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.
