The machine
At the beginning of the developments, we intended to create machines which are capable to solve tasks, important for winching snowboards and wakeboards. Though we have not sampled physically any of the existing machine types, we just used all available information of internet. The goal was that our machine to contain all advantages that the previous existing winches had already knew. In the other hand, we had put all unique innovations into the development which could move forward the destiny of this alternative boarding. We find important to create something which is easy to manage, safe and usable for just as many tricks than the ones by cable systems or the motorboats. In the first two years, two different types of machines had settled.
Skater
This version has a smaller engine but it was build for pro riders mainly for wakeskaters. This winch’s name is SKATER. It can be perfect for every type of guerilla winching against pools or fountains. You can move it easily and the operating is very simple too. We can start with it from sitting or slide to water. Pro riders can use it to start easily into deep water. This version is perfect for sliding on rails or jump from a kicker.

Inverter
The second version’s name is INVERTER which is a bit more complicated development. It has huge torque with lot of new useful things. It’s including an automatic brake system which can stop the spool alone if you let off the operating stick. You can regulate the start power and it has a special gear ratio which you can switch it (manually) and the winch can pull you more then 50 km/h for snowboard jumping. This version is convenient for every wakeboard tricks like his smaller brother but it can teach beginners and big weight people for start easily with a good operator.
