Wakeboards

Wakeboards are used in the sport of wakeboarding to glide on top of the water. Different styles of wakeboards have various shapes and sizes. With this in mind, it’s important to keep personal preference and weight in mind. The larger the board (width and length), the better it floats and edges.

Larger wakeboards also make it more difficult to perform advanced tricks. In addition, riding styles are determined by a boards camber. Manufacturers refer to this as the boards “rocker.”The two main rockers are known as the Continuous and the Three-Stage.

 A Continuous rocker has a continuous curve throughout the top sheet. These allow the wakeboards a smoother, faster ride without surface resistance. The Three-Stage rocker is made up of a flat center and abrupt changes to the tail and nose. This design was manufactured to provide more “pop” when launching off of the boats wake, allowing for more hang-time.
