Board Thickness

  • Thin

    The thinnest profile for riders seeking maximum connection with the water. It enables a more engaged surfing experience, allowing riders to use a shallow fin—or no fin at all—thanks to the board’s natural grip.

  • Standard

    This thickness is perfect for riders who prefer the classic feel of a traditional wakesurf cross-section—not too thick, not too thin. It provides more sensitivity to the water than thicker boards, while offering greater buoyancy and push compared to a skimmer.

  • Thick

    This design offers the most push of any in our lineup. These thicker boards are built for speed, accelerating quickly in a straight line, and allowing riders to surf farther from the boat.
