Wakeboard Sizing
For beginners, choosing the right size wakeboard is incredibly important.
Each rider will develop their own riding style, but weight plays a major factor into the size you need. If you buy a wakeboard that’s too small, it won’t keep you afloat properly – that makes learning incredibly difficult.
Typically, a larger and longer wakeboard will be suited to heavier riders. Short boards are more suitable for lightweight riders.
What Size Wakeboard Do You Need?
The wakeboard sizing chart below gives you an idea of what size wakeboard a typical beginner will need. There is some slight over-lap.
For instance, look at the chart. We’ve labelled a 131cm board for those 96-150lbs.
Realistically, if you’re in the lower end of that weight, you’d get away with a slightly smaller board.
And, if you’re at the higher end of that weight spectrum, you’d get away with a wakeboard such as a 136cm/137cm.
