Axis A20 Wakesurfing Review

The littlest brother in the A-series line, the A20 can do a lot for its smaller size, including putting out a plus-size wakesurf wave.

Thanks to a solid stock ballast system and Surf Gate, the A20 puts out a surprisingly big wave for its size, even with just a driver and spotter on board. Our test boat was equipped with a standard Wedge rather than the Power Wedge, so we opted to leave it up. The shape is more mellow and moderate, but it can suit a variety of riding styles. If you like tweaking your wave’s shape, you should opt for the Power Wedge.

The A20 suits wakeboarders and wakesurfers who like the convenience of a smaller boat. For wakesurfers specifically, the wave’s moderate shape is manageable — neither too steep nor too mellow.

Surf Gate. It shines on a smaller boat like the A20 and creates a sizable, fun wave.
Comfort. Despite being just 20 feet long, the A20 is comfortable and you don't feel cramped.
Size. There are advantages to smaller boats, and the A20 has a number of them for those who might not want or need a larger boat.
