About
Who are we?
I’m Ryan, the owner. I started wakeboarding in 1996 and almost immediately acquired a taste for urban wakeboarding. My dad used to drive our old Dodge Ramcharger down along the canals in Glendale, AZ with me in tow on my wakeboard gliding across that nasty water and I couldn’t get enough. In 2012 I became the Arizona State Wakeskate Champion- Men’s Division, sanctioned by the AWA. I first learned about wakeboard winches in 2008 but was astonished to find only one online for over $3,000. I just didn’t have the scratch, but I did have the skills to make one. Almost immediately afterwards I came across a homemade winch at Bartlett Lake and found the website wakeboarding-winch.com. I decided to build my own. Little did I know at the time, that myself and the folks I was sharing ideas with would become the top wakeboard winch companies of present day. As others did, I tested my winch and found out there was room for improvement. So I built another one, then another one, until I found the right combination of components and frame design. After building and selling a few winches locally, I branded Phoenix Winch, LLC in 2010. I realized that I could provide wakeboard winches better than what was available at the time. As soon as our web site went live we started getting orders.

Just what is a winch?
Winches create unique boarding opportunities almost anytime, anyplace. Whether you’re riding a wakeboard, wakeskate, snowboard, skim board, surfboard, skateboard, mountain board, freeboard or other board, winching allows you to go where no board has gone before. Gone are the days of staring at a serene pond nestled within the big city simply dreaming of shredding the gnar, that dream my friends- is a reality. How about the snow-covered field that had you wishing for a drop in so you could hit a nearby rail- now you can turn that field into a terrain park.
The basic winch is a stationary machine with anywhere from 600’ to 2000’ feet of line and a wakeboard handle that reels a rider toward it at speeds up to 35 mph. It requires an operator or driver to control the speed and of course a rider on his or her favorite board. The price of a winch is hardly a fraction of the price of a boat and it is far more fuel efficient. With virtually no impact on the environment and the ability to change your runs pull after pull you’ll find it almost impossible to commit any sins while riding a Phoenix Winch.
I’m a surfer and would love to get toad into some waves by one of these guys. I was wondering how fast the 13hp engine would go towing a 175 pound person.
35MPH possibly faster
What size sprocket is used on the 13hp setup?
I am looking to buy a winch from you guys because it seems the most affordable new winches that are simple. What would you suggest a 200lb rider that has wakeboarded probably for about 4 years? How much would it cost for the winch and how much to ship to north Dallas approx?
Do your winches have a method of speed control? How do you know how fast you are going?
Also is it possible to use more than 600 ft of line on your spools?
Yes if you are using thin line, 1/4″ will barley fit and it would have to be wound extremely tight.
They have an adjustable throttle control and you can limit its travel, the way we have tested speed is by using a smart phone with gps app in a waterproof case in our boardshorts.
Hey is it possible to order the aluminum frame spool splash guard?
Yes, I’d need to know what size motor you want to put on it.
Do you guys run any sales?
We have not advertised any sales as of yet.
How fast would the 6.5 hp winch tow you?
Hey was just wondering what kind of engine the two headed monster has? Not the hp, where the engine came from, brands.. etc. Very interested in the two headed monster and just want to know a little bit more specifics, cheers.
Hey Phoenix winch I’m looking foward to buy 3 winches from you this summer I’m starting a wakeskate/wakeboard camp im located in south Florida (Miamibeach) ! Website will be coming soon ! Have a few question concerning the winches would there be a package deal or a discount on buying more then 2/3 at once ! Also are your winches gas only or mixed! Thanks for your time
Hey, I have a 12HP engine and rope, what would the cost of ordering a torque converter, spool, wheeled frame, and chain be from you guys? Assembled or unassembled. I live in Canada. Thanks!
Wondering if you sell the 6.5 motor alone or where I could get one.

We could ship the motor to you but to tell the truth, you could probably get one for less, locally.
