With input from park phenom Daniel Grant (known for his prowess both on a wakeboard and a wakeskate) the next generation Tao was always going to blend elements of both for feel. The final product was a wakeboard that had a wakeskate profile embedded into the deck design of the wakeboard. This raised partition with a cantered recess through the middle, like a wakeskate top deck, allows you to feel grounded on your board and have incredible edge control and performance. This profile also works to provide a flex pattern like no other. With its denser profile through the guts, the Tao will hold up to big landings from kickers and features with ease but not sacrifice the flex that you chase throughout the park range. All this, combined with a toned-down base structure that maximises freedom on water and across features, provides you with an all-out assault weapon to attack your park riding.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRocker Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAggressive 3-Stage Rocker - An aggressive 3-stage rocker with a maximised flat spot and a pronounced kick in the tip and tail, giving a lot of energy build up and a bitey, hard edge into features, finishing with huge explosive pop for maximum height.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Flex\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy Rating(1=Delayed\/Stored Energy, 10=Instant Explosiveness) - 4\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – 3\/10 (Tip and Tail) \u0026amp; 7\/10 (Mid Section)\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot Box | Stepped Deck - A thicker structure around the rail profile (Stepped Deck) and a 2-3mm sunken partition (Hot Box) from binding insert to binding insert gives you a more grounded feeling while retaining the overall strength of the board for true pop without sacrificing flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaulownia Wood CNC'd Core - Made from one of the earth's most renewable sources, trees.
