Wakesurfing is an exhilarating watersport that has become extremely popular in the wakeboarding community. It is often referred to as 'lazy man surfing' because the boat does most of the work, eliminating the need for paddling or popping up. This combination creates a unique experience that blends the relaxed flow of surfing with the tricks of wakeboarding.
The accessibility of wakesurfing is what makes it so great. It is suitable for people of all ages and skill levels, from beginners learning to stand on the board to experienced riders. The feeling of effortlessly gliding on the wave, the rush of adrenaline, and the excitement of trying new tricks all contribute to the addictive nature of wakesurfing. It's an opportunity to experience the sheer joy of riding the endless wave that you won't want to miss.

What is wakesurfing?
Wakesurfers don't use bindings and instead ride a smaller, specially designed wakesurf board without foot straps - a little like a short surf board. To begin, riders are towed behind the boat while holding onto a rope. Gradually edging closer to the boat's wake as it accelerates, riders release the rope and start to surf. Instead of relying on the boat's pull, wakesurfers use the wave to propel themselves forward.
Our investment in some of the best boats out there, such as the Super Air Nautique GS20, ensures an ideal experience for wakesurfing. With the flip of a switch, water is pumped into the hulls of the boat to provide ballast, which in turn produces a big wake off the back of the boat for you to surf.
