WAKESHOP VERDICT

Our take on this board.

The Johnny Rocket is for riders who like to ride fast and go big. It carries serious speed into kickers, holds an edge confidently and has the pop to turn that speed into huge airs. What makes it particularly impressive is that it hasn't sacrificed park versatility to achieve that performance – there's still enough flex and feature feel for presses and technical riding. If your cable sessions revolve around sending kickers rather than simply jibbing every rail, this should be high on your shortlist.

✓

BEST FOR

Cable parks, big kickers, high-speed approaches, huge airs, aggressive park riding, rails and riders who want one high-performance all-terrain board

NOT IDEAL FOR

Complete beginners, riders prioritising maximum forgiveness or riders wanting an ultra-soft board primarily for deep presses and jibbing

WHY WE STOCK IT

Why it earns a place at WakeShop.

We stock the Johnny Rocket because it gives aggressive park riders something noticeably different from the softer jib-focused boards in our range. Its narrow outline, belly channels and Continuous Rocker create speed, traction and response for big kicker approaches, while the Atomic Wood Core and elliptical tip and tail concaves retain enough flex and feature control for creative park riding. It's an excellent choice for riders who want one board that encourages them to go bigger.
