How do I know what size wakesurf board to get?
Riders 100-150 pounds: 4’2 – 4’10 wakesurf board. Riders 150-200 pounds: 4’10 – 5’4 wakesurf board. Riders 200-250 pounds: 5’4 – 5’10 wakesurf board. Riders over 250 pounds: 5’10 + wakesurf board. The most important thing when it comes to finding the right size wakeboard is the rider’s weight. All wakeboards have a specified range that all riders should be within. This makes it easy to zero in on the general length you should consider.
Is a longer or shorter wakeboard better?
Choosing for a shorter wakeboard In general, shorter boards are slower and take more effort to push through the water. This is because, the more surface area the board has on the water, the faster it will move across the surface. Also, landings are a bit harder on a shorter board, than on a longer board. Longer surfboards make it easier to catch waves and help surfers paddle faster. A bigger surface area gives them more stability at high speeds and also makes them ideal for use in big wave conditions. In contrast, shorter surfboards have the opposite effect.Lower Volume Boards: Offer quicker turns and more agility, but require more effort to catch waves—best suited for intermediate – experienced surfers. General Rule: Beginners should start with a board volume equal to their body weight (kg) in liters (e.Shortboards: This is the board for advanced riders who want a great performance board with top manoeuvrability. Clean and powerful conditions are ideal for this board. The shortboard is hard to paddle and it’s more difficult to catch waves with a shortboard than with a bigger board.As a general rule of thumb, the right surfboard for an intermediate surfer is usually one foot taller than his height. If you ride small-to-medium-sized waves, you can always pick a longboard or a funboard/malibu.A minimal surfboard is what we recommend for most beginner surfers. It is the mid-range of surfboards lengthwise varying from about 7-8ft and about 2 5/8″ – 3” thick. The width of a minimal can vary to cater for the rider but typically they are about 20 1/2″-22 1/2” wide.
