12 best kids wakeboards

Alright, diving into the world of kids' wakeboards! These specialized wakeboards are designed with the younger rider in mind, considering their size, weight, and skill level. They typically come in smaller sizes to accommodate children and are crafted to be more forgiving for beginners.

Look for features like a wider board for stability, softer flex for easier maneuverability, and a continuous rocker shape that provides a smooth and predictable ride. Many kids' wakeboards also come with adjustable bindings to accommodate growing feet.

It's crucial to ensure that the wakeboard is the right size for the child's weight and skill level. Safety is paramount, so always make sure they are wearing appropriate gear, including a well-fitted life jacket.

For those eager to hit the water with their little wakeboarder, finding the right gear and ensuring proper safety measures will make the experience enjoyable and memorable.

Hyperlite State Jr. Kids Wakeboard 125 W/Remix Bindings Black/Teal Sz 4-8

Hyperlite

Product description

Creating a shape to take riders’ skills to the next level was the goal behind the new State Jr. Learning from other asymmetrical designs, we found that creating a shorter but more effective edge on a rider’s toe-side made 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 smoother toe-side transition is then held by the State Jr.’s thinner profile molded-in fin, 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 reduced surface area.

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES: Biolite 3 core - Asymmetrical Design - Molded-in Fins - Abrupt Continuous Rocker - Molded-In Toe Side Footbed Risers - Monocoque Construction - Layered Glass - M6 Inserts

EASY-ON FIT

Easy on fit to get you in the water and riding quickly

LOW PRO PLATE SYSTEM

The Low Pro Plate system takes much of what we learned from the System binding and incorporates it into a more traditional design. We began by reducing the overall volume by nearly 16%, which translates into a much lighter boot. Our drop-through footbed keeps a rider closer to the deck for maximum control and response. To ensure the baseless design did not produce unwanted plate twist we connected the sidewalls to the chassis, creating a stronger foundation.
