Remember, you are responsible for your own wake.
When wakesurfing, keep these tips in mind:
•
Speed:
Relatively slow, about 10 mph to churn up surfable wakes without
outrunning the surfer.
•
Line length:
Start with 10-15 feet behind the platform to put you onto a beefy
section of the wake, but far enough back to get you as clear as possible from the
platform of the boat. Make sure to use a rope designed for wakesurfing.
Wakesurf ropes offer a thick braid that is easier to pull yourself into the proper
spot on the wake.
!
CAUTION
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD
DO NOT use the thin, non-stretch ropes intended for
wakeboarding. Thin ropes can be dangerous when you are
pulling yourself into the wake.
•
Driving tips:
Adjust ballast and passengers to favor the stern, but not so much
to risk taking on water. Keep straight and steady with no sudden slowdowns. A
slight turn toward the side the rider is on can help shape the wakes better for
surfing on some boats. Each boat is different here, so experiment with different
things to make the wakes as good as possible
REMEMBER: Never use the gunwales for seating. Doing this is dangerous
and most water patrols will ticket you for this behavior.
•
Ballast:
Factory-installed systems allow you to safely add hundreds of pounds
of water weight in ideal spots on the boat and shape the wakes for each rider's
preference. Weigh down the stern equal to the bow to best maintain your boat's
handling, taking into account passenger seating. A water-filled ballast bag is the
best way to add weight. DO NOT USE ballast that sinks, such as a bucket of
concrete, or lead.
!
WARNING
OVERLOADING HAZARD
Empty the ballast system before trailering your boat. The
extra weight of ballast water may overload the capacity of
your trailer and cause an unsafe condition that can lead to an
accident, injury or death.
