Getting into wakesurfing can be both exciting and overwhelming. We'd say mostly exciting, but with anything new comes unfamiliar territory and lots to learn. That's why we're here! As you embark on this journey, one of the most crucial steps is finding the right board. The wake experts here at ActiveWake have curated a list of the top five wakesurf boards specifically designed for beginner riders. These wakesurf boards offer stability, ease of control, and a forgiving nature, making them the perfect companion as you take your first steps.
1. Hyperlite 2024 Gromcast
Price: $349.99
Style: Hybrid
Construction: Monocoque
Why it's great for beginners: This one is great for the kiddos! The Gromcast is low volume and its' thin profile makes it easy to get the board flipped up to the rider's feet. Its' wide profile makes it stable for learning the basics. Yet, it's short enough to be easily maneuverable and allow for lots of progression! **Weight limit is 110 lbs**
2. Hyperlite 2024 Broadcast
Price: $439.99
Style: Hybrid
Construction: Monocoque
Why it's great for beginners: Possibly one of the longest standing shapes on the market, the Broadcast is tried and true. Just like the Gromcast, the Broadcast is thin in profile, making it easy to get the board flipped up to one's feet. The width of the board provides a stable ride, and the dual concave base provides enough speed to stay in the pocket with ease.
3. Hyperlite 2024 Landlock
Price: $459.99
Style: Surf
Construction: Monocoque
Why it's great for beginners: This one is great for those bigger riders or anyone trying to surf older ski boats. Tons of board to provide a stable ride and keep you in the smallest of waves. The Landlocked is similar to riding a longboard at the coast. Looking for toes on the nose mellower transitioned, laid back soul turns? This is your board!
4. Liquid Force 2024 Pod
Price: $539.99
Style: Surf
Construction: EPS | DursSurf
Why it's great for beginners: The Pod is a high performance durable surfer. If you're brand new to wakesurfing, we recommend opting for a durable board. When you eventually progress past the durable board into higher performing boards, you'll keep that beginner board on your boat for years to teach new comers. The Pod teaches newcomers and provides fun for the most advanced riders. Ride it as a quad fin for a more locked in stable feel, or take the trailers out and ride it as a twin fin for a looser feel.
5. Ronix 2024 Koal Classic Fish
Price: $699.99
Style: Surf
Construction: Koal Classic
Why it's great for beginners: This one might be a bit of a surprise on the list, but we stand by it confidently. The Koal Fish is not a "durable" surfer or typical "beginner" board, but it is truly all levels friendly. If you want a board that you'll grow into and never grow out of, this is your board! Stable and forgiving enough to get you up for your first time. Yet, high performance enough to rip big bottom turns, perform airs, dial in your 360s, and have the most fun you've ever had behind the boat!
