PARKS BONIFAY PRESENTS THE TYPE: VORN COLLECTION
FOR THE LAST DECADE PARKS BONIFAY HAS DEFINED EXPLOSIVENESS WITH HIS SIGNATURE 3-STAGE ROCKERLINE. NEW FOR THIS YEAR, PARKS HAS TAKEN HIS SUPER CHARGED SHAPE AND TONED IT DOWN. A MELLOWER ROCKER LINE, WIDER MORE STABLE PROFILE, AND AN EVEN MORE FORGIVING VARIABLE RAIL. DESIGNED FOR RIDERS THAT WANT EXTRA FLOAT, AND STABILITY OUT OF A MORE VERTICAL KICK OFF THE WAKE.
IBEX BOARD:
For years, Parks has been synonymous with big rocker lines that have a super late kick. A signature rocker that gave Parks a straight up and down snappy pop earning him the coveted legendary award by wakeboarding magazine. Our new 2010 Ibex series has less rocker than any shape Parks has ridden in the last ten years, but has way more total surface area than any other Ronix deck. So instead of having that vertical snap with an abrupt 3-stage, Parks has mellowed out his new ride with a faster, cleaner take off, and more stability on and off the water with a shape that is 1” wider in in the tip/tail with added glide requiring less effort to get speed. All the while, our engineers experimented with a more forgiving center variable rail, without loosing feel on the water. Still one of the strongest edging boards in our line up with increased effective edge into the wake from the new longer channels, and wider cupped rails.
RELIK BOOT:
Our lightest heat formed custom fit boot tips the scale at 1.6 lbs built on our revolutionary baseless plate system. The Relik boot is designed for riders that want the most mobility out of a closed toe boot. A lower cut boot, using a perforated liner and lightweight shell material for the most side to side latitude. Parks Bonifay’s custom orthotic freestyle inspired signature footwear has more lateral freedom without sacrificing heel hold down. No excuse for compromised style with the freedom of a pair of new Relik boots.
BASELESS
1/3 LIGHTER 1/3 LOWER
The only separation between a rider’s foot and a Ronix board is our new high impact shock absorbing footbed. Over the last four seasons our engineers have been designing, testing and tweaking a new patent pending baseless system. A system that makes our boots 1/3 lower in height and lighter – who doesn’t want the best in boot to board response and a lighter setup to throw in the boat? Our new super rigid chassis mounts to our universal board 6” hole pattern reducing heel/toe lift and maximizing energy transfer.
FEET BELTS
The feetbelt seats your foot in the correct position in the boot by drawing your foot into the heel pocket. These float free of the outer shell to conform to the exact dimensions of your ankles. Heel hold down to a whole new level - don’t worry you won’t get pulled over if your feetbelt isn’t buckled.
TOOL LESS HARDWARE
Throw your screwdriver away with our new tool less mounting system. Standard with every new pair of boots. The last thing you need on your boat is another tool.
FLEXMETER
Every Ronix boot is geared towards a different consumer. Some riders want a board/boot set up that reacts as quickly as they can control it. Others want the flex and freedom of our softer boots.
We have rated all of our boots from a 10 – 1 scale to make your choice easier.
10 – Stiffer/Responsive
1 – Softer/Mobility
9 – Cell
8 – One/Kai OT
7 – Frank/Kai CT/Halo
6 – Relik/District/Faith Hope Love
5 – Divide/Vision
4 – Luxe
3 – August
HEAT MOLDED CUSTOM FIT
Lightweight, preformed, heat moldable Intuition liners just fit better right out of the box and custom mold unlike any other type of moldable boots out there. Ronix exclusive Intuition wake liners have set the standard for performance driven, comfort footwear. 5 minutes on the cooker at your local shop customizes a pair of boots to the exact shape of your foot for a lifetime. Flat foot, high arch, narrow heel, or cankles – whatever the dimension of your foot, our liners were made to be cranked up to 120 degrees Celsius and custom cooled to a rider’s hoof. Intuition foam can also be re-heated and molded more than once without damaging the structural integrity or quality. The ultimate in high quality liners, resistant to packing out. Now you have an excuse why you don’t have to share your custom orthotics.
Half sizes can be accomodated with our custom fit process. The properties of Intuition foam allow the liner to expand and contract to the shape of your foot, allowing any pressure points or dead spots to be eliminated. The characteristics of this foam will accommodate any type of fit that you choose. A rider with a larger foot in a smaller boot will pack the foam to be thinner, yet more responsive. Likewise, a smaller foot in a bigger boot will allow the foam to expand more and create a softer, more forgiving boot.
DOUBLE LASTED
Building a last of a wakeboarder’s foot and simulating the movement while riding is the most important step in creating boots that fit properly. A last is an aluminum cavity that replicates every component of a foot determining the shape and size of the liner and a finished boot. This foundation is developed through an extensive R&D process based on what we determine will produce the best in fit and performance. Double lasting creates an exact fit from your foot to the shell of the boot for the best in comfort and response. We use the most compact and low profile lasts to reduce bulk and eliminate any unnecessary material.
PART 1
Our first unique lasting process is molding the liner around a last designed to the shape of an actual foot and leg. This step ensures the inside of the liner will have a great fit right out of the box. These are formed inside an actual shell to create the perfect net fit between liner and boot.
PART 2
The second part of our lasting process is molding the inside of the shell. This creates a liner to shell coupling that eliminates any “dead space” or “hot spots”. After the second lasting, the previously molded liners are inserted into the shell and the boots are ready to ride.
RONIX ECOLOGY
Yes, our new line of footwear is a lot lighter and lower to the board than most, but we are also eliminating the use of PVC solvents which are potentially hazardous to the surroundings and human health. Instead, we are using more expensive, higher quality materials that are easier on the environment. In addition, the shell of the open and closed toe Kai Boots are made from recycled water bottles.
Water bottles are made from a polymer called PET, which has created the relative abundance of post-consumer waste in the form of plastic bottles. Over 60 million bottles are thrown away per day, which then can take over a 1,000 years to biodegrade. We figured we should make some wakeboard boots out of them instead. The Kai series features a new synthetic leather recycled from your favorite 16.9 oz natural spring container.
For the 2010 season, we proudly have 15 new eco friendly kicks for a greener tomorrow
