Darin Shapiro’s name is synonymous with the sport of wakeboarding. Darin's intensity and amplitude on the water is unmistakable. The tried and true veteran of the sport has a presence on the water like no other rider. With the double front flip (speedball) already in his bag of tricks, the pop of his new board has inspired Darin to now pursue a triple front flip. It is with this in mind that it is appropriate that Darin have a board that complements his style on the water. The Demented series was introduced in 2004, and has taken the wakeboard community by storm. With a progressive rocker, the board is not only fast but has an explosiveness off the wake that has riders going bigger than they ever thought they could. Darin and the mad scientists at O’Brien have widened the tip/tail and mid section of the board. They have done this while keeping the edge to edge characteristics like that of a narrower board. The Demented also boasts an elevated composite exoskeleton for strength.
