Surfing in the ocean has always been a great hobby for water bugs. Many movies were based around surfing and catching the big waves. Surfers would struggle to paddle out and then wait for an awesome wave to develop. Then, if they hit the wave just right, they might get in a 30 second ride to the shore. All of this just to paddle out and wait again. Many surfers became interested in Wakeboarding when it's popularity grew, but still loved to get that awesome surf wave. Inboard boats now have water ballast systems that hold water in tanks to weight the boat down creating monstrous wakes. The bigger the wake, the more air for a wakeboarder. Surfers saw these wakes and started using them for their sport. By adding weight to the rear corner of the boat, it creates a huge wake like you would see at the ocean. But unlike the ocean, this wake continues for as long as the surfer can stay up. Average speeds are only around 10-12 miles per hour. Falls are almost slow motion. Wakesurfing 101 is the essential tool for beginners to learn the basics in this really fun sport! Produced by Stan Fyfe and Old Forge Productions.
