Dear wakeboarding enthusiasts and thrill-seekers,
Unleashed Wakeboard Magazine proudly presents its new special issue: the Buyer Guide 2026, fully dedicated to wakeboarding gear for the upcoming season.
More than a simple product overview, this guide is designed as a true riding companion. Choosing the right equipment is not only about technology — it’s about creating the conditions to progress, gain confidence, and keep feeling that powerful joy we all experience the moment we hit the water.
Boards, boots, foils, wakeskates and wakesurfs… Inside these pages, we go beyond product specs to share the stories behind the gear: the ideas, ambitions and challenges that brands and riders turned into reality for 2026. Practical advice, editor’s picks and insights will help every rider — from beginners to seasoned pros — find the setup that truly fits their style.
This year’s edition also highlights two key figures from the French wakeboarding scene: Loïc Deschaux, 2025 World Champion, who continues to represent the sport with talent and humility, and Romain Llobet, deeply involved in the development of cable parks, the essential places where passions, friendships and unforgettable sessions are born.
Designed to support every rider’s journey, the Buyer Guide 2026 celebrates an authentic, passionate wakeboarding culture — where the right equipment disappears, becoming a natural extension of your body, your riding and your enjoyment.
From the entire Unleashed team, we wish you an amazing 2026 full of progression, great sessions and pure stoke.
Long live wakeboarding — and ride as much as possible in 2026.
