Kid's Wakeboards

Kid’s Wakeboard FAQs

What age can you start wakeboarding?

While some kids start shredding as young as five, age isn’t the sole factor for wakeboarding. Pay attention to your child’s readiness, physical development, and desire to try. If your kid is ready to learn how to wakeboard, look for comfort in the water and basic swimming skills. Consider starting with a tube or kneeboard then move on to a wakeboard when they’re able to hold onto a rope and get up on the board.

How do you size a wakeboard for kids?

When shopping for a beginner wakeboard, the fit is key. Lighter shredders need smaller boards (around 120 cm or less) to plane on water. As their weight increases, look for a board in the 128 cm to 136 cm range. A better-fitting wakeboard inspires confidence in your little shredder. 

What speed should kids wakeboard?

Slow and steady is best for budding wakeboarders. Start as slow as 12 mph to help them get comfortable. Aim for 15 to 18 mph as your child gains confidence, letting the boat’s wake act as a ramp and not a jump to fight against.
