Best for: The 99% of riders who want a dependable, sub-$1k setup that handles everything from learning to stand up to landing backflips.

The Trip & Index is the most successful package in our shop because it simply makes sense. While most 'entry-level' gear is a dead end that you’ll outgrow in a season, this setup is built to stay with you. It’s a cost-effective way to get into a top-tier brand, offering a ride that is approachable for a total novice but capable enough to handle inverts and big wake jumps once you're ready.

• No-Limits Learning: This setup covers the widest range of riding possible. It’s stable enough to give you confidence on your first day, but loose enough that it won't 'trip' you up when you're trying surface 360s or crossing the wake for the first time.
• The 'Do-Everything' Foundation: Whether this is your personal board or the one you keep on the boat for the whole crew, it’s never out of its depth. The open-toe bindings offer a solid, comfortable fit for almost any foot size, making it the most adaptable kit we sell.
• Dependable Performance: This isn't a technical, 'finicky' board that requires perfect form. It’s designed to be predictable and forgiving, helping you stay on your feet when you mess up a landing or get out of position.

Our Verdict: This is a logical choice package. For under a grand, you’re getting a world-class shape and a binding that just works. No frills & no compromise. If you want one setup that handles 99% of what happens behind the boat, this is it.
