But on the other hand, advanced riders do not prefer to ride a board designed for beginners. Beginner boards simply don’t perform the same way as advanced boards do. So when it comes to finding the best wakeboards for women, you need to look for a board that matches your skill level, riding style, and physical size.

What To Look For in a Women’s Wakeboard

What features should you look for in a wakeboard? What characteristics take a wakeboard from a beginner level board to a wakeboard meant for advanced riders? How can you determine the right wakeboard for you?

Wakeboard Length

As a beginner, you need a wakeboard that is long enough to float you sufficiently. A board with more length has more surface area, and more surface area provides stability and buoyancy.

A wakeboard too big for a rider isn’t necessarily the best way to go, though. In fact, an oversized board can hinder a rider’s ability to progress their skills. If a board is too big for a rider to properly pop off the wake, maneuver, or spin, then that extra surface area is not doing the rider any favors.

Wakeboard Profile

The shape of a wakeboard affects how a wakeboard functions. Wakeboard shapes come in two categories – a continuous rocker and a 3-stage rocker.

A continuous rocker refers to a wakeboard in the shape of one continuous, uninterrupted curve from tip to tail. A 3-stage rocker wakeboard has three separate planes to it. The board is flat across the bottom with two distinct bends on either end where the tip and tail shoot upward.

Wakeboard Fins

Wakeboard fins provide direction. Certain kinds of fins are designed for certain sizes and styles of boards. Fins can be thick or thin, deep or shallow, molded-in or removable. In general, deeper fins provide more support, which gives beginner riders more ability to control the board.

If you plan to wakeboard at a cable park with rails, your wakeboard should not have fins. Rather, wakeboards with fins are the best wakeboards for women that plan to ride behind a boat.

Wakeboard Bindings

Just as the name suggests, a binding system binds a rider to a board. Wakeboard boots keep a rider connected to the wakeboard. Similar to how shoes need to be the correct fit for an individual, wakeboard boots need to match the size of a rider’s foot.

But when trying to find wakeboard boots, size is just one component you need to consider. Boots are also made with certain features and flex levels that change how the boots perform.
