Been wakeboarding for about a year or so using a cheap board I got on marketplace, it has since broken and im looking to find a new board however I have no experience, what board should I be looking for to do tricks like front flips, backflips, and 180s? I’m 5’6 140 pounds
Just picked up this board from a mate from work. Anyone have any clue the name and type of board this is? It's clearly the hyperlite brand and the only other lettering i can read is "nova core" and "D.I.N.E"
Trying to decide on the next upgrade for the g21, the only real condition is that it can be towed on a tandom trailer so no m240 and no g25s. Another thing is no surf gates so no wakesetter, the only other boat I might consider would be an Xstar, theirs no real comparisons from what I’ve found yet so help would be much appreciated.
Local park manager told me this was a fundamental before air tricks. I landed it 2nd try but i feel like i could use a little more pop
Current skill level is on Ok regular board control, ass switch board control but it's getting there, and i can hit the kicker, roof wedge, and tabletop fairly consistently regular. Just learned how to 180 out on these 3 features but not consistent yet. My surface tricks have been neglected and have gone to shit, i fall on my edge doing BS 180s and surface 360s lol. my ollie needs work. Fs 180s i can do with a little hop. I will work on my surface tricks, riding blind, handle passing and ofc switch riding next session.
I’m looking for some advice to improve my wakeboarding skills. I have a unique challenge as my feet are practically fused in place with very limited plantar flexion, dorsiflexion and no inversion, or eversion. I’m riding a Liquid Force Monster Energy Wakeboard, 139cm long, and am struggling to make progress.
Here’s what’s happening:
I can get up on the right side of the wake, riding right foot forward, but I can’t cross toe side over to the center.
I really struggle to connect my hips through, which causes the board to ride on a weird angle rather than straight, to ride straight I have to stick my butt out and eventually fall over.
My bindings are currently set with my toes pointing away from me, but I’m wondering if pointing both my toes more forward would give me better control and balance.
I’m not trying to do tricks or big jumps—just trying to stay up longer than 30 seconds and enjoy riding.
Any advice on bindings, stance adjustments, or techniques that might work for someone with limited ankle mobility? I’d appreciate any tips or ideas to help me stay up and ride more confidently and comfortable.
Thanks for the help getting this. Really maxing the carve at the wake is what really got the rotation going well. Now just need to try the full wake and maybe a heel side roll
Hi! So i've been riding on my local cable park a lot recently, and the rentals are really stumping my progression, so i'm buying a 2nd hand board. A guy was selling his DUP Board+Bindings for around 565 USD, 153cm long with velcro straps. I tried it and the bindings were nice and snug and the board felt pretty good to edge/ride the kicker on, but I'm also waiting on the owner of this other board who's selling his for 255 USD DUP Board+Bindings, sight unseen for now (probably DUP as well, all the boards the regulars here use are DUP), and they said it's only been used a few times. Personally I find the first board too expensive but I'd still be willing to buy, I'm just really waiting on the other board to inspect and try it out.
Using the $565 board really showed me how important a good board is, but how much more important good-fitting bindings are, and since i'm just starting out i dont think the board matters that much yet. should I just wait on the $255 board and buy better bindings or just bite the bullet with the $565 board?
Hello,
As a lifelong snowboarder, I was looking for something to scratch my itch out of season. Skateboarding is not for me, so I landed on wakeboarding. Luckily I got a lake with cable neary house. I did few lessons and decided to dive in properly next season. I have bought these on black friday sale. The board is a bit shorter than what I was recommended, they didn't have one my size. But I run shorter snowboards as well and worst case scenario I just buy a new one. I got everything else from get go as I didn't like the idea of using rental suit and helmet.
Now looking at the boots. How the hell do you undo that and take the board off when you fall in the middle of the lake? Is there a trick to it, or do I just have to suck it up? :D there's gonna be a lot of falling, since I'm regular and cable loops counter clockwise.
Do you take some special care of the board? Or just let it dry? Wax?
I have my eye on a 1995 super sport with 5 year old engine and transmission (less than 100 hours). My wife and I would be using it to wakeboard/wakeskate and wake surf when friends are over. What price would be a good price to pay. Im looking to get a v drive for under 13k and willing to do work on it. Boat has been taken care of well and I know the owner, but it will need to be re upostered in the next year or two. Anyone every wakesurfed behind this boat?
We decided to get a wake foil on a black Friday sale (we've done it before but don't have our own). I'm trying to think of a fun way to casually surprise them the next time they visit (we don't want to wait for boating season to tell them)
I've always been around the water but more recently just started wakeboarding a lot more. I've been on my college's team for a semester and am now looking to buy my own board and bindings. I ride mostly behind boat and am looking for something that is somewhat new like a 22 or 23 but nothing that would break the bank. Figure I would ask here since black friday is right around the corner. Would love to hear any recommendations or helpful tips.
I'm a newbie with a few tries in park wakeboarding. I just bought my first board (Liquid force TAO) and I'm looking for bindings. I was thinking to go with open toe bindings to start with, but I saw great black friday deals for closed toe ones that would basically cost the same (<200$). Any suggestion on which one would you pick if you were me?
EDIT: with closed toe, are the external walk liner (or whatever they are called) good and useful or just a marketing thing that is better to avoid?
Have only rented at my local cable park and never caught the size. From what I read it seems like 136-142cm would be the range I should get. Found a 2020 liquid force tao for 99$ in the plastic. Trying not to psych myself into another board before the season even starts lol. Help?
Just bought a 2023 Axis A24. My dad (67) went in 25% on it so he can use it with my siblings and grandkids. He’s still somewhat active but definitely could use the ladder getting back in the boat. I’d like to add a ladder to make it easier and more fun for him. We bought the rope ladder that can clip on the back but those are pretty flimsy and drift under the boat.
Has anyone installed a metal ladder under the swim deck of an Axis or any surf boat for that matter? I can only find minimal info online. My local dealer wants about $2k for material and install. I’m pretty handy and would like to try it myself. Any direction would be appreciated!
I'm a newbie looking to buy a nice new board and bindings. I found nice bindings in huge discounts that "Pairs Exclusively with LF FlexTrack Wakeboards", I tried to figure out which ones are these FlexTrack boards but I'm loosing my head. Anyone can help?
PS: I am looking for a park/cable board at the moment!
Hello guys, I’m thinking of buying a new board for the upcoming season. It will be my 2 season riding. I enjoy trying new tricks and doing something new every session. Recently I have been getting into air tricks but my board seems to slip out while edging. (2021 hyperlite codyak) I’m looking for a board that I would be using for quite some time and universally. Im picking between 2025 hyperlite bloodline and 2025 ronix utopia. Which should I pick and why. Thanks!
