What else can be said about Nautique’s Super Air G23 that hasn’t been said already? This boat is a legend, and for good reason. If you have ever ridden behind a G23, you know that it lives up to all the hype. When pushed to its full potential, the wake is known for its straight-up boosting pop. Thanks to the NCRS, the wake can be adjusted for the pro looking to lock in double flips or the weekend warrior who wants to land their first wake-to-wake jump. The G23 turned heads when it was first introduced because of its high gunwales and deep draft. The boat looked different than any other wakeboat before it, and it was designed to displace a lot of water. That displacement is what makes the…

P: billdoster.com If you’re in the market for a boat that delivers the highest quality in terms of wakes, waves, features and comfort, the M235 is a great place to start. Malibu designed the M235 from the ground up to be a premier wakeboat, and it doesn’t disappoint in any facet. The design forces the boat to sit deep in the water, which is a big component of its world-class wakes. Add in the internal ballast, which can be upgraded to 5,000 pounds, and the technology of the Power Wedge II and Surf Gate, and you have a machine that puts out some of the biggest wakes and waves with a great shape, especially for intermediate- to pro-level riders. The shape of the wake is on the steeper side of…

P: billdoster.com The Ri237 was built with surfing in mind, which is why it’s the tow boat of the Centurion World Wakesurfing Championship, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wakeboard behind it. Thanks to the 5,100 pounds of stock ballast with the unique Ramfill system, combined with trim tabs and Centurion’s signature CATS system, the wake can be fine-tuned for both boarding and surfing. The wake has a smooth shape that makes for easy takeoffs and comfortable landings. When it comes to features in a boat, the Centurion Ri237 is the Swiss Army knife of the industry. Whether it’s the Ri237’s various seat configurations, crazy storage capability, dual touchscreens, or Down Fire audio system that allows you to choose where the music goes, this boat is loaded with anything you…

As the official tow boat of the Pro Wakeboard Tour and Pro Wakesurf Tour, you know the Supra SA packs a punch. That’s not just marketing lingo either; watch the runs the top pros put together at the PWT events, and you'll see just how capable the SA is in both facets. The wake features a long, rampy transition with just the right amount of kick at the top. This helps explain why so many double flips have gone down at PWT stops. Not only that, but the wake is really consistent, which means you can focus more on your riding and landing tricks instead of worrying about the wake washing out. Don’t think the SA is only for pros though. Dump the weight and adjust the Supra Smart Plate…

Radar Lake. The name itself implies a lot of things in wakeboarding lore. What it implies most though might be envy, because anybody who knows anything about epic places to ride has dreamed about riding at Radar Lake. Nestled atop a hill overlooking the Carnation Valley region of Washington state, Radar Lake was one of the first private, man-made ski lakes in the world. The land was originally bought and developed by Herb O’Brien in 1972, and since then, the legend (and envy) has only grown exponentially. Because Radar Lake is most often described as indescribable, we figured it would be best to hear about it from the lucky guys who have been able to visit it over the years. Oh, and if you’d like to ride there one day,…

WHEN YOU GET ON YOUR BOARD AND LAND SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME,THE FEELING IS INDESCRIBABLE. THAT FEELING IS WHAT MOTIVATES US,YOUNG AND OLD,ROOKIE AND VETERAN. The tie that binds all wakeboarders together is the joy of being on the water and the rush of doing something new. Whether it’s your first wake jump, first invert or a backside 7, when you get on your board and land something for the first time, the feeling is indescribable. That feeling is what motivates us, young and old, rookie and veteran. Even a legendary pro like Shaun Murray is motivated by it, and it continues to push him to do new things on his board. It is that motivation, and that love for continuing to see what’s possible, that had Murray in…

P: billdoster.com If you’re looking to get the highestquality wave or wake for a fraction of the cost of other boats, the Axis A24 might just be the boat for you. This is a price-point, utility vehicle of a boat that gives up certain features that some riders may consider over the top, but it refuses to make any sacrifices to quality behind the boat. There is a reason this has been one of Axis’ longest-running boats, and that reason is because it consistently performs for wakeboarding, wakesurfing and, most importantly, having fun on the water. As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This is the largest boat in the Axis line, which gives it a mellow yet rampy wake that can be adjusted for any…

P: billdoster.com The Tigé RZX3 was a new release for 2016, and after being on the market for a year, it has only gotten better. For 2017 Tigé created its TAPS 3 system that allows the wake and wave to be customized with only the touch of a button. Any adjustments to the boat can be made on the Tigé Clear touchscreen, which has more surface area than any other touchscreen in the industry. If that wasn’t enough, the Clear touchscreen also has the capability for customizable menus, so features most important to you are never more than a click away. To round it all off, the elegant interior of the RZX3 will make you feel like you are driving a high-end luxury car on the lake. Wakeboarding behind this…

P: billdoster.com The Supreme S226 is a versatile boat that can cater to beginner wakeboarders and wakesurfers up to advanced. The unweighted S226 wake is mellow and small enough for any beginner to feel comfortable on, but in only a matter of minutes, the QuickFill system allows you to add 1,000 pounds of ballast. There is also a plug-and-play option that adds 1,000 more pounds of ballast, which our test boat was equipped with. Add in the Stinger wake plate that can change the shape of the wake, and the S226 wake will grow substantially. Overall, the wake is clean and comfortable — a great wake for progressing your riding. Coming from Supreme, it should be a given that the S226 puts out a solid surf wave. The most notable…

Cory Teunissen wears his headphones more than most riders at the Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour. There aren’t any concrete statistics or measurements to back this statement up, but after following Cory around for a couple of days at the f irst stop in Birmingham, Alabama, I’m fairly confident in its accuracy. He also stays extremely hydrated. And as random as those two points might be to open a story about Cory competing on the PWT, they are perfect glimpses into what makes Cory tick as a competitive wakeboarder. Just because Cory wears headphones a lot doesn’t mean he isolates himself from the scene by zoning out to some tunes every second he isn’t on the water. On the contrary, Cory is one of the busier guys at any given…
