Baller quinne Posted February 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 29, 2020 Seriously, no idea what year it is, what I should ask for it and where to sell it. It says O'Brien Vision 140. Looks like new. Came free when I bought my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Luzz Posted February 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hahaha, it's called a Wakeboard. The two things on it are called wakeboard bindings. I wouldn't ask more than $150 Ski coach at Jolly Ski, Organizer of the San Gervasio Pro Am (2023 Promo and others), Co-Organizer of the Jolly Clinics.

Baller quinne Posted February 29, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted February 29, 2020 @Luzz I hope you know I was being sarcastic! But last time I was on a wakeboard was 1992 and I have no use for it. Couldn’t find any info on this one online so no idea what it’s worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DavidN Posted February 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 29, 2020 Best use I have found for these “things” is making benches out of it. Get another one for cheap (Craigslist / FB marketplace), build (or buy) some legs and put the thing to a good use... (Example pic.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wayne Posted February 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looks like the beginnings of a nice bench seat to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MuskokaKy Posted February 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 29, 2020 @quinne you are amazing!!! Great shelf and bench; besides that, absolutely useless! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted March 1, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thermite and a large caliber round. Maybe add a little gas before you shoot it. On second thought, add a lot of gas. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller oldjeep Posted March 1, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 1, 2020 Give it to someone who can use it. Won't be worth much, Google says that the vision was an entry level board about 200 brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted March 1, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 1, 2020 OK, I've had my fun at the expense of wakeboards too. But seriously, wakeboards are a fun toy and a useful tool. Yours is not worth enough to sell but might be valuable on a day you have guests or just want to play around. Open trickers out west started on wakeboards as kids. College kids use wakeboards as a stepping stone to better trick scores. We trained with some serious wakeboarders when learning flips and they are as dedicated and technical as any group of slalomers. World record holder Erika Lang is also a world class wakeboarder. Keep the thing and enjoy it! (Do take the fins off it to make the falls less painful.) Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted March 2, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted March 2, 2020 Say more about the fins. I have no philosophical objection to wakeboarding, but when I tried it years ago it seemed edge catch falls were common and SUCKED. Didn't seem suitable for an old guy -- and I was fifteen years less old then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted March 2, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2020 @Than_Bogan A lot of that has to do with the edge and rocker too. A sharp edge and 3 stage rocker has advantages for serious wakeboarders, but the rounded edge and continuous rocker are a lot more forgiving. I had a wakeboard I acquired and took several of those edge catch/face first fall...no fun. I picked up a clearance/new board from performance with continuous rocker and rounded edges and no more of those falls. We did take fins off for easier surface tricks (180s etc..) but put fin back on for beginners that were just trying to stay on top of the water, and make it a little less slippery. The fins were off on that 1st board too, and still took some nice edge grab falls. @quinne We used to keep wakeboard on the boat with us for something fun to do after a couple ski sets, and for guests that want to mess around on them.... Kinda stopped that, just bring them out now for guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted March 3, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 3, 2020 Maybe we should get a bunch of them in a pile and blow them up like the Disco Demolition in Comiskey Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller foxriverat Posted March 4, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 4, 2020 @A_B I wasn't at disco demolition. But I was at this one at Comisky when the bleachers caught fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
