Wakeboard Boat Review
The Axis Boats A22 is a budget-conscious wakeboard boat, that sacrifices little in the way of quality, flare and especially wake. Axis Boats distilled this wake machine down to core wakeboarding essentials that make it raw enough for Randall “The Vandall” Harris, while still being comfortable enough for a day on the water with the family. Everything on the Axis Boats A22 is made to stand up to hard-core riding. From available snap-out carpet to the Skybox Slide Seating for more rear-facing seating, this is truly a wakeboarder’s ride, and if you act quick, you can get the Dealer Limited Time offer base price of $40,995.
The Wakes
If they’re good enough for Randall Harris, one of wake’s hardest-charging rippers, you know they’re good. We personally had the privilege of watching The Vandall punish the Axis Boats A22’s wakes at close proximity, and we can tell you they’re legit. Look for pro-quality ramps when ballast and extra weight is added and approachable ramps for groms learning to ride like Harris.
Don’t Miss
Vandallism: Want a little extra? Want something that’s really going to turn heads? Then you need the Vandall Edition package on this wakeboard boat. With custom skeleton graphics, docking lights, under-seat lighting available in three colors, a Plug N’ Play Ballast upgrade, the Auto Set wedge and a host of other rider-centric features, your Axis Boats A22 can be a mirror image of Randall Harris’. Now all you have to do is get your riding up to his level. Good luck with that.
