Step into the straps. Perfect for first time surfers who are learning to get up, or the experienced rider who wants to put their wakeboard skills on the wave.
The Ratchet is a versatile foot strap equipped wakesurfer. The foot straps make this great learning tool for beginners. Being able to lock the riders feet into the board, it is now easier than ever to get up and riding for the first time. One of the hardest parts to learn in the beginning is how to keep the board to your feet in the water before getting up. This takes both cooperation from the driver. Now with the foot straps it is easier to get first time riders and drivers into the sport.

Experienced riders will appreciate the foot straps on another level. Experienced wakeboarders can now apply their skills surfing the wave and see what is possible without the rope. Tweaks, 360's, flips, its now more possible than ever with the Ratchet!
