Welcome to the 2024 TAO, Daniel Grant's new and improved all out assault weapon! When tasked with redesigning the TAO it is hard to ignore DG’s prowess on both a wakeboard and wakeskate, so we built a wakeskate into his board! Hotbox technology keeps your pop high without sacrificing flexibility. The TAO flexes like never before while still holding on to those huge landings Daniel is known for. Hotbox Technology gives lightweight flex without sacrificing pop. The center wakeskate allows you to sink into the board for a more direct feel while the thickened rail keeps everything strong. Where your bindings mount there is a mellow cant to the board and this sits 2-3mm lower than the top sheet for an unreal planted feeling Stepped Deck design allows the board to flex more in the tip and tail while still keeping all the response and rigidity needed to go big! Think thinner in the tips and thicker in the center. Redesigned base to have minimal channels to keep everything loose on features. The TAO now has single hull tip and tail channels but otherwise clean and flat. Plenty of grip for a huge cut, loose for rails.
