Overview

In the wake of a boat, the Smokewagon gives a larger rider volume and a wide winged swallow tail for push. Carbon construction with a Nova Core holds the weight down, and machined EVA traction grips the feet.

Minimal rocker makes it fast down the line, and the lightweight build makes it easy to spin. The Solo Skim Fin lets a rider hold a line or break it free for spins. Volume and rider weight guidance are absent.

Who it's for

A heavier rider who surfs wakes of many sizes and wants speed and spins from a skim board. Beginners, and riders who need rider weight guidance in the listing, should look at other boards.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Carbon and Nova Core build
  • Winged swallow tail adds push
  • Minimal rocker for speed
  • Machined EVA traction
Cons
  • Rider weight range missing
  • Volume figure missing
  • Skim style needs skill

Performance notes

Low rocker lets the board run fast and flat, while the swallow tail adds push in smaller wakes. The fin sets how the board holds a line and how easily it breaks loose. A lighter construction makes the board quick to turn.
