Rocker?

Continuous Rocker

Continuous rocker is a smooth curve that does not change from tip to tail. Continuous rockers provide fast, smooth rides and allow you to hook up turns more easily. You can generate a lot of speed on a continuous rocker because the water flows without disruption across the bottom of the deck. Another benefit of a board with continuous rocker is a very predictable pop that will carry you farther out into the flats. The pop offered by continuous rockers can be characterized as more “horizontal” than “vertical”. Continuous rocker boards are great for carving, especially on those glassy summer mornings.

3-Stage Rocker

A board with a 3-stage rocker features two distinct bend points and three distinct planes on the bottom of the board. A 3-stage rocker causes your board to respond with more bucking/explosive/vertical pop. 3-Stage rocker decks push more water in front of the board, which makes them a little slower and gives them a slight sluggish feeling after landing. Addtionally, 3-stage rocker boards have a looser feel on the water to where your fins become less effective and riders must rely more on their edges. Boards with 3-stage rockers have a flat spot in the center that can make the impact of landings a little more intense.

Hybrid Rocker (a combination of continuous and 3-stage):

Living somewhere between a continuous rocker and 3-stage rocker, the hybrid rocker boards include Blended 3-Stage, Continuous Hybrid, Progressive, Subtle 3-Stage.

Grip?

Griptape vs. Foam:

The top surface of the Wakeskate is either covered with griptape or a soft, high-traction, EVA pad. Griptape provides more traction and more of a true skateboard feel. EVA won’t tear you up if you fall on your Wakeskate.

Shape?

Flat Decks

Traditionally regarded as a more entry-level design, flat decks offer a true skate feel.

Concave Decks

Just like your favorite skateboard, concave allows for better board control and more leverage for initiating flip and varial tricks. Concave also allows for better foot control and more pop on your Ollies.

Bi-Level Decks

Bi-level wakeskates consist of two parts, a flat bottom deck and a separate concave top deck that is shaped more like a skateboard. Usually, the only contact points between the top and bottom decks are the attachment points that hold the whole skate together. The attachments points are placed where the tip and tail start their upward curve from the straighter middle section of the top deck. Bi-level decks allow for higher Ollies cause the wakeskate to stay with your feet in a way that much more closely models the feel of real skateboarding.

Material?

Wakeskates are often constructed out of wood. This wood is glassed over with a marine-grade epoxy that gives the wakeskate a lively feel and prevents waterlogging. Wood wakeskates are less durable than their composite counterparts. Manufacturers usually offer only limited warranties on wood wakeskates. Often times they do not offer any sort of warranty on wood wakeskates at all.

Composite wakeskates provide a more transitional wakeboard feel. Composite wakeskates last longer than wood wakeskates.
