WAKESHOP VERDICT
Our take on this board.
The Friend Ship is one of the most complete cable boards in our range. Flexible tips give you plenty of freedom for deep presses and creative feature riding, but the stiffer centre and tip/tail channels stop it feeling vague when you want to build speed, hold an edge or attack a kicker. If you want one park board rather than choosing between a soft jib board and a more powerful sender, this is an excellent middle ground.
BEST FOR
Cable parks, rails, presses, kickers, air tricks, spins, technical features and riders wanting one versatile park board
NOT IDEAL FOR
Dedicated boat riding, complete beginners or riders specifically wanting the softest possible jib board
WHY WE STOCK IT
Why it earns a place at WakeShop.
We stock the Friend Ship because it bridges the gap between playful jib boards and more powerful performance-focused cable shapes exceptionally well. Its flex tips make presses easy, while the reinforced centre, narrow outline and tip/tail channels provide the stability, grip and response needed for faster approaches and bigger features. It's a genuinely versatile park board for riders who don't want their riding defined by one style.
