Wakesurf Boards

Which Wakesurf Board Should I Purchase?

The selection of a wakesurf board largely depends on your riding preferences. These boards are classified into three types: Skim shape boards, surf shape boards, and hybrid boards.

Skim Shape Boards

These boards are characterised by their slim profiles and symmetrical contours from end to end. A slim profile results in less volume and a deeper position in the water. This form offers enhanced control and facilitates swift manoeuvres. Such boards are ideal for those seeking a board with high responsiveness to execute tricks.

Surf Shape Boards

Boards designed for surf-style have thicker profiles, broad tails, and larger fins. Their thickness provides increased buoyancy, enabling them to ride higher on the water's surface. This style ensures smoother motion on the water and the expanded tail surface area produces greater forward propulsion. This type of board is ideal for beginners and those aiming for prolonged cruises and smooth, controlled turns.

Hybrid Boards

These boards are a blend of skim and surf shapes. They are worth considering if you desire more push on the water than offered by skim shape boards, and more agility than surf shape boards.

What Size Wakesurf Board Should I Choose?

When acquiring a wakesurf board, its length and volume are crucial factors.

Short boards offer reduced speed and stability compared to longer ones. They are better suited for riders with intermediate to advanced skills. Conversely, longer boards provide increased speed, excel in straight-line riding, and are excellent for beginners.

The volume of a wakesurf board refers to the internal space within the board's structure. It affects buoyancy; a higher volume means the board can support more weight.
