Wakesurf Boards

Which Wakesurf Board is Right for Me?

Your choice of wakesurf board should primarily align with your preferred riding type. Wakesurf boards are generally categorised into three types: Skim shape boards, surf shape boards, and hybrid boards.

Skim Shape Boards

These boards are distinct for their thin profiles and symmetrical designs from front to back. The slim profile results in reduced volume, allowing the board to sit deeper in the water. Such a design offers increased control and enables swift motion reactions. This type is ideal if you seek a highly responsive board for executing tricks.

Surf Shape Boards

Featuring thicker profiles, wide tails, and larger fins, surf-style wakesurf boards provide more buoyancy, helping the board to remain higher on the water. This board type enhances fluid movement and the additional tail surface area promotes forward momentum. It is the best option for novices and riders opting for leisurely water cruises and lengthy, controlled manoeuvres.

Hybrid Boards

These boards combine features of both skim and surf shape boards. Consider these if you wish for more thrust on the water than a skim shape while retaining greater manoeuvrability compared to a surf shape board.

How Do I Choose the Right Wakesurf Board Size?

Key factors in selecting a new wakesurf board include its length and volume.

Short wakesurf boards offer less speed and stability compared to long wakesurf boards. They are advised for those with intermediate to advanced wakesurf skills. On the other hand, long boards cater to speed, favour straight-line riding, and are excellent for beginners.

The volume signifies the internal space within a board’s shell, determining its buoyancy. Greater volume enables the board to support more weight.
