r/Wake

We like to put our legs through life jackets and wear them upside down to float behind the boat when anchored. A lot of lifejackets tend to get the padding bunched up or folded up and it takes a long time to move back into place. For 20+ years across friends boats, my boats, and now, I just deal with it, but I feel like there should be a better solution. Has anyone tried some sort of adhesive injected behind the surface to try to glue the foam to the exterior material? Not really interested in inflatable lilypads as they're a pain to inflate or the float saddles as I don't want to use the storage space.

Hello guys, about two weeks ago I started cable wakeboarding and I'm having a blast doing it. I'm already looking to buy my first wakeboard since my progression has been very very fast, probably bacause it was a "natural" feeling coming from snowboarding.

But about that choice, I am extremely confused because everything feels so different with sizes and boards philosophies. I have been riding with a rented Slingshot Terrain 148 cm. And the cablepark owners were moving me towards a 147 cm Liquid Force illusion (2023).

Now, the problem is, I am a 1,75 meter tall (male) and I weight exactly 65 kg. And I wanted to get by my own, from reading online opinions, a DUP Chilv pro (2026), but I don't know if I should get a 144 or 147 size, so I wanted to hear more experienced opinions about it if possible.

If it helps, for me the Slingshot terrain 148 felt smooth and fun! Also any landing felt good on my knees. And having no canals on the base was something that I enjoyed a lot.

Hello,

Help me decide on a 22-24 foot boat. My biggest thing that typically bothers me is a limited top speed, and storage in the boat for coolers. Are there any boats in this range that can run 40+ mph and have room for coolers? Doesn’t have to be new model.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

Looking to buy some new boots for boat wakeboarding, no cable. Stiffer, more rigid around the ankle to protect her, that provides good control over the board.

IMPORTANT: Riding on sea, so I need durable boots for sea salt.

I was looking into Ronix One and a friend of mine, who's very good at wakeboarding, suggested me to look into Aero 6X or liquid force boots.

My board is a Remedy 142. My current level is 180grab, managed to do my first 360s, 10 hrs of wake boarding so far. Trying some tantrums and other stuff.

Which boot is more durable for sea wakeboarding?

Which one is stiffer and provides better control?

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks.

My foot size is 27.5cm so it's a 42.5EU.

I’m currently 16 years old 5’8 135lbs and I’ve been wakeboarding for about 4 years now. I’ve been using a board I got off facebook marketplace and I’m looking to buy a new one. Except, I don’t really know where to start. My budget is probably max 400$ but I need bindings too so I’m not sure how much I should spend. I can do 180s and 360s so I want to start learning how to do flips now. I did research and they said a 3 rocker board is better? (I don’t know what that means) So really I need advice on where to buy the board, which board and which size.
Thanks

Im looking for more people to ride with but i find it difficult to meet people who wakeboard. I dont care about the skill of people i ride with, i just want to get out and fun with more people.

where do you guys find riding groups?

I’m starting to get more into trying to do tricks, but for a lot of them I need to be able to pop up the wave to get some air, such as for a 180 Shuv. I can do a decent Ollie in the flats, but haven’t ever gotten air while going up the wave. Should I try and adjust the wave till it feels better or whats the technique to jump up better?

I just Bought a new wakeboard (liquid force remedy) and it’s a boat board with 2 small fins on each side. Anyway I just got a job at a cable park and we get free rides sometimes but they don’t allow fins so would it be a problem to just unscrew them and ride without them or are their plugs that I need to get to fill the holes left over.

Worth checking out in person?

New to wake boarding and boating in general. Looking for any tips or advice on what to look for in a boat or any recommendations on a decent boat. Thanks

Went in to get an extra life jacket today and came out with 2022 Murray 150 that is still in the shrink wrap. Was 65% off and from what I can tell is identical to the 2026 other than graphics.

Plan is it will be finless and for those buttery slow speed mornings. They are calling for 0 wind tomorrow morning and can’t wait to just glide.

Wife is going to be pissed didn’t need another board but at $175 Canadian it was too good to pass. So hopefully Reddit likes this decision :) plus I can gain some weight now!

Hey all. If there’s anyone in Ontario here or states close by… would love some advice.

I’m looking to get a used wake boat with trailer and am looking for something good for wakeboarding and wake surfing. Willing to make mods to make the surf wave better. Budget ideally would be 25-45k CAD. Any realistic recommendations you would have that would be in the 2005-2015 age range that you would recommend. Realize the budget is small but sometimes gems come around.

Locally I’ve seen a few 2005-2008 air nautique 210 and sv211’s but don’t know the difference of an sv series
A few malibus and moombas but they are a bit overpriced imo.
A few master craft x2’s, x15’s and x30’s… but don’t know much about them as I was a nautique guy when I was younger.

Would love an axis but not sure my budget is realistic to get one that’s solid.

Thanks everyone.
