WAKESHOP VERDICT
Our take.
Best for Premium Progression
9.6
/10
The Midnight is Matti Buys' signature edition of the 2026 Wakeskate Wednesday × HECA collaboration, and it is one of the most complete progression-focused wakeskates in the range. HECA's proprietary construction balances weight, flex and durability beautifully, giving the board a stable and confidence-inspiring feel without sacrificing response. The progressive 3-stage rocker delivers consistent pop, while the subtle convex base keeps the ride smooth and controlled. Add the upgraded 2026 HDPE grindbase and you have a board that can take a rider from developing fundamentals into serious technical and obstacle riding.
WHO IT SUITS
Is this the right wakeskate for you?
✓
BEST FOR
Beginner through advanced progressing wakeskaters who want a premium, stable yet responsive board for all-round riding, technical progression and cable-park obstacles.
×
NOT IDEAL FOR
Riders looking for the cheapest possible introduction to wakeskating, or advanced riders who specifically want a highly specialised pro-model shape built around one particular style of technical riding.
WHY WE STOCK IT
Why it earns a place in our range.
Because it represents exactly the kind of specialist wakeskate we want in the Wakeshop range. The Midnight combines HECA's in-house CNC manufacturing and hand finishing with a carefully developed paulownia and plywood construction, progressive rocker and upgraded 2026 grindbase. It offers genuine progression potential without requiring the rider to sacrifice stability or confidence.

Fattitesi
Choose the Classic 38.5" if you want an accessible traditional wood wakeskate that you can learn on without quickly outgrowing. Its compact shape, 3D concave and progressive 3-stage rocker make it confidence-inspiring, while the fibreglass-reinforced wood construction and sintered base give it much more progression potential than a basic entry-level skate.
