Wakeboard Boat Review

One of the roomiest wakeboarding boats available today, the new Supreme V226 utilizes intelligent design and the market’s deepest-V hull for an incredibly comfortable 15-person seating arrangement that feels more like a 24-foot wake boat. But Supreme Boats didn’t just set out to make a spacious wakeboard boat. You’ll also find sparkling billet, 1,100 pounds of ballast, booming speakers and swivel board racks — all standard. If you’re looking for a spacious, family-friendly 22-foot wakeboarding boat with plenty of style, you need to demo the Supreme V226.

The Wakes

With the deepest-V in the industry today, the Supreme V226’s wake is rampy with plenty of pop. The sweet spot has nice landing zones and a good span. Load up one side or the other for one of the greatest wakesurf wakes out there.

Don’t Miss

SURF SERIES PACKAGE With the Surf platform and the Switchblade wake-enhancement system, this is one of the best wakesurf boats around. Combine the factory ballast with the Surf Series package and you’ve got one heck of a swell.
