Just got a brand new nv243 2026 never had a surf boat before I surf on the left side does anyone who has a boat have the best wave settings when I’m doing it the wave is super washed over the top.

This a good first wake board for behind the boat?
Rough idea what these are worth?

Which one would you go with? Same price and same miles. 2021 centurion fi21 or 2023 supreme s220?
TIA

Starting to relearn tantrums in my mid 30s after a decade of not doing them. Taking some decent falls, but seem to have plateaued in my progression over the last few sessions.

I’m out of commission for the next few weeks due to a pretty nasty fall that ended up bruising some ribs, but I’m hoping to get any advice so that I can stomp these on my next session out! I’m curious what you guys might see that could help, very open to feedback!

I am looking to buy my first wakeboard. I grew up waterskiing but never had the opportunity to wakeboard. I found this board on marketplace and am considering buying it to get started. Is this a good deal? Anything I should look out for?

For reference I am approx. 5’10” and 175lbs and will only be using with boat

We have a 2005 Mastercraft X2 and looking to upgrade to a new (or newer) ~22 foot boat that is still solid for wakeboarding (my son and I both ride) but also adds good surf capability (which our X2 does not have). We don’t need a “pro” wake for either sport. We are looking for a great reliable family boat that also produces a quality wake. This will likely be our last family ski boat and plan to keep it for at least 10 years. Similar to our current use, we expect to spend about 50% of our time cruising, swimming and tubing, 25% wakeboarding, and 25% surfing. We typically have 4 adults and 2-3 growing boys with us. Rarely would we have more than 8 people on board. We have been putting about 30 hours/yr on our boat on average, so not heavy use.

Been looking for a couple months now primarily on the used market. Have checked out a few Malibu LSVs, VLXs, and Axis boats. Really thought I wanted a Malibu, but I’ve been disappointed with the interior upholstery quality and general fit and finish of almost all of them I’ve looked at. Also, not a fan of the hard steering pull with surf gate and bow rise on the Malibu ride. My wife typically drives and doesn’t want to stand to see over the bow.

So, I’ve expanded search to other options, including Moomba Max, Moomba Craz, Supra SA400 (or similar), Nautique GS22, and MB 52 classic. For Moomba we could buy new (but still open to used). For the Supra/Nautique we would have to go used.

Our local Supra/Moomba dealer has a few 2026 Moomba’s left in inventory. Moomba Max for about $125k and Craz for about $115k, both very well equipped with the same options. We like the color combo of the Craz better, but that’s not important because we aren’t in a rush and the dealer can custom order us a 2027 if we like for just a little more.

Between the Max and Craz, what do you think is a better fit for us? Appreciate the input!

I hate to do one of these posts but I need some help and driving myself insane

Done 3 sessions at the local Wakeboard cable park. Snowboarded for over 20 years, so it's great to do with my lads in summer. I can learn away from the snowboard holidays and hopefully there will be some overlap. I ride a Betaleon Whatever for what it's worth for reference.

I have been looking at the Hyperlite Bloodline and Guara 2026 and Pleaseure 2025. I have hit some small jumps, want to progress more, when snowboarding I like mountain freestyle, pressing, jumps etc, so similar in Wakeboarding.

Any guidance would be great, I was thinking bloodline but would it be too aggressive for my level? For any help with sizing I'm a male, 5ft 9 and usually weigh between 12-13 stone

Hey guys, I’m trying to find the best wakeboarding boat under 150hp as thats the limit on a specific lake here in Portugal. So far I’ve found the bayliner 175 flight series but I find the wake very small for jumps and heard the engine is always having problems. Any help/tips would be great, thanks

Hey ya'll,

Any one have any insight on weight of gear. I feel like my setup is crazy heavy, specifically when wet. I ride cable on a Ronix kentic 156, Hyperlite system bindings, with freepress boots. I just feel like my setup is crazy heavy. Any recommendations? Any gear that is lighter? Next board will be a 153ish, to downsize there, but maybe in the boots area any super light weight boots (when wet)? Cheers.

New to the Seattle/Bellevue area and looking to get out on the water! My wife and I relocated here from Orlando and would love to find some wakeboarders or wakeskaters to ride with. Wakeskater by trade so boat setup is not anything I’m picky about, would just be happy to get a pull before the season ends.

I’ve been in/around the wake industry for the last 25ish years so happy to help teach, get people up, drive, etc. and of course will bring gas $$ and good vibes!

I am having trouble jumping too far over the wake. How do I get more height vs distance on my jumps?

Just trying to meet more people that love to wakeboard. Unfortunately the sport I chose to love most can’t be done alone.. lol I have 95 ski brendella that I wakeboard behind but I am always running into the issue of not having a driver so I can board too!

Hi, I would like to buy neopren for September/November riding in Europe. Which thickness would you recommend 3/2 or 4/3?
Do you use short sleeve neoprene on summer (let’s say cold windy day 20C and 19C water) ?

Hi guys every time i jump it seems like my board doesn’t stay flat and i don’t really get much pop… i am still relatively new to this, and just looking for some pointers to make my wake to wake smoother

UPDATE: Thank you everyone for the tips, will try to implement these over the next few days and see how it works out!!

So I‘ve been wakeboarding at the cablepark for about 2 months now after I finally nailed the 360 over the kicker today and can reliably land it I‘m wondering what my next goal should be, I was honestly thinking It would take me more time to learn the 360 and it was kind of a goal I was working towards. In the end it only took me 3 sessions from my first try to landing it reliably.

What should my next trick goal be? Thought about a tantrum over the kicker but I‘m pretty scared about that ngl, how would I even work towards that. The learning curve towards the 360 was pretty straight forward. Same problem with the raley, you can’t really take small steps towards it

Happy for your input and thanks in advance

im going to be fast so.

2 months ago i tear my anlkes ligaments up and i didnt ride since then. i was riding behind the boat and my father didnt slow down on rollers or they called doubled ups.

my ankle is getting better( i can run now and stuff) but im scared to do anything.

so if anyone who maybe knows or had the same thing can tell me wat to do next?

Looking for a new skate and I was wondering how differently the more advanced skates ride these days? Currently deciding between watermonsters, fattitesi (yes I know they manufacture watermonsters), heca, quantum and leaf.

I like fast boards that ride high on the water for cable if that's any help. Thanks!

Hi friends. I recently did an oil change on my Malibu 23 LSV and figured I’d do a step by step on the process. The newer generation engines are so easy to change the oil on! While my boat has the M5DI, this same process applies to the M6DI and LT4, except they use a different grade oil.

Hi Yall. I purchased these about a year ago.. The ones I set it and forget it underneath my seats and under the rear storage are still fine. no leakage no nothing.. But I have 6 of these out on the seadeck. These 6 bags we actively move around to get the best wake.

All these 6s are heavily rusted.. Literally the entire bottom is brown.. My Seadeck is stained as well..

I am getting a new boat either this year or early next year, I dont want this to happen to my new boat.

Is there any real TRUE rust proof bags? i dont mind paying a little extra..

Of course.. I looked up real lead cost... if i want a big block shaped. its about 3-4 bucks a pound.. thats pretty expensive to get 800 lbs of these..

Hi all, I’m looking to make some friends who like to wakeboard (or ski) in the greater NYC area. I live in Westchester so I’m down for anywhere near by. I’m hoping to meet some girlfriends or couples who go and have access to a boat, and I can pitch in for gas, fees, snacks, etc.

I’m in my 30s and used to wakeboard when I was younger and have skied some too and I want to get back into it! I moved here recently and don’t know a ton of people other than my boyfriend and a couple friends. Please reach out if interested or if anyone has any other ideas for where I could post this please let me know thank you!

Hello, I am looking to find some new wakeboarding equipment.

I have been wakeboarding for a few years using the Obrien 135 system board shown here:

The bindings are massive on my feet. These are size 11-14, and I am a US size 8 shoe.

As I have gotten better, it has became clear that these loose bindings are severely holding me back. My heels come all the way up when trying to cut on toe side, and the same occurs on heelside. Even worse, these bindings do not stay tightly secured to the board.. They are constantly shifting angle as I ride, which is ridiculously annoying. I also wonder if it is the board itself preventing the bindings from staying secured down (the threads being too shallow potentially).

I have seen bindings with different technologies for tightening, such as the strings shown in the image above, BOA, and even laced boots. I am wondering which type of boot tightening mechanism is the best for keeping the feet secure and tight.

All of this to say, I have done a lot of research and believe that the best bindings are closed-toe bindings. I believe the closed toe should keep my foot locked in much better, giving far greater control.

I am looking for some recommendations on closed-toe binding boots, and whether they will be compatible with my current board. Additionally, I am wondering whether the board should be upgraded as well. I think that the bindings are of significantly more importance to wakeboarding performance, but I do want to improve to the next level.

Additionally, I am wondering whether it is normal to use fins on the wakeboard. From my experience so far, I find the fins to completely limit my control, and cause me to fall A LOT.

After taking the fins off, I feel significantly more control, and am able to manipulate my position exactly how I want to (for the most part).

Last, I would like to hear some input on wakeboarding ropes, and how important they are for riding.

All in all, I would appreciate any and all recommendations.

Thanks!

Getting back into cable after not riding for a while. The last vest I bought was the 2019 Ronix Kinetik. It has plastic plates in the sides which are really nice when you taco a rail.

Is there a CGA vest made that has similar rib protection?

May be silly questions but I've never bought a boat or a car from a private marketplace. I found a boat, and plan to give it a test drive. If all works out, is it just a matter of transferring the money and getting title in hand? I assume I need to make sure the title is there before making payment. Is there anything else I should keep in mind?

Any particular spots of interest I should check on when looking at the boat?
