Performance Overview
Slalom Skiing
The ProStar wake is soft, flat, and narrow, even at 22’ and 28’ off — perfect for competitive-level slalom.
The center flattener system eliminates stern rise and allows the boat to sit level under throttle.
Industry-leading tracking and minimal spray make this boat ideal for record attempts or recreational sets.
(Not Designed for Surf or Wakeboard Use)
This is a specialized ski boat, not suitable for wakesurfing or modern wakeboarding.
Wakeboarding can be done recreationally, but not competitively due to wake shape and boat design.
