Tigé Boats Claims Innovation of the Year with Alpha E4 Powered Tower

Tigé Boats has further cemented its status as a trailblazer in the watersports industry by being honored with the coveted Innovation of the Year title at the 2025 WakeWorld Riders Choice Awards. The recognition is due to their state-of-the-art Alpha E4 Powered Tower, an innovation that resonates with both wakesurfing and wakeboarding enthusiasts from all over the world.

A Testament to Excellence in Boating Technology

The Alpha E4 Powered Tower is a testament to Tigé's relentless focus on enhancing user experience and operational convenience. It has rapidly become the favorite among consumers, impressing voters in a pool of significant innovations launched within the last year. According to Charlie Pigeon, the Founder and Owner of Tigé Boats, this award is not just a badge of honor but a reflection of the creative passion and dedication of their team, as they secured this accolade for the second consecutive year and the fourth time overall.

Features of the Award-Winning Alpha E4 Tower

The Alpha E4 is remarkable for its host of cutting-edge features that amplify both performance and convenience. One of its standout functionalities is the electric actuator system that allows users to effortlessly lower the tower to just above windshield height—all at the push of a button. This characteristic signifies a major leap forward in tower design and user-friendly functionality.

Furthermore, the Alpha E4 includes an Elite upgrade, which introduces stunning accent lighting options, adding an element of customization that is attractive to boaters. Consumers also have a choice between two adaptable bimini options: ShadeForce and SolidShade.

+ ShadeForce bimini: This version provides excellent sun protection paired with intuitive operation and built-in board straps for additional convenience.
+ SolidShade bimini: Always deployed, this bimini can be raised or lowered at the touch of a button, making it easy to store or deploy as needed. It also offers premium features that include life jacket hangers and clip-in board bags for organized gear storage.

Tigé's Flagship Ultré ZX

Alongside the triumph of the Alpha E4, Tigé's Ultré ZX model has also been acknowledged in multiple categories. This flagship luxury surf and wakeboard boat has been topping the charts since its launch and remains a go-to choice for premium surf boat buyers.

In the 2025 awards, Ultré ZX claimed a top-three finish in both the wakesurfing and wakeboarding categories, establishing itself as one of the elite boats of its type.
