Your boat's wave matters too. A bigger, ballasted wake supports larger surf boards and lets you ride deeper in the pocket, while a smaller wave pairs better with a more buoyant board that planes easily. On Lake Lanier's glassy mornings, a well-shaped wave plus the right board is a recipe for endless rides.
Not sure whether to go surf or skim, big or small? Let us help. At Pull Pro Shop we carry wakesurf boards in both styles and every size, along with fins, ropes, and vests. Tell us your weight, your wave, and your goals, and we will match you with the perfect board for endless rides on Lake Lanier.

Beginners should prioritize a longer, wider board with a continuous rocker and larger fins, forgiving, stable, and confidence-building. Intermediate riders can move toward hybrid rockers and slightly narrower shapes. Advanced riders chasing height and tricks often choose a 3-stage rocker with smaller fins. Buy for the rider you are now, with a little room to grow.
Still not sure which wakeboard is right for you? That is what we are here for.
