wakeboards and rx8
Hello Club!
I am about ready to sign the line on a 2006 rx8 gt 6spman. The only thing in the back of my mind is, does a wakeboard, fit anywhere in the car?? it is 55inches(139cm) long and at most 18 inches wide. Do we have anywakeboarders on here? Can you fit your wakeboard in your car? I have really only had to have my wakeboard in my car a few times year, but if I didnt have to take the SUV to meet up with someone, thatd be awesome!!

Thank you all for the quick responses, I guess I'll have to bring my board along next time. But please feel free to continue the thread if you have measured, or if you have a wakeboard and it does or does not fit.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm not sure if it could fit, I would imagine so if you fold down the seat and set it in on it's edge. I'm pretty sure my snowboard would fit in the back, though I'm in texas right now.

However, even if some do have seats that fold-down, sometimes it's an OPTION, even if the car's structural integrity doesn't depend on the rear-seats holding down a support or two.

I don't know what "heaving" is supposed to mean. Are you trying to say a wakeboard is heavier than a surfboard?
And hyperlitenerd, can you please resize your pictures smaller than 2500 px wide? It ***** up the whole page.
Edit: hyperlite, thanks man =) I'm more of a kneeboarding and slalom skiing fan myself, but I've always been interested in wakeboarding, just never had the opportunity.

I have been able to get up on two feet on a 3-footlong kneeboard. That took me an entire summer to accomplish, and all I was able to do was hang on for dear life in some chop. Still made me feel like Superman though.
