Our pro shop team is dedicated to fitting you with the board that’s just right, and with brands like Hyperlite, Ronix, Phase 5, and Doomswell on hand, we’ve got you covered!

First things first, what are you trying to achieve with a new board? Whether you’re new to wakesurfing, or you’re looking to stomp your first ever 360, understanding your own needs are key. Every Board is unique in its own way depending on the shape, size, and construction.

Check out a few of our favorite shapes for this season!

Beginner - If you are just getting started, then these models will be sure to help you on your surfing journey. Great for learning to get up, and dialing in the basics.

SHIM

The Hyperlite Shim is one of the best all-around boards on the market. It also just so happens to be the most popular board in the Waterski America Pro Shop. This board accommodates to all levels of riding. It’s hybrid shape allows for ample control and stability, but a loose enough feel to learn your first 360. Perfect board for anybody who joins your lake party. 

Oogle

Phase 5 has been making this board since the very beginning. A skimboard by nature that has a generous amount of surface area that allows for extra stability as you get used to that loose feel. The Oogle is a perfect board to learn on, and may end up being you “old reliable” as you build your quiver. 

Intermediate – For those who are ready to take their riding to the next level 

Ronix Parks Thruster

The Parks Carbon thruster takes what is best about a traditional ocean surfer and combines it with superior performance behind the boat. Its straighter, more narrow rails make this board very efficient and fast down the line while the increased nose rocker helps you lay into your bottom. 

Hyperlite Automatic

The Automatic is the big brother to the shim. With its swallow tail and thinner traditional nose, this board is very fun and snappy on any wave. Its low profile and flatter rocker will help the board spin 360’s and shoves. 

Advanced – If you are spinning 3’s and boosting airs then these boards are for you 

Ahi & Wire

The Phase 5 Ahi and wire are two surfing machines that have proved to be a favorite among many. Not only are these boards fast and powerful, but their durability is yet to be matched. Ideal for the experienced rider looking to add some aggression to their line-up.

Varial boards

Hyperlite has come out with a whole new line of boards for this season. Hand shaped in Ventura, California, these boards offer a very authentic surf feel that mimics an ocean ride. Customize your board with additional traction pads and fins, and show them off to all your buddies. 

Neo and nubstep

Doomswell has been making a name for themselves in the wakesurfing industry and if you haven’t heard of them yet, you surely will in the future. Each board is shaped in Houston, Tx and delivers a custom feel that is becoming the industry standard. These high-volume boards are both fun, responsive, and are sure to meet your expectations on the water. 

Cruisers – Sometimes all we want is to get out and cruise. These boards are guaranteed to help you hang loose.

El Jefe

Another board straight from the Doomswell line-up, the El Jefe is nothing short of one of the most fun boards on the market. With a thruster fin set-up, you have the ability to dial in your ride just how you like it. Don’t be fooled by its size, ride back as far as you can and feel this boards maneuverability. 

Phase 5 Kong

The Kong is a flat-out beast. The board itself is very durable with Phase 5’s gator skin protecting its hand shaped foam core. Get any rider dropping the rope on this board that will have no problem staying tucked into a Malibu’s wave.

Long board

The long board is a great board to feel the surf vibes and learn to flow like a pro. More surface area helps you catch the wave and its mellow shape makes every movement nice and easy. Hop on this board to finish off a long day on the water, or use it to help a friend get up for their first. It’s up to you
