Wake Surfing

[Perlmudder]

If this is not the right section for this, I have no problem with the mods moving it. Just wondering if anybody on the board is into it? We do it all the time, although not with a wake surf board, but rather just a 6'3 short board. After watching videos of it on youtube, it really makes me want an inboard boat!

Here's some pics from the other day!

If you get a slow enough boat and a large enough board you can let go of the tow roap and surf tell your legs fall off. If you get a real wake board they are a lot of fun.

Nice! I've done it a few times, although I prefer a wake board! Here's a pretty heavy day of me at the Jersey shore.:03:

It is pretty damn fun! If you have an actual wakeboard boat and a wakesurf board then you can also let go of the ski rope. I tried it a couple times with the short board, and tried to pump into the wake, but it just doesn't work even with 9 people sitting on the back of the boat.

I just don't think I can cross water that slowly and still call it "fun"

My buddy on Lake joe had some real fancy Nautique wakeboard boat he just got and he bought one of those wake surf boards.

It took me like 5 tries before I could get up on it (I am no surfer or snowboard/skateboard guru by any means).

After I got up it took me 2 tries to do it with no rope.

It is actually really fun, if you get a long enough extendable grab hook you can even pass the guy surfing a beer in a bag......and we did!

17km/hr top speed.......lol.

It is of great comfort that Canadians take their beer so seriously! :cheers2:
