Ex Demo Wakeboards
A selection of cable and boat boards that have had limited controlled use during a handful of demo days at wake venues in the UK. Some of the boards have been used on features so there is evidence of that on the bases.
The condition of the boards have been categorised as Low Use, Moderate Use and Heavy Use and have been discounted accordingly.
Some have been used as a display board and simply removed from their packaging.
Take a look through and grab yourself a bargain.

Rather than a boat to pull you along, cable wakeboarding has an overhead cable system. This can take the form of a ‘Full Cable’ which is a continuous system that allows multiple riders to ride simultaneously, or a ‘2 Tower’ single rider system that works backwards and forwards across a body of water.
To replace a wake, cable parks install a range of obstacles like kickers and rails for performing tricks.
cable wakeboards
With more cable parks appearing across the world, the range of cable boards on offer grows and grows. When looking for the right cablewakeboard, the riding style of the wakeboarder can help decide which board is the right one. Are you a rail rider looking for a softer flexier board? Do you send it big off the kickers and air tricks? Or are you a rider that can do it all?
Each cable specific board will have its own flex pattern, a super durable base that will feature channels (or no channels) instead of fins and forgiving rails. Most cable boards offer a natural flex due to the durable wood core.
Cable Wakeboard Flexibility – With each cable wakeboard created comes an individual flex pattern to suit your riding style…
Tip / Tail
These riders want a traditional mid-section and extra pliable ends for more of a locked in feel on tip/tail presses and extra snap rebounding out of the press. It allows a rider to exaggerate their press with the softest flex in the tip/tail – but as the press increase the centre of the board prevents it from folding over. Loved by your rail rider.
Centre
These boards have a super soft middle section but the rigid tip/tail that give more snap off a feature and on air tricks. This allows a rider to exaggerate their press with the flexy centre – but as the press builds then the traditional tip/tail prevents the board from folding over. For the rider that wants the biggest sweet spot with the most contact on rails. Big hits off the kickers and sending your air tricks.
All Over
A consistent board where the whole board flexes – creating the most surface area on a rail. A constant flex pattern running the entire surface area of the board might not snap back like the other flex patterns but it will perform in all areas of the park. A no nonsense do it all board style that does what it says on the ‘tin’.
size guide
Most boards come in multiple sizes so what is the right size board for you? Unlike most board sports, initially your weight determines the size of board you need, because your weight on the board determines how deep you sit in the water.
A longer board is more forgiving, creates less drag and gives more pop off the wake. A shorter board sits deeper in the water, is more aggressive and potentially less forgiving. However, being shorter means, it has less swing weight and is easier to spin.
- Easier to spin + manoeuvre in the air.
- Lighter
- Works with a skinny stance
- Quicker more aggressive edge
- Harder on landings / easier to catch an edge
- Less surface area = more drag and harder work
for your arms
- Easier to ride with a larger surface area sitting higher on
the water
- Heavier which can offer added control
- Larger surface area for landings means better for your knees
- Cable boards being created in a sized-up style (longer and
lighter)
- Too big and its harder to control / spin
- Have to go further to get on the nose / tail for presses
