​
WHAT IS WAKESURFING?
Wake surfing is a water sport where a rider surfs the wake created by a boat without being directly pulled by a rope. After getting up using a tow rope, the surfer releases it and rides the wave generated by the boat’s hull, staying in the pocket of the wake.
​
DO I NEED PRIOR EXPERIENCE?
Not at all! Wake surfing is beginner-friendly, and I provide lessons tailored to all skill levels. Whether it’s your first time or you’re looking to refine your technique, I’ll guide you through the process to ensure a fun and safe ride.
​
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WAKESURFING AND WAKEBOARDING?
Wakeboarding involves riding on a smaller board while being towed by a rope the entire time, whereas wake surfing is done without a rope once you’re up and riding the wave created by the boat. Wake surfing also operates at a slower speed, making it a smoother and more relaxed ride.
​
IS WAKESURFING SAFE?
Yes! Wake surfing is one of the safest water sports because the boat moves at slower speeds (typically 10-12 mph). I prioritize safety by providing proper instruction, using the right equipment, and ensuring all riders wear life jackets.
