The patented K2 CONDA System allows you to tighten, loosen or adjust your liner on-the-fly – from outside of the boot! The first time you try this, you’ll wonder how you ever rode without it. How it works: Whether attached to a Boa® reel or part of our new K2 Conda closure system, the CONDA minimized harness is securely built into the shell of the boot and tightens around the liner to lock your foot in position. Focus is on the superior ankle support and heel hold. The harness lace is threaded through a floating tongue lace guide, allowing riders to customize fit for maximum comfort. Boa® CONDA + Simple and easy to use + One handed operation + K2 Patented technology NEW! K2 CONDA + Simple and easy to use + One handed operation + Comfortable textile pull handle + Single pull locking system; locks and stays locked + Easy wrap to release webbing loop pull.

Congrats to our friends at Korkers for taking home the Dealer Choice Award at the 2010 International Fly Tackle Dealer Show for the new Chrome Fly Fishing boot with Boa. Korkers boots featuring the Boa Lacing System have been sweeping the tradeshow and magazine awards circuit this year! Here’s a portion of the latest press release from Korkers below. No more wet soggy boot laces when wearing fly fishing boots with the Boa Lacing System!

Korkers Products LLC, the leader in adaptable traction footwear, was presented the Dealer’s Choice award at the Internationl Fly Tackle Dealer show in Denver, Colorado for its new CHROME wading boot featuring hydraphobic materials, true-fit sizing and the new patented 3.0 OmniTrax Interchangeable sole system. The flagship OmniTrax technology has been re-engineered and redesigned for ease of use and enhanced traction while providing a unique solution to fighting invasive species. Upgrades incorporated into OmniTrax 3.0 system include the elimination of the tool previously used to change the outsole, a full perimeter of traction and a wider protective plate for support and stability.

“The CHROME Boot is the latest Korkers wading boot utilizing innovative technology to optimize our consumers fly fishing and angling experiences,” said Korkers CEO Sean Beers. “We know from direct angler feedback and wear test trial that anglers will love this boot. We are confident that the coveted Dealers Choice award will bring this great new style to the attention of even more anglers.”

The CHROME Wading Boot, one of 5 new models in Korkers spring 2011 lineup, is designed to perform in a variety of river conditions and has been wear tested extensively throughout the summer in challenging white-water, rafting, and diverse wading scenarios. The CHROME Boot features Korkers updated OmniTrax 3.0 interchange technology and Boa’s latest M3 reel which tightens laces 3-4 times faster than previous models. In addition, Korkers entire spring 2011 product offering has been produced using hydrophobic materials, reduced seems for durability and “true fit sizing.”

Boa Team Rider Ashley Thornton (Flow Lotus Boa Coiler) checks in from the 2010 Supergirl Rail Jam in Venice, California. Snow in SoCal???

“Here are some shots of the Supergirl rail jam August 22nd from Venice Beach, California. I road tripped down to SoCal for a week-long trip. Huntington Beach was our first stop. Day 2 was a full day at Disneyland with the Family. The following day was a day of jibbing on Venice Beach. Wow, what a great concept… snowboarding on da beach! It was a killer time! The day after Supergirl my best friend and I visited our board, boot and binding sponsor Flow. We had a wonderful time checking out the 2012 product line, seeing most of the Flow family and gearing up for this season. After leaving Flow we headed right down the road to a great beach. The last few days I spent with my bf’s awesome family in San Diego, soaking in the sun and eating the best corn tortilla ever made. One of the best trips ever!” -Ashley Thornton
