BEST BOAT BOARD FOR MEN
The Ronix Vault is a great entry-level board through to intermediate. With its thinner, sharper toeside rail cutting toeside has never been so easy.
New for 2024, Ronix placed the Vault on a diet and took almost 20% of the weight out. Now a rider has more feedback with the water, less swing weight in the air and easier transitioned turns. For over 20 years Ronix has been designing boards that recognise your shoulders and hips are not always parallel in wakeboarding. Instead, your body is crossed up riding toe side, and more inline riding heel side. As one of the best wakeboards 2022, every aspect of the Vault takes this into consideration for the proper foundation for your riding.
FEATURES:
- Thinner, Sharper Toe side Rail
- Fuller, Vertical Heel side Rail
- 2 Fibreglass 1.7” Hook Fins
- 4 Molded-in Fins
- Designed for the Building Block to Wakeboarding

BEST CABLE BOARD FOR MEN:
2022 Slingshot Coalition Wakeboard
The Coalition is the gold standard of cable wakeboarding. It's got a magical combination of outline, tip shape and rocker that delivers endless amounts of entertainment in the park—no matter your riding style. In addition, the Coalition was the first board in the industry to feature chined rails, which allow the board to slide across bumpier surfaces with ease, and also equates to a looser, more playful feel on the water—perfect for mastering the art of the "butter". Over the seasons, the board has evolved into larger offerings, ranging from 141 to 161. It also features five stance settings, allowing riders to make their stance extra skinny for that new-age look and feel, featuring custom art by Wesley Mark Jacobsen of the Space Mob.
FEATURES:
- The Coalition flows through the water like a knife through hot butter.
- Its flex pattern is the perfect blend of flex and rebound, and the outline and rocker profile make it a blast to ride on water, rails, grass, and more.
- Riding the Coalition also grants you immediate access to the Space Mob community of intergalactic shredders.

BEST HYBRID/CROSSOVER BOARD FOR MEN:
2022 Slingshot Nomad Wakeboard
The Nomad delivers a whole new feel on the water. It will have you thinking about riding in an entirely new light and enjoying the simpler things that may have become monotonous in the past. So kick back, relax and enjoy the ride!
The Nomad is the board that inspired a revolution in wakeboarding over the past decade. Bigger boards are undoubtedly here to stay, and the Nomad is the GODFATHER of this movement. Released in 2015, it was the first board to cross the line of 150 centimetres, offered all the way up to 160cm—the benefit? Bigger pop, more stability, slower planing speeds and more controlled landings. Indeed, one of the best wakeboards of 2022. Slingshot could produce a board of this size without a dramatic increase in swing weight thanks to their thinner wood-core constructions. So whether you prefer to ride behind the boat or in the park, the Nomad is a whole new feel—an excellent choice to reinvigorate riders who claim to have "been there and done that".
- The Nomad delivers a whole new feel on the water.
- It will have you thinking about riding in an entirely new light and enjoying the simpler things that may have become monotonous in the past. Kick back, relax and enjoy the ride!

BEST BOAT BOARD FOR WOMEN:
The Eden. The asymmetrical design and women's specific flex make Eden 2.0 the perfect choice to advance your skills.
Creating a women's shape to take their skills to the next level was the goal behind the new Eden 2.0. Learning from other asymmetrical designs, Hyperlite found that creating a shorter but more effective edge on a rider's toe-side made it hard to learn wake jumps that much easier. This is because there is less rail to initiate when applying toe-side pressure. Once set, the Eden 2.0's thinner profile moulded-in fin is held by the smoother toe-side transition, creating less drag and a better release off the top of the wake. Subtle toe-side footbed risers were also added to help a rider create more leverage when pressure is applied. The longer, more traditional heel-side edge compliments this asymmetrical design by allowing the natural body position of a rider to generate stability and speed into the wake without a loss of pop due to the reduced surface area. The Eden 2.0 has been tested and proven to be the best choice for a rider looking to master the fundamentals of wakeboarding.
- Biolite 3 core
- Abrupt Continuous Rocker
- Satin Flex
- Asymmetrical Design
- Moulded In Fins
- Moulded-In Toe Side Footbed Risers
- Monocoque Construction
- Layered Glass
- Shaper: Aaron Stumpf

BEST PARK BOARD FOR WOMEN:
2022 Slingshot Copycat Pro Wakeboard
With an endorsement from the hottest new crew in women's cable wakeboarding, the Copycat Pro is built to be the ultimate park board for hardcore cable riders.

This board is fast and free on the water, with a medium-soft flex pattern intended to deliver "all the feels" at all the right times. Standout features include a narrower stance and chined rails to get you "over the humps" and bumps of all kinds of terrain. The Copycats club is one of a kind, and Slingshot said they were honoured to build the board that enables this crew to keep pushing the limits of cable wakeboarding.

BEST HYBRID/CROSSOVER BOARD FOR WOMEN:
2022 Slingshot Contrast Wakeboard
The tapered Flex Tips and a more rigid belly give the Contrast the perfect blend of cable and boat performance—it has all the pop and ollie power you need for behind the boat while the Flex Tips deliver unmatched press-ability in the park. It's a fast-carving, freeride board that will cover all the bases—from first-timers all the way to Carro Djupsjo status! The Contrast is a fast, easy-riding board built for all riding environments ... for the girl who can't be bothered by a couple of butterflies and a pinch of glitter.
- You'll love the Contrast because it offers the perfect balance of traction and pop for boat riding and then immediately transforms into a rail-riding machine by simply removing the fins.

BEST CABLE BOARD FOR GROMS:
2022 Slingshot Super Grom Wakeboard
Slingshot doesn't believe in cutting corners for groms— they saw the trend in wake is skewing younger and younger, so they poured a ton of design energy and effort into the Super Grom: one of the highest performance boards for young people riders ever made. For the groms, this would be one of the best wakeboards 2022. The Super Grom is built with lively Atomic Wood Core and a softer flex that lightweight riders can manipulate so that the groms can ride with the same style and agility (if not more) than their elder mentors.
- The Super Grom is extremely durable, built to keep up with that endless supply of energy oozing out of the frothy young rippers.
- The soft flex allows them to ride like a pro regardless of their age or size.
