Wakeboard Packages

Wakeboard Package FAQs

Buying a new wakeboard package can be a big purchase. If you've got questions, check out our answers to these frequent queries.

1. What size wakeboard should I buy?

The answer to this common and essential question will depend on a few factors. These include your weight, your skill level, and your desired riding style. Wakeboards start under 130 centimeters, which are typically reserved for kids or very light adults under 100 pounds. Average individuals between 100 pounds and 250 pounds will find their ideal length between 130 centimeters and 148 centimeters, with heavier riders needing longer boards. Those over 250 pounds will need wakeboards as large as 150 centimeters. 

Generally, beginners should stick with longer boards relative to their weight, while experienced riders and those who love doing tricks can opt for shorter, more maneuverable ones.

2. How are wakeboard bindings sized?

Wakeboard bindings are assigned sizes that correspond to traditional American shoe sizes. In most cases, riders will use bindings that are the same size or close to their everyday shoe size. However, it's always vital to try on bindings whenever possible to ensure a snug (but not too snug) fit. When talking about wakeboard binding size, buyers shouldn't forget the difference between open- and closed-toe bindings. Their main design difference is apparent from their name. Closed-toe bindings offer finer control and more responsive movement, while open-toe ones allow a bit more flexibility in foot size, a valuable feature when multiple people are using the same bindings.

3. What are the common types of wakeboards?

There are two main types of wakeboards, split up based on how and where they're used: boat wakeboards and cable park wakeboards. Cable park wakeboards are designed to be ridden in special wakeboard parks where riders are towed by cable through an area that includes obstacles or trick features. Boat wakeboards can be ridden behind a boat or other watercraft. These can be further broken down by construction, from the continuous rocker design with one smooth curve to the three-stage boards that have a flat spot in the center of the board to help with bigger tricks and higher jumps. Hybrid options are also available that blend both continuous and 3-stage rockers in one wakeboard. Boards also vary through features like fins, which can provide extra stability for boat wakeboards.
