CWB Marius Platinum Wakeboard – Just when you thought the CWB Marius Platinum Wakeboard couldn't get any better...Trevor Marius Hansen and Doug Cannon again went into the shaping room to create the next design to carry the name Marius. With the huge success of the last Marius wakeboard and a worldwide love for the way it rode, not many modifications were needed. Stiffness creates snap off the wake, so Trevor and Doug added even more snap with the new top shape design. Marius co-designer Doug Cannon says, "Our pro level decks for 2007 had X Flex technology, which added stiffness to the tip and tail. The feedback on the new flex patterns was huge, so for 2008 we took that technology and added ridges to the top of Trevor's new shape to make that tip and tail snap even more." They were then able to thin out the tip and tail, trimming weight back even further. The molded fins were sharpened and moved towards the center of the board to get a bit more bite on edge, giving the Marius a buttery ride, but the ability to lock in on a hard edge. Even with these changes, riding the Marius without the center fin is reserved for those who are very comfortable with their edging. The Marius Platinum construction with the PT78 core trims more than a pound out of the deck by using lighter foam, two full sheets of carbon graphite and hollow fiberglass rods throughout. All of these things add up to give you the CWB Marius Platinum, an ultra stiff and ultra light deck that will react faster and
