Connelly wakeboard packages — board plus matched bindings, bundled at a better combined price than buying separately. Beginner and intermediate. Mens, womens and kids.
Why a package. A wakeboard package bundles a board with matched bindings (boots) at a better combined price than buying the two separately. Connelly’s package range is built around their core wakeboard shapes paired with their Optima and Empire boots, in beginner and intermediate cuts. What’s currently in the range. Connelly Surge with Optima Boots — kids beginner package. Easier-to-ride shape, forgiving on edge, good progression board. Connelly Lotus with Optima Boots — womens beginner package. Wide stable platform for first-timer womens riders. Connelly Pure with Optima Boots — mens beginner package. Wider, more forgiving board for new riders. Connelly Big Easy with Optima Boots — mens intermediate package. The Big Easy is a well-known oversized cruiser — easy starts, big landings, lots of float. Good for heavier riders or those moving past pure-beginner gear. Connelly Reverb with Empire Boots — mens intermediate package. Stiffer rocker, more pop off the wake, sharper edge response. The performance step up. Boot variants. The Optima is Connelly’s beginner-to-intermediate boot — forgiving, soft flex, easy entry. The Empire is firmer with more lateral support — better for riders pushing edge and pop. Both are open-toe in the package configurations. Skill range. This collection covers Beginner and Intermediate only. No advanced Connelly packages currently in stock. Advanced riders typically buy board and boots separately for finer matching. Boat boards only. All Connelly packages in this collection are boat boards — not built for cable park obstacles. Hitting a rail or kicker with a boat board causes impact damage that isn’t covered under warranty. Sizing. Boards match rider weight (chart on each product page). Boots come in standard size ranges (S/M/L/XL for Optima open-toe). Call us if you want a sizing sanity check. Try Before You Buy. Selected Connelly boards are in our demo fleet. Hire fees vary by product.
The Optima is Connelly’s beginner-to-intermediate boot — softer flex, more forgiving, easier to get in and out of. It’s the boot you want when you’re still nailing the basics. The Empire is firmer with more lateral support, designed for riders pushing harder edge and going for bigger pop off the wake — less forgiving but more responsive. The Reverb package gets the Empire; the Surge, Lotus, Pure and Big Easy packages get the Optima.
Yes — hence the name. The Big Easy is an oversized board, which means it floats higher, gets out of the water easier on the start, and gives you a more stable platform once you’re up. Easier on heavier riders. Easier on riders returning to the sport. Easier on big-air landings. The trade-off is that it’s less agile than a smaller, sharper board — so once you’re wanting more responsive edge work, you’ll move on. As a low-pressure intermediate cruiser, it’s a customer favourite.
No. All the Connelly packages in this collection are boat boards, built for the wake behind a tow boat. Cable park obstacles — rails, kickers, sliders — require cable-specific board construction (more durable base, more flexible core). A boat board on cable park obstacles will pick up impact damage that isn’t covered under warranty. If you’re at cable parks, look at cable-specific packages (the Ronix Diplomat is a good cable beginner option).
Advanced riders almost always buy board and boots separately so they can match exactly the boot stiffness, stance and angle they want for their riding style. Pre-built packages prioritise easy matching over rider-specific tuning. That works perfectly for beginners and intermediates; less so for advanced. If you’re looking at advanced Connelly gear, browse Connelly’s wakeboard and boot collections separately and we’ll help you match.
