Shockwave S5-LW

The Shockwave S5-LW lightweight marine suspension base is our entry-level recreational suspension option. Designed to mitigate the shock of wave impact in light seas on freshwater lakes or cabin boats on the ocean. Constructed using anodized cast 360 aluminum with a powder coat finish.

Shockwave S5-AL

The Shockwave S5-AL aluminum suspension base offers a smoother, safer, and more comfortable ride, protecting occupants from the shock of wave impact. It is designed for additional stability over the S5-LW in moderate to heavy sea conditions by utilizing a 4-point forward action suspension design.

Shockwave S5-SS

The new Shockwave S5-SS stainless steel suspension base is the latest addition to the S5 product line. Welded construction using electro-polished 316 stainless steel to last a lifetime. The Shockwave S5-SS is best suited for salt water environments with high salinity, humidity, and moderate to heavy sea conditions.

Shockwave Dealers

Benefit from our dealer network

Ordering through a dealer enables you to talk to real people about the product and ask questions ahead of making a purchasing decision. Our dealer’s prices are often better than on our website. Our dealers can generally get your products faster than purchasing direct through our website. Some dealers may display products in their store so you can actually sit on the suspension seat and see how it works, prior to purchasing. Also, many of our dealers stock product, so you can walk away with your new S5 Sentinel Suspension Base.

The Future of Marine Suspension Seating

Shockwave protects occupants from the shock of wave impact

Take the boat out for a few hours and ask yourself this: Does my body ache? Am I unusually tired? Am I feeling the need to cut my time on the water short? Or maybe you have a past injury that prevents you from taking the boat out altogether!

The point is, if your seat isn’t designed to take abuse, you might. Travelling at even moderate speeds without seat suspension can cause cumulative back and neck pain/injuries. Wave shock impact can be unforgiving and over a long enough time period, it can leave you debilitated and unable to take the boat out whatsoever. You deserve to be comfortable, and to enjoy every minute on the water!
