The Ultimate Guide to the Best New Wakeboards of 2024

As the summer of 2024 kicks off, the wakeboarding scene is buzzing with excitement over the latest gear. This year's lineup features innovative designs, advanced materials, and technologies that promise to elevate your riding experience. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, there's a wakeboard out there that will suit your style and skill level. Let’s dive into the standout wakeboards of 2024.

1. 2024 Ronix Utopia 

Trent was looking for a conventional construction but wanted to have the board taper through the tip and tail to the thinnest profile of any Ronix board. The result is a board that loads into a tip or tail press easier than anything we have ever ridden which works well for both beginners and seasoned pros.

  • Riding Level - Advanced
  • Rocker - Continuous


2. 2024 Hyperlite Rusty Pro

Size matters according to Rusty Malinoski. His new Rusty Pro wakeboard shape provides the surface area for massive airs but he says 'My board feels lighter than anything I've ever ridden. With more length comes a wider overall profile, creating a more poppy feel, Light & poppy & snappy' says Rusty.

Tips for Choosing the Right Wakeboard


When selecting a wakeboard, consider your skill level, riding style, and the type of wake you usually ride. Here are a few tips to help you make an informed decision:

 

  • **Skill Level:** Beginners should look for boards with continuous rockers and wider profiles for stability. Intermediate and advanced riders can opt for three-stage or hybrid rockers for more aggressive performance.
  • **Riding Style:** If you prefer big air and tricks, choose a board with a stiff construction and aggressive rocker. For a more laid-back, surf-like experience, go for a board with a continuous rocker and flexible core.
  • **Wake Type:** Consider the size and shape of the wake you’ll be riding. Smaller wakes benefit from boards with more pronounced rockers to generate lift, while larger wakes allow for a variety of board shapes and styles.

How to choose the size?

Choosing a wakeboard is based on your weight, check out our size chart to help you choose the correct board. Be mindful that some boards you will have to size up adding another 5-8cm on to your board. Need some more help?  Give us a call on 01202 738448 we can help you through sizing!
