I'm looking to get into wakeboarding, but I don't know anything about brands and types of wakeboards. Fill me in NS. My total fact to obviliousness was that I wanted to get wake skis but decided against it. I know a good bit about those though. Thanks

head over to wakeworld


and look around there.

but for what it's worth, here are some of the companies out there

Hyperlite
Liquid Force
CWB
Byerly
RON1X
Slingshot
Mutiny
Humanoid
SINE


it depends on the rider, what you really should get. Most shops will demo boards so I would say go demo some boards and get what feels right, that's what really matters.

I would suggest trying the Hyperlite b-side, Franchise, and Union.

glad you didnt go with the wakeskis haha. I work at a wakeboard shop, and i would check out either the Ronix Vault or the Hyperlite state.

Both boards are from established reliable brands, and are asymmetrical. Naturally its easier to jump heelside and more difficult toeside. so on the toeside of the board its designed to cut harder on your toeside to help the learning curve.

as for some brands to check out

Ronix
Hyperlite
Liquid Force
Slingshot

feel free to pm me if you have any questions


ALSO if you do end up needing anything checkout http://www.redlinewatersports.com/the-proshop/
at the checkout if you enter "chads gap" as a coupon code you get a 15% discount and tootsie pop from Hank_hill :)
