Grabby started as a rider-facing app for finding wakeboarding events. They've since tried to bolt on booking and POS features — essentially copying wakesys functionality and even our hardware designs. But bolting features onto a social app doesn't make it business software. If you're running a wake park, you need a purpose-built system: pre-arrival waivers, proper POS, capacity management, and real-time reporting. That's what wakesys delivers.

Why operators choose wakesys over Grabby
Real reasons from real park operators who made the switch.
Built for park operators
Grabby was built for riders to discover events. wakesys was built for park operators to run their businesses. We understand your operations.
Full point of sale system
Process walk-ins, sell retail and rentals, manage tabs, and handle group bookings — all from the same system. Grabby doesn't have a POS.
Pre-arrival waivers that work
Guests sign waivers before they arrive. Groups share claim links. No more clipboards at the dock. Grabby doesn't handle waivers.
Real capacity management
Control how many riders per session, manage queue priority, prevent overbooking. Critical for safety. Not available in Grabby.
60-second mobile booking
Your guests book in 60 seconds on their phones, not by downloading a separate app. Embedded directly on your website.
Free for all of 2026
Full business software, zero cost. No credit card required. Try everything risk-free.
What sets wakesys apart
Features you won't find anywhere else.
B2B vs Consumer Platform
This is the fundamental difference: Grabby is a consumer app for riders to discover wakeboarding events. wakesys is B2B software for park operators to manage their entire business. They're not really competitors — they serve completely different audiences. If you're running a wake park, you need wakesys.
Complete Park Management
wakesys isn't just booking software — it's your entire operation. Online booking with pre-arrival waivers, walk-in POS, retail and rental sales, capacity management, real-time reporting, and customer CRM. Everything in one platform.
Pre-Arrival Digital Waivers
The feature that changes everything. Guests sign waivers at home before they arrive. Group organizers share a claim link — every parent signs their own kid's waiver. Zero waiver queues on arrival day. Essential for any wake park, and Grabby doesn't offer it.
Built by Park Operators
We run parks ourselves. Every feature in wakesys exists because we needed it at our own facilities. We understand peak day chaos, seasonal staffing, and the importance of getting guests on the water fast.
