In case you have been living under a rock, wakesurfing has planted itself firmly in the world of wake-tivities. In the last few years there has been an explosion of participants clamoring to catch that eternal ride. There were only a select few brands early on that were catering towards the wakesurf community, but now our 2013 Boat Buyers Guide shows that nearly every company either has wakesurf specific enhancement devices and/or a hull shape in their line that gives the surfers what they are looking for. Check out our favorites.

Wakeboard Boat Review

Epic is celebrating a decade of building wake boats this year, and it created this special-edition 10th Anniversary 23v to commemorate the occasion. LEDs blanket the special-edition graphic on both sides of the boat in a red glow. They also ring Epic’s one-of-a-kind transom audio system and light up the interior too, which looks amazing during sunrise and sunset sessions. Underneath all that illumination is Epic’s premier wake boat. The Epic 23v is a ride-first wake machine designed with riders in mind. Its 3,600-pound ballast system is the biggest in all of wakeboarding, and it helps carve out massive wakes with tons of straight-up pop.

The Epic 10th Anniversary 23v is the best boat for you if: You want to ride above all else but also like to have a boat that looks good and makes a statement when you’re on the water.

Wakeboard Boat Review

From the fuss-free interior to wakeboarding’s biggest ballast system, Epic’s flagship 23v is a utilitarian wake machine designed at every step with riders in mind. It comes standard with a massive, 3,600-pound hard-tank setup, which creates a wall of water with tons of straight-up pop to ride behind. Then there’s Epic’s one-of-a-kind transom audio system, which gives the rider crystal-clear sound while behind the boat, and the high-density foam floor that makes cleanup super simple. The 23v also comes with the standard tower with swivel board racks and a standard GPS-based cruise control. It comes out of the gate with all the necessities you need to have a lot of fun without adding any options.

The Epic 23v is the best boat for you if: You’re looking for a boat with tons of ballast, great wakes and the style and functionality you get out of an Epic.

You cannot be missed in Epic Boats‘ 10th Anniversary Edition Epic 23v. Celebrating 10 years of wake innovation, Epic made its statement with this special-edition wake machine. Not to be ignored, the light-up sidewall graphic is the first of its kind, showcasing the hull’s resin-infused core. Combine that with Epic’s own rear-facing transom audio that is part of a 15-speaker Wet Sounds Audio system and you have an instant party craft.

The 10th Anniversary Edition 23v isn’t only about the show; it has a rider-tested and approved performance package among all that flair. Thanks to a 375-horsepower 8.7-liter MerCruiser under the hood and an industry-leading 3,600 pounds of internal ballast, this boat has a “splash and dash” characteristic, where time saved not filling individual fat sacks can be spent hammering out those new tricks before the sun sets. The ultra-responsive dual rudder vector system will keep your pull straight, while the GPS Smart Tow System gets you dialed into your speed within .2 mph.

Winding down an afternoon of boosting massive airs, it’s time to boost the tunes, crack a cold one and get your surf on. The adjustable surf trim tabs are at your disposal to create a perfect surf wake and cap off a sure-to-be-epic evening on the water (pun intended). Just make sure to turn on your lighted graphics so everyone knows who is throwing buckets.
