'Mastercraft X-Star' Wakeboarding in Tambon Ko Pha-ngan

2004 Mastercraft X-Star In the fall of 2002 the boating industry started buzzing about a new wakeboarding boat. Wakeboard enthusiasts frequenting online chat rooms created most of the hype, waiting out the winter. While MasterCraft employees and team riders put in overtime getting the X-Star to market, wakeboarders speculated about the size and shape of the wake. Today, riders are doing tricks that have never been done before. Parks Bonifay, X-Games, Vans Triple Crown and Pro Wakeboard Tour Champion, recently performed the first double half-cab mobe (a double back flip with a 360-degree twist) in history behind the X-Star. Its the most stoked Ive been behind the boat in a long time, said Bonifay. You can ask anyone, the wake on this new X-Star is ridiculous. Double-ups and triple-ups are so big. A lot of new tricks are going to be done, just because of that wake.” MasterCraft has always had the best wakeboard hull in the world and now its even better, says Zane Schwenk, professional wakeboarder. I did the biggest raley Ive ever done in my life when we were testing this boat. It has the smoothest transition to a bigger, thicker ramp, with a perfect lip.
