I need wakeboard advice...?

Question

im buying a wakeboard for my birthday, but i have no clue about anything on the actual wakeboard. ive been dong wakeboard for a season and can do basic high jumps and several base inverts... i wakeboard on a pretty big lake so it can get kinda wavy.. also im 13 yr old... any advice on what type wakeboard i should get??

Answer 1

Well first you need to learn the basics of the performance of a board, which i guess ill take the time to teach you. First off, know that the performance of your wakeboard if all on the bottom. Theres a thing called ROCKER. Every decent wakeboarder out there will know what this is. It is the arch of your board and its side fins. Three stage rocker has bigger side fins and a more curved boards. Then theres continuous rocker, which is more flat. Three stage rocker is great for jumping and all around more aggressive. Continuous stage rocker is for beginners and can carve and turn easier. So my advice is to go buy a three stage CWB, Hylperlite, or Liquid Force board.

Answer 3

i started when i was 10 on a hyperlite basic board but when i actually bought a board it was the cwb board co. tatto advanced model and i would strongly recomend getting at least a advanced maby even pro model board so that u dont have to buy a new one once u get better but u use the same board. have fun

Answer 4
