Less weight is definitely a luxury. Lighter wakeboards are easier to move around and may have better flex patters, which affects your pop and landings. Weight is a variable that is closely related to length and can be used the same way. You can move back and forth between a lighter and a heavier wakeboard to help you progress or to suit your style. Most of the lighter wakeboards are made with a wood core, lighter density foam or honeycomb construction. Wood is one of the trends nowadays. It is said to flex better, giving you a snappier feel off the wake. On landings you get more flex on impact, so it should feel softer as well. The drawback is durability. If you are into grinding rails, wakeboards with wood cores don’t hold up quite as well as a normal high-density foam core. But if rails aren’t your game and you spend all your time on the wake, try one out! It will probably spoil you.
