WAKESURF BOARDS
Hyperlite Moab Wakesurf Board
Price: $999.99
Style: Surf Style
Sizes: 4'6, 4'9, and 5'0
What's New: Built to match Joey Harris’s hard-charging ride style, the Moab earns its title as the Mother of All Boards. Drawing from Joey’s ocean-surf background, this traditional surf-style shape delivers serious speed, strong down-the-line drive, and plenty of pop. Fast rail-to-rail transitions and reverse channels in the tail give it a playful, skate-inspired feel—especially when you ditch the trailer fins and run it as a twin.
Phase 5 Viper Wakesurf Board
Price: $1,045
Style: Surf Style
Sizes: 49", 52" and 55"
What's New: The Viper delivers a loose surf feel with tons of speed and serious pop. Its aggressive rail contour runs from nose to tail, creating a sharp leading edge for smooth, easy releases. This is a true high-performance board, ready to help you land whatever trick you’re chasing next.
Ronix Women's Aura Wakesurf Board
Price: $799.99
Style: Skim Style
Sizes: 48" and 52"
What's New: Last year, Ronix launched the Osmo, one of the most sought-after skim boards on the market. This year, they’re introducing the Aura—a lighter, more compact take on the original. For skim riders looking to level up, this board delivers. With its low swing weight and responsive feel underfoot, the Aura makes progressing and landing new tricks easier than ever.
Ronix Carbon Air Core 4 Wakesurf Board
Price: $999.99
Style: Skim Style
Sizes: 53" and 58"
What's New: Speedwalls on a wakesurf board? Yep. Ronix took a cue from their wakeboard lineup and added speedwalls to the beloved Carbon Skimmer. The result is a board that rides faster and sits higher on the water. With an updated rocker line, it now feels smoother than ever—both regular and switch. If you’re looking to elevate your skim game, this board has everything you need.
WAKEBOARDS
Liquid Force Origin Wakeboard
Price: $499.99
Rocker: 3-Stage Rocker
Sizes: 136, 140, and 144
What's New: Oh man, this board rips. Don’t take our word for it—Luca Kidd’s Brostock-winning backside 1080 is all the proof you need. The shape packs a ton of preloaded pop, lively flex, and buttery-soft landings that keep things fun and forgiving. No matter your skill level, this board lets you tap into that top-tier wakeboard feel.
Hyperlite Rage Wakeboard
Price: $599.99
Rocker: 3-Stage Rocker
Sizes: 139, 142, and 145
What's New: This board might just be all the rage for 2026. It’s the shape Hyperlite had been missing—and one their athletes have been requesting for years. Built with an extra-fast three-stage rocker, it delivers explosive speed and pop. The chined rails add traction and agility, while the cupped rails and shallow concave tips provide solid grip with a clean, predictable release.
WAKE FOILS
Ronix Blackbird Foil Board | 29" Velo Mast High Aspect Foil Package
Price: $3,399.99
What's New: This new foil board delivers a lively, reactive ride thanks to its recessed deck. The deck sets you deeper into the board for a stronger connection between you, the board, and the foil. With two 3'10" options available, you can choose the volume that fits your style. The thinner 13L model offers a highly responsive feel, while the 20L version provides a smoother, more energetic ride. The Blackbird comes paired with the 29" Velo mast and High Aspect Foil Wings. For a pump-focused setup, try the 910 front wing; for a more controlled yet still snappy ride, go with the 1010. We test rode the 13L/910 combo and we were very stoked, we know you can't go wrong with however you set up this innovative foil package!
Liquid Force Horizon Foil Board | Launch Alloy 1200 Fuselock Foil Package
Price: $1,799.99
What's New: Replacing the beloved Pod and Flite 120 foil package, Liquid Force is rolling out the new Horizon foil board paired with the Launch Alloy 1200 Fuselock foil set. This all-around setup is beginner-friendly enough to get first-time foilers up and flying, yet still offers plenty of performance for more experienced riders. With Liquid Force’s innovative Fuselock technology now incorporated into their entry-level kits, novice riders get the added efficiency, stability, and forgiveness that make the Fuselock design so special.
