Wakesurf Boards

What Wakesurf Board Should I Buy?

Selecting the right wakesurf board primarily hinges on your riding style. Wakesurf boards are categorized into three types: Skim shape boards, surf shape boards, and hybrid boards.

Skim Shape Boards

These boards feature thin profiles and symmetrical shapes from tip to tail. The thin profile reduces volume and positions the board deeper in the water. This design offers more control and allows for quick movements, making it ideal for performing tricks.

Surf Shape Boards

Surf-style wakesurf boards have thicker profiles, wide tails, and larger fins. The thicker profile increases buoyancy, allowing the board to float higher on the water. This design facilitates fluid movements and the extra surface area on the tail enhances forward drive. It's the perfect choice for beginners and those seeking long cruises and controlled turns.

Hybrid Boards

These boards combine elements of both skim and surf shape boards. They offer more push on the water than skim shape boards and greater maneuverability than surf shape boards, making them worth considering.

What Size Wakesurf Board Should I Get?

When purchasing a new wakesurf board, consider its length and volume.

Short wakesurf boards are slower and less stable than long wakesurf boards, and are recommended for intermediate to advanced riders. Long boards are faster, better suited for straight-line riding, and ideal for beginners.

The volume of a wakesurf board refers to the space inside the board's shell. It determines buoyancy; higher volume means the board can support more weight.
