Durable grind base and sturdy rails can handle ride after ride on all park obstacles. Although this board shows its power under the feet of an experienced rider, it’s still a top pick for beginners hoping to progress in the park.

Slingshot has taken up the torch when it comes to directional boards, and its latest model, the Space Raider, caters to progressive and experimental riders. Directional boards are asymmetrical, built with a distinct nose and tail, whereas most wakeboards have an identical nose and tail. This board has an aggressive scoop nose and skate-style tail rocker, making it ride similarly to a skateboard. It’s highly flexible with a laminated wood core, plus carbon inserts add durability. It has the potential for multiple stance options–in the unlikely chance you get bored with your current setup, a radical stance change is a quick change away.
