CATEGORIESSummer is all about getting outside, making the most of long days on the water, and creating memories with family and friends. Whether your ideal weekend involves a peaceful paddle across an alpine lake or an adrenaline-filled afternoon towing friends behind the boat, the right gear makes every outing better. West Marine's Wakeshore lineup offers affordable, fun-focused equipment that's built to maximize time on the water without overcomplicating your adventure. Here are three standout picks to help you make the most of the season.
A stand-up paddleboard is one of the most versatile additions to any summer gear collection, and the Wakeshore 10'6" Package is ready for everything from early morning fitness paddles to relaxing sunset cruises. Its all-around shape provides the stability beginners appreciate while remaining responsive enough for experienced paddlers exploring lakes, calm rivers, or sheltered coastal waters. The complete package includes the essentials to get on the water quickly, making it an easy choice for anyone looking to start paddling without hunting down extra accessories. Whether you're chasing a workout, bringing the dog along for a cruise, or simply enjoying a quiet escape, this board delivers an approachable, confidence-inspiring ride.
When the goal is maximum laughs, it's hard to beat a towable tube. The Wakeshore 3-Rider Chariot brings an exciting twist with its chariot-style design that lets riders kneel while hanging on through every wake and turn. Built for groups, it's perfect for families with older kids or friends who want a more action-packed ride behind the boat. Durable construction, comfortable padded contact points, and sturdy grab handles help riders stay comfortable even when the driver turns up the excitement. It's the kind of addition that quickly becomes the highlight of every lake day. Towable tubes designed for multiple riders and chariot-style riding offer a thrilling experience while remaining easy to tow and enjoy with the right boat setup.
Not every ride behind the boat needs to be an all-out thrill session. The Wakeshore 2-Rider Towable Tube is an excellent option for smaller groups, younger families, or anyone who wants a versatile tube that can deliver everything from smooth cruises to exciting runs across the wake. Its compact size makes it easier to store and handle while still offering plenty of fun for two riders. Comfortable handles and durable materials are built to withstand repeated weekends on the water, making this an easy grab whenever it's time to head to the lake. Whether you're introducing first-time riders or looking for a dependable tube that everyone can enjoy, this one fits the bill. West Marine recommends selecting a tow rope matched to rider capacity and ensuring every rider wears a properly fitted life jacket before heading out.
Whether you're exploring quiet coves on a paddleboard or bouncing across the wake on a towable tube, the best summer memories are made on the water. With the Wakeshore lineup from West Marine, it's easy to outfit your next adventure with gear that's designed for fun, durability, and easy days outside.
