Kneeboarding remains one of the most popular activities on the lake because of its low center of gravity and ease of learning. However, not all boards are created equal. At The Drop, we "go hard" on HO Sports because they continue to innovate on a sport that many other brands have left behind.
The Legendary Joker
The HO Joker is arguably the most famous kneeboard ever made. Designed by professional riders, it features a symmetrical profile for riding "switch" and a thin profile that allows it to cut through the wake like a wakeboard. Its quad-fold wrap-around strap ensures you stay locked in during high-impact landings, making it the top choice for riders looking to push their progression.
Innovation for Every Level
HO doesn't just focus on the pros. Their range includes boards designed for family fun and rapid learning:
- The Powerlock Strap: HO's patented strap system is the most secure and comfortable in the game, preventing the "loose" feeling often found on entry-level gear.
- Molded-In Fins: Many HO models feature specialized hull channels and fins that help the board track straight, making it easier for new riders to cross the wake without sliding out.
- Integrated Tow Hooks: Many of our HO models feature a retractable or molded-in hook that holds the handle for you during the start, allowing beginners to focus on their balance before taking the rope.
Comfort is Key
A kneeboard is only as good as its pad. HO utilizes high-density EVA foam and contoured knee wells to absorb the shock of crossing the wake and prevent bruising. Whether you’re learning your first 360 or just enjoying a cruise, the ergonomics of an HO board ensure a longer, more comfortable session.
