WAKESHOP VERDICT
Our take.
★ EDITOR'S CHOICE
Best for Technical Riding
9.4
/10
The Tao is a wakeskate for riders who want to push their technical riding. It feels responsive and connected underfoot, with the control needed for precise board movements and a playful character that rewards an active riding style. Less forgiving than a progression-focused skate like the Focus, but considerably more rewarding for experienced riders looking to develop their trick repertoire.
WHO IT SUITS
Is this the right wakeskate for you?
✓
BEST FOR
Intermediate to advanced wakeskaters who enjoy technical tricks, skate-style riding and a responsive board that rewards precise footwork and good board control.
×
NOT IDEAL FOR
Complete beginners who prioritise maximum stability and forgiveness, or riders looking for the easiest possible wakeskate on which to learn their first starts and basic surface tricks.
WHY WE STOCK IT
Why it earns a place in our range.
Because it gives experienced wakeskaters a genuinely performance-focused option. The Tao brings a technical, skate-inspired feel to the range and provides a clear step up for riders who have moved beyond simply learning the fundamentals.

Why we'd choose it
Choose the Tao if you want a more technical, skate-inspired ride with strong board control, responsive handling and the freedom to push shuvs, spins and more advanced wakeskate tricks.
Compare with the Fattitesi Classic for a more affordable and progression-friendly alternative, the Plus Furious for a wider and more forgiving trick-focused shape, or the Liquid Force Tao for another premium technical freestyle wakeskate.
Choose the Bammer Rehn if you want a highly technical Quantum with a balanced 39.5" platform, higher concave and symmetrical shape that combines strong pop, precise control and versatility for progressive park riding.
Choose the Matti Buys Pro Model if you want a premium rider-developed wakeskate that combines a true skateboard-like feel with balanced flex, consistent pop and predictable control for technical progression.
