BOAT REVIEW
There’s a good reason the Supra Launch 24 SSV is the wakeboard boat of choice for Supra team pros Josh Sanders, Ben Greenwood and Trevor Hansen. With an impressive 1,450-pound standard ballast system working in harmony with the Supra Ride System, which optimizes tracking, time to plane and speed control, the riding experience behind this big rig is among the best in the industry. Dialing up a perfectly personalized wake is easy, too, thanks to eight individual presets that remember your favorite size, shape and symmetry.

INSIDE THE BOAT
As the largest boat in Supra’s line, the Launch 24 SSV offers major room for 16 adults in the L-shaped lounge and expansive bow. A stern-facing bench is super-versatile, with a cooler hidden beneath, and the new low-profile dash in the cockpit is a real winner.

BEHIND THE BOAT
You would expect impressive wakes behind the deepest hull in the Supra lineup, and that’s exactly what you get. Besides great size, the transition and shape are outstanding. It’s wakes like these that allow pro riders (and maybe you too) to progress the sport to new heights.
