How to Buy Your First Wakeboard


Posted May 11, 2023 by thedestinationbc

Wakeboarding is a fun activity that many people enjoy, especially in the summertime. If you are trying it out for the first time, you need to buy your very own wakeboard.

 
There are plenty of options out there when it comes to wakeboards in Vancouver so you might find yourself struggling to find the right one.
But to help you narrow down your options to the right ones, here are a few things you need to keep in mind:
1. Consider your riding style and preference
Do you have a specific riding preference? Perhaps you want to try some complex tricks in the future. Perhaps you’re the type of rider who prefers just cruising. There are different styles that you should keep in mind. For instance, beginners should opt for the ones that boast of bigger surface area as well as good rockers. These types of wakeboards in Vancouver have a smaller learning curve.
For the wakeboarders who prefer to perform tricks and who want speed, those that have a smaller surface area would be the best choice.
2. Pick the size that is right for you.
Your weight plays an important factor when it comes to choosing the right wakeboards in Vancouver. There are recommendations for specific weight ranges. Also take note that if you prefer better flotation, you should consider picking the ones with a bigger surface area.
3. Check the rocker.
Continuous rockers are typically more ideal for beginners. They are more stable and you can get more consistency when taking those curves. That makes way for smoother rides. For those who haven’t completely grasped the control of their wakeboard, this would be a better choice.
You can perform more tricks with a three-stage rocker though. It will allow you to make more pronounced curves. You can perform lifts more flawlessly with this type of rocker as well.
4. Construction is also important.
Check the construction and see what the board is made up of. Wakeboards made from fiberglass or carbon fiber tend to be more expensive because they are more durable. The quality of these boards is unequaled. If you want something that will last long, steer clear from those made from synthetic materials like foam and plastic because they can break easily.
Do your research so you know what’s out there and what brands are worth buying. You can check out the best options at The Destination.
