The Pavati AL-24 is my boat of choice because of its game changing design and its wave making mastery . Plus the RipTide Surf System is super smooth and pushes me to try new tricks every session . The wake is so long and powerful that I can throw 540 trick combos with no worries every time I ride. Seriously, it’s bigger than a linebacker on a skimboard . This boat’s spirit animal is a crocodile because it has mean diamond plate features and is totally king of the river .
I can fit all of my camera gear , Phase5 quiver, Not Beer, equipment , and all the bros and gals without anybody having to fight over each other.
Of course, you can’t talk about a boat as innovative as this without mentioning the Garmin electronic system and the effortless feeling of starting up the boat while still on the dock with the Garmin Helm App on my iPhone . There are more than enough speakers in this boat, which means it’s louder than a crowd of teeny-boppers at a Justin Bieber concert . Hype muisc is my favorite style of jams to blast through the system while I’m working on my transfer tricks .
If you’re into boat surfing this thing will put out a wave that will shock you with excitement while you smile from ear to ear in pure stoke . Seriously it comes up to my belly button and makes me feel selfish because sometimes you can’t get me off the wave . It’s all possible thanks to the AL-24 that does a lot of customizable wave settings and pushes the sport of wakesurfing in every aspect .
I mean, just look at this thing. It’s got more viewers than a Victoria’s Secret fashion show , and is prettier than summer lake day in Florida .
The only thing I like better than this boat is the ocean and that’s because I’m a born beach rat .
