I am looking for a wakesurf board that is the next step up from a beginner board. I currently have a beginner board and want to try and improve my surfing. Not looking to break the bank let me know what you have.

Thanks

State your location. It would be easier for both parties to not to have to ship something.

Height and weight of the people that would be riding it would help too.

I bought a cheap board to begin to make sure id be able to surf and to be sure my boat would be surfable. I bought a Liquid Force Slaysh wakesurfer. It seems to be a pretty good beginner board, and is durable to to keep around for new people on the boat.

Would a skim style be faster and potentially ride better on a smaller wave? I have and "04 mobius running the bow bag full, the ski locker bag full, the rear bench bag full, i have a 500lb bag on the surf side of the dog house, and i am also running a homemade wakeshaper. The wave is actually pretty good I think. Not as long as I would like, but still alot of fun.

The Model X is a great board.

Does anyone know anything about the Phase 5 Diamond CL? Is that to much of a beginner board? Or is it a pretty good intermediate to advanced board?

if it has the 3 fin configuration it will be a good crossover board, for Int to advanced if just the single it will be skim style all the way and advanced IMHO

My son rides the Ronix Super Space Odyssey Powertail and my buddy has the Ronix Skim Skater Honeycomb and Ronix Marshmallow. All good boards. We had an early Koal design (all black board) and it was slow as shit.

They have really come a long way in surfboard designs since they first started.

Question is; what kind of board and surfing style do you like?

I am fairly new to surfing I have a very beginner surf board. I think I'd like to stay with the surf style but get something a bit faster that lets me be able to do some good cutting as well.

Not sure I have the skill yet for a loose riding skim style board.

Not sure I have the skill yet for a loose riding skim style board.I have a Ronix Potbelly Rocket, my daughter and buddy's daughter have the Super Sonic Space Odyssey Powertail (they're kids/small rider boards), and my buddy just got a used Ronix The Blender.

My Rocket is just that - super fast, and especially with all 3 fins on. It's a little looser with just the center fin, but the rails turn down into the water, so I'm thinking 360s will be pretty much impossible on it.

I rode his Blender, and it is FUN. Fast, pretty easy to break loose, and seems like it would be able to do 360s pretty easily. If I had it to do over, I'd probably buy it instead of the Rocket.

Fastest board I have ridden to date is the Phase 5 Aku. People say it’s a skin but I question that. It’s too thick and rides more like surf style and has two big surf fins on it. Like I said super fast and you can slash with it like a samurai.

Try the hyperlite HIFI its a fast skim style board but still very stable with 3 fins best way to explain its like driving a corvette you know if you give it to much gas she’ll send you spinning side ways but you take it easy and cruise and it’ll cruise all day long

My wife is a beginner rider and she loves the hifi and it’ll let her grow into it.


I’m a big dude so I run the liquid force sixer fast board, with 2 fins lets me get some nice cuts in but feel limited on what I can do with it I got it on clearance from evo for 200 bucks only reason I got it

Have you asked your dealer to demo a board
