WAKESHOP VERDICT

Our take on this board.

The Wild Child is the Connelly women's board we'd choose when progression has moved beyond simply building confidence and the focus turns to riding harder. It delivers the edge control and pop needed to attack the wake with confidence, while retaining enough forgiveness to keep progression enjoyable. For intermediate riders looking to move into bigger wake-to-wake jumps, spins and more advanced tricks – or experienced riders wanting a capable women's-specific boat board – the Wild Child is an excellent choice.

✓

BEST FOR

Intermediate and advanced women, boat riding, wake-to-wake jumps, spins, inverts, progressive riding and riders wanting stronger performance without an excessively unforgiving feel

NOT IDEAL FOR

Complete beginners, cable parks, rails and sliders or riders primarily looking for maximum stability and the easiest possible learning experience

WHY WE STOCK IT

Why it earns a place at WakeShop.

We stock the Wild Child because women's wakeboards shouldn't stop at beginner and progression-focused designs. This is a genuine performance option for riders who want stronger edge control, more pop and the confidence to push into bigger tricks behind the boat. It complements the easier-going Lotus perfectly and gives progressing female riders somewhere meaningful to go next without having to compromise on the type of board they want to ride.
