There are some great wakeboards around right now, but in the end the unbeatable speed and pop of the Ronix One Time Bomb made it our pick for the best wakeboard this year. For beginners we opted for the Hyperlite Skate 2.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, with both of these boards being best suited for boat waking, we picked the Hyperlite Wishbone as our top pick for those who prefer to do their wakeboarding in cable parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for those on a budget, we highly recommend the super affordable Hyperlite Motive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We spent around 11 hours researching wakeboards from the leading wakeboard brands. We considered price, features, the reputation of the wakeboard brand, and real customer reviews to make our decision, and in the end whittled down our choice to just 5 wakeboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also made sure there was a wakeboard option for all budgets and experience levels, and have a mix of cable park and boat wakeboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hyperlite Skate 2.0 sits somewhere in the middle budget wise. But beginner wakeboarders are going to appreciate just how easy it is to get out on the water and start wakeboarding with this board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hyperlite designed the board with a shorter toe-side edge. Which makes it super maneuverable, and much easier for beginners to take on wake jumps than a standard shaped board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For balance, the heel-side edge is longer, which gives the Skate 2.0 a unique, asymmetrical appearance. And although the overall surface area of the board is smaller than a standard wakeboard, this asymmetry still allows for plenty of pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re just starting out in wakeboarding, the Hyperlite Skate 2.0 is our top pick for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
