The Connelly Blaze Wakeboard w/ Optima Bindings is a boat-wake package built for novice through intermediate riders who want a stable board for foundational learning, deep-water starts, wake crossings, and relaxed cruising. The 141 cm Blaze uses a System 80 light-density closed-cell foam core, UV-protected laminated Nexus shell, full landing spine, deep center tracking channel, smooth carving rails, and a subtle 3.11-inch three-stage rocker. Optima open-toe bindings complete the package with adjustable fit and thick EVA cushioning.

Measuring 55.5 inches long with a 16.90-inch center width and 10.09-inch tip-and-tail width, the Blaze is designed for riders 140 lb and above. Four long-base molded fins work with two removable 1.9-inch plastic Skater fins to create the board’s tracking configuration. The Optima boots use a universal 6-Plate metric baseplate, Lycra-lined molded heel and toe areas, thick shock-absorbing EVA footbed, and single-lace Gorilla Grip closure. Choose S/M for U.S. men’s sizes 5–8 or L/XL for sizes 9–13.
