Obrien 2027 Ricochet Kneeboard
2027 O'Brien Ricochet Kneeboard
High-performance feel without jumping all the way to a pro-model price.
The 2027 O'Brien Ricochet Kneeboard is designed for riders who want to move beyond a basic recreational board and into a lighter, more responsive performance setup.
Built with the same high-quality materials used across O'Brien's premium kneeboard line, the Ricochet combines a lightweight Feather Core, compression-molded construction, and a twin-tip V-Hull to create a board that feels quick, smooth, and easy to maneuver.
Its molded flex pad and 3" padded adjustable strap give the rider a secure, comfortable connection to the board, while the removable Aqua Hook / Hydrohook system makes deep-water starts and training easier. O'Brien positions the Ricochet as an entry point into true high-performance kneeboarding.

Who Is the O'Brien Ricochet Best For?
The Ricochet is a strong choice for the intermediate rider or advancing beginner who wants more performance than a traditional rotomolded kneeboard without stepping all the way into a premium pro model like the Sozo.
It should appeal particularly to riders who want a board that is lighter, faster, and more responsive, but still appreciate the convenience of an integrated training hook.
