If I were in the market to buy a new cable wakeboard for this upcoming summer, it would have to be one of these boards. In this video, I break down my top cable board choices for the 2024 summer based on their features and designs. This guide might be helpful if you are in a similar situation and looking to purchase a new board yourself. Comment below, if there are any other boards that you are stoked on, or if you plan on picking one of these up!

**Note, upon further research the Ronix Utopia does have chined (lifted) rails, making it in line feature wise with the HL Guara, SS Johnny Rocket and the Obrien DZ

I'm currently in between the 146 Liquid Force Peak 2024 and the 147 Ronix Utopia 2024. The Utopia is slightly more narrow, meaning even though it's 1cm longer, it has less surface area. Basically, buoyancy + stability on landings vs manoeuvrability + weight.

Yeah I know a few of these board run a little more narrow. Johnny Rocket does for sure. Which do you prefer of the 2? I’d like to demo the Utopia and Guara in particular.

I have the 165 rover, Its a really fun step away from normal cable riding. Its way more surfy, and really isnt that difficult to get on rail. Use it a lot for winch sessions. Nice list by the way!

Tyler Pool is riding the OBrien DZ for cable, you should ask him his thoughts on it.

Yeah I chatted with him a little about it last summer. Seems he likes his. Was looking good on it.

I bought a pleasure this year. im 6 foot 2 so i bought the 155 and even at my height it feels massive. It is a lot more difficult to ollie than my 149 blacklists, idk if its the size and weight of the board or the rocker. it is super fast on the water and despite having channels it is super loose. Only thing I don't like about it is the pop off the water, i can barely get around an ollie front 3. I might be spoiled though because my blacklist could POP.

Interesting notes on the boards. I think I've read the Pleasure is more narrow than other boards, Blacklist included. I'd also say the amount of rocker has a ton to do with it too. Sounds to me it might have less rocker if super fast nut not popping a ton when loaded. Are you going to sell it and get something else? I'm still keen to demo the Guara from the HL setup but haven't been able to yet.

@@LifetimeShred I plan on sticking with my pleasure for this season. Luckily I got long legs so I can make up the lack of pop. My black list was definitely skinnier than my pleasure. Pleasure feels like a regular width for its size and shape of board. Tbf I’m used to skinny boards because I don’t ride wide boards from brands like slingshot. Best part about my board is it’s graphic, the top of the board is completely murdered out with a gloss finish and a couple blue lines. It also has female torso in the middle it which i didn’t notice until I got it in the mail 😂.

@@grantjones4544 Interesting. If I get a chance to try the Pleasure I will for sure. I wish there were more demo opportunities to try these things out before you buy. The cable I go to most (Imondi Wake Zone) has a few demoes in shop but no Hyperlite. I know the Johnny Rocket and the Solo are both skinner from Slngshot but everything else is wider. And yeah the Pleasure graphics are good for sure.

Track the HL Pleasure, and not the Guara. Guara has a 3stage rocker

@LifetimeShred 3 ай бұрын

I'll check it out. I saw HL calls the Guara an "abrupt" continuous but maybe that just means 3 stage then.

Liquid Force Illusion ?

@@chocorider Yeah if I went LF I think that would be the one. Weary of the insert sliders as I've seen them tear out, but otherwise the board has the right features.
