Wakeboarding bikinis for deep-water starts and big stacks
Deep-water starts, spray in your face and falls at speed test swimwear more than almost anything. Here's what we'd wear behind the boat, so the only thing you lose is your balance.
What the boat does to a bikini
A deep-water start drags water against you as the boat pulls you up, and a fall at speed hits harder than most waves. Wakeboarding and waterskiing bikinis need to fit snugly, with nothing that can loosen or slide.
The top
Skip anything that relies on a single tie. Neck-tie triangles love to loosen when you hit the water at speed. The Racer has crossback straps and medium support, and a rash vest over the top adds cover for the big stacks.
The bottom
Swim shorts are the most reliable pick behind the boat. Save the cheekier cuts for calmer days on the water.
Under the life jacket
Your swimwear lives under a life jacket or impact vest all day, so a smooth top without bulky knots is much comfier.
