The AZTRON SPACE RIDER 55" Bamboo Wakesurf Board is a hybrid surf-and-skim wakesurf board with a pear-shaped outline, rounded diamond tail and bamboo-veneer deck. It is designed to combine down-the-line speed with controlled, responsive turning.

Hand-finished bamboo and epoxy construction surrounds a CNC-cut EPS core with wooden reinforcement. The 55-inch board has a published volume of 28.9 litres, weighs approximately 3.2kg and includes a removable 4.5-inch FCS-style nylon tri-fin set.

What Is the AZTRON SPACE RIDER Used For?

The SPACE RIDER is designed for wakesurf riders who want characteristics from both surf-style and skim-style boards. Its outline, bamboo deck and larger fins are intended to combine speed, drive and a controlled turning response.

Use the board only behind a compatible purpose-designed wakesurf boat, with the propeller safely isolated from the rider.

Who Is the SPACE RIDER 55 Designed For?

AZTRON publishes a recommended rider range of approximately 84–104kg. The hybrid outline can suit riders who want more drive and fin hold than a compact skim board while retaining a responsive, manoeuvrable shape.

Rider weight should be considered alongside skill level, boat wake, riding speed and preferred fin feel.

What Does the 28.9-Litre Volume Mean?

The 28.9-litre figure describes the board's three-dimensional volume, not a liquid capacity. It reflects the board's length, width, thickness, rails and bottom shape.

Volume contributes to flotation and support, but it is not a direct rider-weight rating. The manufacturer's recommended rider range, board outline, fins, wake shape and rider ability must also be considered.

How Does the SPACE RIDER Ride?

• Pear-shaped progressive outline: Provides board area and speed while narrowing towards the tail for response.
• Rounded diamond tail: Creates defined release points for tight, controlled turns.
• Bamboo deck: Adds stiffness and a lively response while retaining a low board weight.
• 4.5-inch tri-fin setup: Provides drive and a stable, locked-in feel down the wake.
• Tail kick and centre arch: Help the rider locate the rear foot during carving and advanced manoeuvres.

Construction and Design

• Hand-finished bamboo and epoxy composite construction
• Natural bamboo veneer deck
• CNC-cut EPS foam core
• Wooden reinforcement insert
• Performance hybrid outline
• Rounded diamond tail
• Two-section diamond-grooved EVA traction pad
• Rear tail kick and centre arch
• Three-fin FCS-style setup
• Space-inspired underside graphics

What Does the Bamboo Layer Do?

The bamboo veneer reinforces the deck and increases stiffness without the mass of a thick solid-wood structure. AZTRON states that the bamboo construction improves impact and puncture resistance while creating a lively feel during turns and airs.

The bamboo surface remains part of a composite board and should be protected from sharp impacts, prolonged heat and water ingress through damaged areas.

What Does the 4.5-Inch Tri-Fin Setup Do?

The larger three-fin arrangement is designed to produce drive and a more locked-in feel than the smaller fins used on the COMET models. The centre fin supports directional stability, while the side fins contribute grip and turning control.

Install all three fins using the supplied compatible screws and washers, and inspect the fin boxes before every session.

Safety and Use

• Wear a correctly fitted personal flotation device or impact vest suitable for wakesurfing.
• Use only behind a boat specifically designed and approved for wakesurfing.
• Keep clear of the propeller, swim platform and exhaust outlets.
• Use a competent driver and observer where required.
• Inspect the board, fins and traction pads before use.
• Keep within the manufacturer's recommended rider range.
• Keep away from swimmers, docks, shallow water and other vessels.
• Follow local tow-sports and navigation rules.

Care and Storage

• Rinse the board, fins and fin hardware with fresh water after use.
• Remove sand and salt from the fin boxes and screws.
• Allow the board to dry before enclosed storage.
• Remove the fins during transport where they could be struck.
• Store in a shaded, ventilated space away from excessive heat.
• Do not leave the board in a hot vehicle for prolonged periods.
• Avoid dragging the epoxy underside across abrasive surfaces.
• Inspect the bamboo deck, rails, tail and fin boxes for damage.
• Repair composite damage before water reaches the EPS core.
