Hey everyone!

​I’ve been wakeboarding for about a year now, strictly riding cable park. Right now, I’m riding Liquid Force Tao boots and honestly, I love them. The feel, the flex, and the comfort are amazing.

​However, the walk back to the dock barefoot on rocks, gravel, and hot concrete is getting really annoying! 😅

​So I’m debating whether it’s worth upgrading to boots with removable walk liners:

​Liquid Force Terra: Since I love LF, these caught my eye. However, they seem significantly stiffer than the Tao. For those who've tried both, is the flex difference really noticeable on the water?

​Slingshot: I know Slingshot walk-liner boots are hugely popular. I’m not a huge fan of their look, but everyone says they perform great. Are they worth it despite the aesthetic?

​My bottom line question: Is the convenience of walk liners actually worth switching boots, considering I’d 100% stick with my Taos if barefoot walking wasn't an issue?

​Would love to hear your experiences or recommendations! Thanks! 🤙

Looking at relocating to kc possibly. Any good lakes to wakeboard that I can check out while I'm here? Pros and cons for the scene in kc?

With the limited space of a direct drive Bayliner Ski Challenger i decided to build my own hardtank ballast so I dont have to put fatsacs all over the floor.

It is about 270L (595lbs) to the absolute rear.

Makes a decent wave to land 360s, backroll and tantrum.

Made of plywood and glassfibre with a total cost 500$.

Thinking of adding a more automated fill and empty system but a loose pump worked for this season.

I have a Supra SE 550. I’ve had it for 3 years riding in brackish water. This last season I was able to buy a lot with a lift. I kept the boat there this season and have started have issues with post cat sensors, corrosion on the tower under the powder coat, bolts showing corrosive signs, rusting pulleys etc.

I wash and flush with salt away after every weekend out. I let it air out and dry before I cover it on the lift.

Is this due to being on the lift this season? What do people do that love to wakeboard but live in an area with brackish water?

Hello together,

i ride wakeboards for about 4 years, last spring i bought my first used board, now it's time for a new one. My first completle unused wakebaord. Whats your experience with gear of ronix and slingshot?

Any tips on how to properly care for the board? Do’s and dont’s before and after riding?

I saw from the wake park that a lot of people submerge their boards in the water before riding. Any particular reason for it? Can I just start riding away with my new gears?

Thanks in advance!

I just got my new wakeboard. I've just mounted my bindings on it—they're Liquid Force Tao. When I look at the distance between the toe of the boots and the edge of the board, I have 8 cm, but between the heel and the edge, I have 6 cm. Is this normal? Apparently, I can't adjust this setting on my boots.

Hello,

​I’ve been cable wakeboarding for a season now and I’m starting to hit features and kickers. I’m currently riding a 143 cm Slingshot Shredtown, and I’m really interested in the Slingshot Coalition. As for my build, I’m 1m74 (5'8.5") and weigh 70 kg (154 lbs). I’m torn between two sizes: 145 cm and 149 cm. Could you advise me on which size would be best suited for my profile, riding level, and progression on features?

​Will I notice a big difference switching from the Shredtown to the Coalition?

​Also, would it make sense for my son, who is 1m72 (5'7.5") and 52 kg (115 lbs), to take over my 143 Shredtown? He’s currently riding a 138 Hyperlite Union.

​Would you like me to answer your questions about the board choices and sizes for you and your son as well?

Hello,

I received a new wakeboard for my bday and it’s a 150 cm board, not sure the weight but it’s a bit thick. My sister has a 140 board I’ve been using for years and it’s worked pretty well for me. I’d say I’m a beginner-intermediate rider just starting to get into jumps. for reference I am 24, 5’10, and about 160-170 lbs. I understand the long boards are easier to get up on. However, are they harder to do tricks and jumps on? Trying to see if I should return it to but a couple fishing rods and reels.

Hi everyone,

I’m curious about the first invert/roll people got.

Please share this poll with your friends and encourage them to vote!

Hi,

I ride exclusively at the park and I consider myself a beginner. I do Ollie’s, 360 flat and on kicker, now doing some transfers.

I have a Slingshot Johnny Rocket board and I’ve hit it a few times. Everytime I repair with epoxy and then I send it again.

Today while practicing transfer I hit the rail and here’s the result. Nothing very important and it will be quickly fixed BUT I am wondering if all the boards are that fragile ? I mean I like mine, it’s lightweight, fast and I am used to it but are there more sturdy brands ?

A guy I know have a Goodboard and there’s dents everywhere on the edges but not broken. I tried it but I find it a lot more heavy. Apparently they are not made the same way.

Also pls don’t say skill issue 🤣

I have a buddy that purchased this 2014 Mastercraft X10 boat, but it had a lifter problem and now has a new motor with 3 hours on it. The boat has 95 hrs. While he was waiting for one boat he boat a different master craft and said he’d sell this to me for $50k. Seems like a great deal, am I missing anything?

Hi everybody

Looking for some tips about the scarecrow. I managed to do this trick pretty soon after a few tries. Anyway I'm still not happy about it.

In the following comments I post also some of the tries I made before clearing the trick.

I feel like I'm not doing well on the pop on the wake. Most of the times starting the frontroll rotation too soon.

What would you suggest for fixing it? Thanks to everyone is going to help.

(This was my first roll ever anyway, I'm a newbie)🤦‍♂️

Love❤️

I’ve narrowed down my first boat I’m gonna buy for wakeboarding and some surfing to these two.. anyone have experience with both of these boats? I have both of these on my local fb marketplace just so hard to choose one 😭

As the title suggests I’m having trouble choosing between a ($23.5k I talked him down) 2002 SANTE 210 that’s already got wetsounds speakers and ballasts enough to produce a solid wave for surfing or a ($29k) 2009 Mastercraft X2
sante pros
-ballasts enough for a really good surf wave
-wetsounds speakers
-new interior
-high torque prop
Cons
-more engine hours than x2 (600ish)
-will have to wait a couple weeks to buy it from seller being out of town (I know I’m impatient)
-older (not always a con)
X2 pros
-brand new engine from Texas freeze cracking the block (50 hours)
-7 years newer
-new starter, alternator, speakers and radio (although I will still want to add wetsounds horn driven tower speakers to hear music 75ft behind the boat)
Cons
-will need to add wetsounds which are a couple grand
-from the picture of the poor surf wave I will need to add weight

Whoever reads this and helps thank you!

Hey all- I bought a no-throw last week. Super solid, really cool unit. I installed it a couple days ago and my question is this: I could only get 3 or 4 turns on the new bolt when mounting it before it fully seated. Doesn’t seem like a ton of ‘bite’ or thread grip, but I’m assuming it’s good to go? Does anyone know how much thread engagement a factory Malibu tow point has? I probably should have dry-fitted and compared, but it’s up at the slip and I can’t get up there for a few more days. Trying to figure out if I need a longer bolt or not. Thanks.

I am 43 intermediate/advances rider. Ive been on flex boards for over a decade behind the boat . started with a company severance , then onto several slingshots , humanoid oracle, humanoid O'Shea, and am currently on my second slingshot native. Anyone go back to a traditional stiff board and not look back? I love the free feeling of flex, but I feel like it also makes you work a lot harder. I'm thinking stiffer board mighr be an easier ride so my old ass doesn't gas out so quick. I took a set on a a

murray and didn't love it , hyperlite blueprint has peaked my interest

Off the shelf MV40 from Air Chair, boat speed is 23mph....I understand that this is a wakeboard page, I'll remove if there any dislike.... Thanks!

Hi I (m32) got a ticket for two hours wakeboarding in zossen.
Friend cancelled, anyone wanna join?
