Not sure what to choose?

Size

The size of your wakesurf board plays a pivotal role in your surfing experience. Larger boards offer greater stability and buoyancy, making them perfect for beginners or larger riders. They glide smoothly over the water and allow for easy control, making it simpler to catch and ride the wake. On the other hand, smaller boards are less buoyant but offer increased maneuverability and agility. These are ideal for experienced surfers who wish to perform tricks or cut sharply on the water. Choosing the correct size can significantly enhance your comfort, performance, and overall enjoyment of the sport.

Recommendation:

If rider height is less than 5'6" choose 4'8.

If rider height is greater than or equal to 5'6" then choose 5'0".

Color

Your wakesurf board is an extension of you. Pick a color that you resonate with, and ride the waves in a way that's true to you.

Skim Style Fins

The size of your wakesurf board plays a pivotal role in your surfing experience. Larger boards offer greater stability and buoyancy, making them perfect for beginners or larger riders. They glide smoothly over the water and allow for easy control, making it simpler to catch and ride the wake. On the other hand, smaller boards are less buoyant but offer increased maneuverability and agility. These are ideal for experienced surfers who wish to perform tricks or cut sharply on the water. Choosing the correct size can significantly enhance your comfort, performance, and overall enjoyment of the sport.

Recommendation:

If rider wants more agility, choose 0 or 1 skim style fins.

If rider wants more speed, choose 2 or 3 skim style fins.

Surf Style Fins

Surf style fins are typically larger and provide more grip and control than skim style fins. Their increased surface area allows for better tracking and stability on the water, especially when carving hard or riding larger wakes.

Similar to a surfboard, these fins make your wakesurf board feel more locked-in and responsive to weight shifts, making them ideal for aggressive carving, large air tricks, and riding in bigger, powerful waves. Surf style fins offer a more high-performance ride and are favored by riders who prefer a surfing feel on the water as opposed to a looser, skimming sensation.

Just like with skim style fins, the number of surf style fins can be adjusted to tailor your riding experience, whether you're seeking optimal control, speed, or maneuverability. However, due to their larger size and shape, surf style fins generally make the board less prone to sliding and more attuned to carving and aggressive maneuvers.

Recommendation:

If rider wants more agility, choose 0 surf style fins.

If rider wants more speed, choose 2 surf style fins.

Fin Configuration

0-Fin Configuration: A finless board will give the freest experience on the water. This setup provides a completely loose and slippery feel, great for performing tricks like spins and slides. However, it demands a high level of skill and balance, as there's minimal stability and grip.

1-Fin Configuration: Also known as a single fin setup, this is the classic configuration that provides a balance between control and freedom. The single fin offers enough traction for stable rides but still allows for some playfulness and maneuverability on the water.

2-Fin Configuration: Twin fin configurations offer great control and stability, particularly for side-to-side movement. This setup is known for its ability to generate speed and provide a fun, responsive ride. It's suitable for riders who want more control without sacrificing the ability to perform tricks.

3-Fin Configuration: Also known as a thruster setup, this configuration is one of the most versatile. It offers great stability, control, and maneuverability. The outer fins provide grip and control, while the center fin offers stability. This configuration is perfect for surfers of all levels and is particularly favored by those looking for balanced performance across different wave conditions.

4-Fin Configuration: This configuration, also known as a quad setup, provides an excellent blend of speed, control, and stability. The four fins work together to generate speed, while simultaneously offering a high degree of control and predictability. This setup is highly maneuverable and perfect for executing sharp turns and aggressive moves, while still providing a good level of stability. Quad configurations are generally favored by riders looking for speed and power, particularly in larger wave conditions.

5-Fin Configuration: The 5-fin configuration is the ultimate in versatility. It provides riders with the option to switch between single fin, twin fin, thruster (3 fins), or quad setups depending on the water conditions and their personal preferences. When all five fins are used together, the board gains additional hold and control, especially useful in larger or choppier waters. This configuration allows for a high degree of customization, making it suitable for all skill levels and riding styles. It gives riders the flexibility to experiment and discover their ideal setup for different wave conditions and performance needs.

Recommendation:

If rider is advanced, choose any fin configuration.

If rider is intermediate, choose 1-fin, 2-fin or 4-fin configuration.

If rider is beginner, choose 3-fin or 5-fin configuration.
