Company comments:   The Faction shape has been around for three seasons now and continues to improve year after year.   It is a product segment that is targeted at the local ripper who has an unbridled passion to ride.   Not only is there a board, but boots, ropes, and apparel as well.   We wanted to create a unique core brand for those who want to make a mark in their local scene.   Always using the latest fashion trends and colors, the Faction for 2009 definitely follows those guidelines.   Purple you ask…?   Just you wait.   The Faction board is the fastest board in our line.   Using a continuous rocker pattern and a completely smooth bottom, there is nothing to hold it back.   The optional four aluminum fins will add a bite to your edge like none other, and the center spine will provide a soft cushion when landing.   Designed to be perfect for the rail park, or it can be quickly transformed into a wake charger as well.    The Faction is constructed with a stiffer lay-up creating that much needed snap off the wake.   This is a deck that can press a rail, or hammer a back seven.   Go to your local shop and demand the Faction collection.   Make a difference.
