“Let’s make it short and sweet: the Wave Sport EZ is. Wakeboards, trick skis, snowboards, skateboards and just about any other trick performance toy designed to be maneuverable and fun are short. Shorter is better when you want a boat that reacts as fast as you think. The EZ’s volume is concentrated around your body, keeping you floating high and your tips out of the water, where they can’t catch, making river running easier. Boofing, turning and eddy hopping will never be the same. Paddle to a shallow pourover and cartwheel until you’ve had enough without beating your boat and body on the rocks. Clean cartwheels on the bow and stern in flatwater, counter clockwheels, aerial moves, and every other trick in the book can all be yours. When you’re ready to take your local play spot for all it’s worth, the EZ will be there for the taking.
