Obrien 2027 Sozo Kneeboard
2027 O'Brien Sozo Kneeboard
Lightweight, explosive, and built for high-performance kneeboarding.
The 2027 O'Brien Sozo Kneeboard is O'Brien's pro-level kneeboard, designed for riders who want a fast, responsive board that turns easily, releases cleanly off the wake, and stays forgiving enough to ride with confidence.
Its clean, efficient shape makes the Sozo quick to initiate turns while maintaining strong edge control and a smooth release through the wake. At the heart of the board is O'Brien's Fusion Core, CNC-machined to precise specifications to create a lightweight, lively feel on the water.
The Sozo's Sandwich Construction is engineered to produce an optimized flex pattern, storing energy as the board loads and releasing it at the wake for explosive pop. The result is a kneeboard that feels quick, light, and exceptionally maneuverable.
O'Brien also equips the Sozo with its advanced Pro Pad, designed to provide strong support while remaining fully customizable. The soft pad helps absorb impact on landings while keeping the rider securely positioned on the board.
