Key Features

  • Build Quality

A light but sturdy core is required to cover all practitioners’ skill levels. One of the remarkable updates of “Clutch” is the Feather CoreTM. The solid but flexible structure allows a proper swing control and gives extra pop to advanced practitioners.

This product was well-thought for men and women. The Feather CoreTM special build dissolves the physics limitation of several wakeboards. As long as the materials’ combination keeps evolving, “Clutch” fits present times. Both male and female practitioners have multiple differences regarding riding styles, skills, and movements, but “Clutch” groups all of them with excellent outcomes.

  • Design

The 4-shaped fins and tracking channels are the distinctive features and outstanding updates of “Clutch”. The fins’ larger shape with its “Attack 1.4” type is quite different from the boards’ fin configuration in the wakeboarding market. Some tables’ fins have a sharper edge, other boards are finless, but “Clutch” took chances and gave us a one-of-kind fin design. The “attachment” over wakes and transitions is fully improved without sacrificing speed or control.

The three-stage rocker complements the special fins configuration to improve water distribution through the board’s belly. A variable beveled edge dispels excessive traction getting softer on the mid-section and getting sharper on tip and tail. Smoothness over wakes is fully guaranteed. The colors and shapes that emulate a “spaceship” look give this reinterpreted classic’s creative and sporty identity.

  • Bindings

This board has its own bindings and variable and adjustable settings. “Clutch” bindings allow great flexibility and control following the “O’Brien 6mm inserts” standard. There are multiple sizes for all kinds of practitioners.“Spark,” “GTX,” and “Nova” are great options for wakeboard accessories.

  • Availability on fuller tip shape (tip and tail adapted to the 4-molded-in fins and tracking channels).

Final thoughts / Conclusion

At the beginning of wakeboarding history, few wakeboards achieved an excellent transition from the snowboarding world. The physics essentials were quite difficult to improve in all boards. Certainly, “Clutch” was a daring product of its time.

However, professional athletes like Mizuki Takahashi and others have chosen “Clutch” as a great partner in memorable rides through their learning processes. A product of this kind is uncommon in wakeboarding. The course of time is a hard test surpassed by a few products. You can recognize an improved classic when you see it, and “Clutch” is one of them. This masterpiece in wakeboarding will give us a lot of learning and unforgettable times.
