The Best Wakeboards and How to Get Started
 | Liquid Force Wakeboards
Wakeboarding is an awesome sport that anyone can have fun with if they get off one the right foot. Learning to wakeboard is something that anyone with a cottage on the water, as well as a boat, can do and it's enjoyable for your entire family. Wakeboards Just follow these five steps and you’ll be having fun wakeboarding before you know it. 1. Wakeboards The most important part. If you are a beginner or you want to get a board that your friends can use to try wakeboarding, you don’t want to get an advanced wakeboard. Very advanced wakeboards will be too difficult to control and you will fall more than you ride! Wakeboards such as the Liquid Force Trip Wakeboard are a super choice. Ask for a board that has a continuous rocker and do not get the more advanced 3-stage rocker. For board size, you want to chose a wakeboard the matches your weight. Here are the ranges we recommend: Weight: 90-160 Ibs. Size: 134 cm Weight: 160-200 Ibs. Length: 138 cm Weight: 200 Ibs. Length: 142 cm or longer 2. Wakeboard Bindings For wakeboard bindings there are closed toe and open toe. Beginners should get an open toe binding, as will people that prefer a binding that can work for a few foot sizes. Chose the binding that matches your shoe size. For Bindings that are listed as small, medium, large or x-large, you should try them on to ensure you get the right fit. 3. A Wakeboard For The Cottage If you want a wakeboard package that you and several family members can use, or that can be left at your cottage for anyone to use, we suggest getting a mid-sized board, such as a 138 and a M/L binding. Just remember that if someone has very small feet, they should consider sitting this one out rather than risk being injured. You can also get two sets of bindings . 4. Wakeboard Boats Your boat has to be able to pull someone behind it on a wakeboard at about 18-25 mph. If you have an aluminum fishing boat with a 20hp engine, that won’t cut it! You also need a boat that throws a decent wake and you want a connector on the back of the boat to attach a tow rope to. 5. Good Wakeboard Ropes & Handles You need a wakeboard rope & handle. These aren't very expensive, so I suggest you get one. The good rope will last you a long time, so it's good to pay for a good one that is tangle-proof and has a comfortable grip. Wakeboards Have a great time learning to wakeboard and don’t forget to wear your life vest. |
