Our Demo Program

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

For local riders there is no better place to demo all the new gear from all the major brands than the Greenhouse Rideshop. We rent anything you want to try out for $15/day and up to 3 days worth of demo credits can be applied as an in-store gift certificate. In other words - free 3 day demo of any board/waterski/wakesurfer your heart desires!

We stock a very large selection of demo boards but don’t stock a very large selection of demo bindings. Our thought behind this is that you can, for the most part, get the feel of a particular wakeboard/ski boot just by trying it on in the store. Wakeboards and skis are a different matter and we highly recommend taking some laps on different boards before you buy.

Contact us to double check we’ve got the board/ski/wakesurfer you are looking for in a demo.

Heat Mold your Boots for an Exact Fit

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Ronix Scout Boot and the molding machine
One of best features in our opinion of the new boots from Ronix is the ability to Heat Mold them to custom fit your foot. This is possible due to the “Intuition Liners” which have been available in Snowboard boots for some time that Ronix has finally brought to Wakeboarding.

Ronix Liners are made from thermo-forming closed cell foam. These tiny cells of bubble screat a high cross linkage between molecules in each cell wall. This means that the foam does not allow gases to migrate, which would change the shape of the foam. All of this results in the ability to mold the foam into a specific shape when heated and the foam will retain that shape when cooled with reduced heat-related shrinkage, high quality memory, and resistance to packing out. Intuition foam can also be re-heated and molded more than once without damaging its structural integrity or quality. You can check out more about this and other features of the new Ronix gear at ronixwake.com

Another new company on the scene is Slingshot Wakeboards which utilizes the same technology in their bindings for 2007. The Greenhouse Rideshop will be the first retailer to stock Slingshot in North America. Until we receive our stock we are also able to order direct from Slingshot and have it drop shipped straight to you. If you would like to pick up any of the new gear from them just give us a call to place an order at 951-479-9640 or contact us via our contact page.
