Wetsuits & Vests – What Makes a Great Wakeboard & Wakesurf Setup?

Whether you’re wakeboarding or wakesurfing, your gear setup is more than just your board. A well-fitting impact vest and a quality wetsuit provide safety, comfort, and confidence – and can make or break your session.

In this blog, we break down what to look for in vests and wetsuits, and how to get ready for the season with the perfect gear.

Impact Vests – Protection & Freedom of Movement

Whether behind the boat or at the cable park, an impact vest keeps you safe in falls and lets you move freely while riding.

🔹 Key things to look for:

• Snug fit to avoid slipping or shifting
• Stretch panels for full mobility
• Level of flotation – minimal for cable, more for boat
• Lightweight & quick-drying materials

💡 Fit tip: Finding the perfect size online isn’t always easy.

👉 If you can, visit our store in Zürich to try on different models – or book a fitting at our warehouse shop in Romanshorn.

📦 Shopping online only? We highly recommend ordering one size up, as vests are designed to fit very tight.

🧊 Wetsuits – Protection from Cold & Cuts

From chilly spring mornings to windy fall rides – a good wetsuit keeps you warm and protected from cuts, sunburn, and the elements.

🔹 What works best for wakeboarding & wakesurfing:

• 3/2 mm wetsuits are the perfect all-round thickness for spring, summer & fall
• High flexibility in shoulders and arms for paddling and start positions
• Glued & stitched seams for durability and insulation
• Front or chest zips offer better freedom of movement
