Boats & Pros – Supreme S226
Straight from the Gear Guide issue on stands now is the first of our special “Boats & Pros” section. We featured one boat and one team rider from each manufacturer. Said team rider did a photo shoot with his preferred board of choice and answered our extremely witty fill-in-the-blank questionnaire. Here is the Supreme S226 and wakesurfer Hunter Sims.

*The specs above are 100% accurate, but if you compare them to the ones printed in the Gear Guide they are off. That is because we were off with the Gear Guide. Our apologies for the misprint; they were incorrect because we were up late partying proofing and missed the mistake.
The Supreme S226 is my boat of choice because of its versatility and size . Plus the sound system is (insert fire emoji here) . The wake is so massive that I can get so pitted every time I ride. Seriously, it’s bigger than a sasquatch on a unicorn . This boat’s spirit animal is a narwhal because it has horns on the front and is totally something people think is fake until they see it’s real .
I can fit all of my smoothies , boards , and ballast without anybody having to uncomfortably caress each other.
Of course, you can’t talk about a boat as gnarly as this without mentioning the trim tabs and the Ramfill ballast . There are 11 speakers in this boat, which means it’s louder than the monster trucks at a mud bog . Tropical trap is my favorite style of music to blast through the system while I’m working on my air reverses .
If you’re into boat surfing this thing will put out a wave that will hit you with a burger while you grill out . Seriously it comes up to my belly and makes me feel giggly . It’s all possible thanks to the V-hull that does a lot of water displacement and weight distribution .
I mean, just look at this thing. It’s got more steeze than a pile o’ cheese , and is prettier than a block of sharp cheddar .
The only thing I like better than this boat is Christmas and that’s because I’m a big fan of winter break (and Jesus’ birthday) .
