Tips for choosing a wakeboard


There are two factors to consider when choosing a board: the color of your shorts and the slope of the surface graphics. If this is not enough for you, read everything that is written below.


Board weight
The rule is simple: the lighter the board, the easier it is to ride and perform tricks on it. And the weight depends on what it is made of. Most wakeboards are made from the same materials as jet skis. Typically it is polyurethane foam coated on the outside with a fiberglass or graphite composite. Progress does not stand still, and almost every season new technologies and lighter boards appear. And only one thing remains unchanged: the lighter the board, the more expensive it is.


Board length and width
Most wakeboards range in length from 120cm to 150cm and are sized based on the rider's weight and height. There is a special correspondence table in the catalog. When in doubt, it is better to choose a longer wake, as a tall and large rider will be uncomfortable on a small board. Generally, the shorter the board, the less stability when starting out of the water and when cornering, so for beginners, a long board is also suitable, which will be easier to learn. The width of the board is generally proportional to the length.


Bending the board (Rocker)
A wakeboard is not just a foam board for a lot of money, it is a curved board. Slight buckling largely determines its "character". The larger it is, the softer and more stable the landing, the smaller it is, the more dynamic the acceleration and the higher stability on the water surface.


Keely (Fins)
Keels are needed to give the board longitudinal stability when moving on the surface and landing. Without them, it will spin by itself from side to side. All wakeboards are sold with keels and can be changed on all wakeboards. What for? Large (deep) keels - higher stability of the board when moving in a straight line, slightly less - faster "reaction" when turning. Deep keels are more suitable for beginners, but they can also be used on rough water (chop). When riding on smooth, calm water, it is best to put on small, maneuverable keels. Traditionally, the board has two keels, one on each side. Over the past couple of years, boards with four or six keels have appeared, and "built-in" keels (a specially formed bottom) have also appeared. All this made it possible to reduce the size of the keels and, at the same time, find a compromise between stability and maneuverability.


What's the bottom line?
It is better to start skating on beginner and intermediate-level boards. They are more resilient, safer and more forgiving. In addition, they are inexpensive, since no additional high-tech equipment is used in their creation. In other words, you will save tons of money before you realize that wakeboarding is what you least wanted to do.
