story
December 2005 was a crazy but really important time in watersports. Wakeboarding was becoming homogenized with leadership and technology. So we decided to go back to Square 1 and start Ronix. The first wakeboarder to say they were in with this new unnamed company was Danny Harf. The most unique graphic, shape and construction we were working on was this board. We would internally just call it the 1 – our most universally liked high end shape we have ever design, the most unique graphic -uv clears, peals, flakes, metal badges weren’t really thing at that point, and the most influential rider in wakeboarding at that time (Danny Harf) wanting to promote this new series. Then on the footwear side this was the first time baseless hardware was being introduced along with heat formed custom fit liners. At that time One was in the short running of the name of our company – but we decided on Ronix. Then it just seemed fitting to call this series the One collection. Several months later there was rumblings that Danny was landing 1080's (the magical trick of that time) on this new company. Then in November of 2006 we made the public debut of the One, and within a few short days we were sold out. The One series made up almost 1/2 of our total sales that first year. We issued more apologies for lack of inventory than we did board sales. Now nearly 2 decades later it continues to be the flagship high end wakeboard series in the industry. The pinnacle of elegance of elevation. If we could make only 1 - it would be the One.
Wake 101
3-STAGE ROCKER
An exaggerated rocker line with a later arc and a higher degree provides a more straight up explosive pop. This style of rocker creates more of an instant buck off the wake (combine that with our Blackout Technology to experience everything a wake has to offer), for riders that are behind a big boat wake. Wakeboarders riding behind smaller wakes will still feel like they are getting a solid kick as well.
HYBRID ROCKER
A combination of the traits of 3-Stage and Continuous rocker lines. Designed for a high-end rider that, depending on how they edge into the wake, the rocker will dictate what style of snap they will have. Also, for a mid-level rider that isn’t sure what style of hangtime they are looking for.
CONTINUOUS ROCKER
An earlier arc with a mellower degree will have a smoother, more consistent glide up the wake. A rider will be able to carry more speed up the transition and land tricks farther out into the flats. Not quite the straight up snap of its counterpart, but they’ll have a faster, more predictable, effortless takeoff.
INSTANT ENERGY
Instant energy takes place the second the tip of the board hits the wake. This allows a quicker way to generate lift off the transition as energy takes place sooner with a super firm snap off the wake. For riders that can handle the added kick. We rate all our boards from 1 to 10.
NEUTRAL ENERGY
Doesn’t have the radioactive amplitude of instant energy, or the postponed kick of its stored counterpart. Neutral energy prefers to sit quietly in the middle of takeoff purgatory – not too quick, not too late. Nothing wrong with riding sans stigma.
STORED ENERGY
Created for a rider who approaches and leaves the wake the way a snowboarder would a kicker or a skater would an ollie. The delay in the energy means the rider is given more time to generate the full lift from the power building from the tip all the way to the tail of the board. If riders don’t have that snow / skate timing off the wake – no problem – they will just have a mellower lift. A construction that’s easier on your body.
