Connelly Lotus Wakeboard Review

Great for beginners

Wakeboard size: 130cm, 134cm      Weight Capacity:  up to 125lb (55kg), up to 160lbs (72kg)

Things we like:

  • ideal wakeboard to learn fundamentals and progress on
  • long molded fins provide great traction
  • enhanced edge channels to improve stability

Things to consider:

  • design may not appeal to everyone

This fun, Connelly wakeboard has everything you want for a beginner rider.  It’s designed for towing behind a boat or jet ski and the subtle 3-stage rocker allows for extra lift off the wake even when travelling at slower speeds.  This wakeboard provides a stable ride, with good control and is an ideal board to help beginner riders gain confidence.  The removable center fins can be added for extra grip.

Stability and great tracking

Wakeboard size: 130cm, 134cm, 141cm      Weight Capacity:  less than 1301lb (59kg), less than 150lbs (68kg), more than 140lbs (63kg)

Things we like:

  • suitable for many riders from beginners to intermediate
  • great stability and tracking
  • removable center fins

Things to consider:

  • need to purchase boots separately

With the extra length, this is an ideal beginner board for taller or heavier riders.  Connelly have designed this board for the absolute beginner and the more intermediate rider, with a mellow 3-stage rocker that is easy to ride and has great pop off the wake.  With molded in fins and the removable center fins it provides great tracking for new riders and removing the center fin makes it a little more free-flowing for more intermediate riders.

Two size options

Wakeboard size: 139, 143cm      Weight Capacity:  less than 160lbs (70kg), more than 150lbs (68kg)

Things we like:

  • perfect for beginners
  • lightweight for easy maneuverability
  • great for softer landings

Things to consider:

  • designed for more experienced riders

An ideal board for learning to wakeboard on, great to have on board for first-timers, and those learning the ropes.  The continuous rocker is great for balance and softer landings, while the lightweight design of this board makes it easier to control which is ideal when you are learning.

Larger board size

Wakeboard size: 141cm      Weight Capacity:  200lbs+ (90kg)

Things we like:

  • deep center fins
  • package includes boots
  • great for progressing with new tricks

Things to consider:

  • 3-stage rocker can be a little less stable

With long molded fins and deep removable center fins, this board provides great tracking for a very stable ride.  The smooth edge rails provide great predictability and consistency when riding on edge as you approach the wake and the 3-stage rocker ensures you get that explosive pop off the wake every time.  Ideal when you are wanting to progress to the next level with jumping the wake or learning new tricks.
