Funboards

ZUP trainers, discs and bundles

Funboards are the catch-all category for towables that aren’t a kneeboard, ski or wakeboard. They’re built for getting first-timers up and having fun, not for chasing tricks — the appeal is that everyone on the boat can have a go. The ZUP system. ZUP is the dominant brand here, and the boards work on a single idea: foot stirrups and a pair of handles let one rider lie down, kneel, or stand on the same board. A built-in tow hook handles the rope so the rider can focus on getting up. The huge surface area gives lift the moment the boat moves, which is why ZUPs work so well for kids and first-timers who’d struggle to get up on a slalom ski or wakeboard. What’s in the range. The ZUP Coast 80, You Got This 160 and You Got This 260 are the trainer boards in different sizes — the 260 takes the biggest riders. The Do More is the higher-performance version for confident riders who want to spin and slide. Bundles pair a board with a DoubleZup rope and handle to set you up in one go. The DoubleZup rope and handle. The DoubleZup is a pair of handles on a single rope — one for each of the rider’s hands. It’s a single-rider setup, not for two skiers. The pair of handles makes it easier to control the board across positions, particularly when transitioning from lying to kneeling to standing. Discs. The KD Gyro Disc is a different kind of fun — a spinning round towable that gives a wilder ride than the trainer boards. Less about teaching, more about laughs. Fitting a cover. The ZUP Board Bag is a funboard cover sized for the ZUP boards — it’s designed for funboards specifically and won’t fit a kneeboard. Safety. Gentle, progressive boat pull at low speeds, and never accelerate with the board tip submerged. Life vests are a legal requirement — our Life Vests collection covers everyone on board. Brands. ZUP for the full trainer-board range and rope-handle accessories, KD for the Gyro Disc.
