Kestrel Take
The value surf boat — Moomba (built by Skier's Choice, alongside Supra) delivers a genuinely good surf wave and solid build at a notably lower price than the premium brands. It's the smart-money way into wake surfing. Still a hard-used surf boat, so ballast/surf systems, engine hours, and drivetrain are the inspection. A documented Mojo is a lot of surf boat for the money; verify the systems and service.
What we checked
Not checked against public records
Boats are the Coast Guard’s, not NHTSA’s. It publishes a Cases and Campaigns file, but its model and year fields are free text and the recent entries are mostly hull-ID and capacity-label paperwork, so we have not been able to join it to a specific boat honestly yet. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
