Wakesurfing is a water sport in which a rider trails behind a boat, riding the boat's wake without being directlypulled by the boat. After getting up on the wake, typically by use of a tow rope, the wakesurfers will drop the rope, and ride the steep face below the wave's peak in a fashion reminiscent of surfing. Wakesurfers generally use special boards, designed specifically for wakes.

A wakesurf boat will run about 10 to 12 miles per hour. This low speed makes getting up on the board easier, and the close distance to the boat makes it easier for the rider and the boat instructor to communicate.

Falling from a wave at this speed is not dangerous, there are no shock loads on the knees.

A few tips for beginners from us:

1 - When starting the movement, do not rush to get up, at first it is better to squat perpendicular to the movement of the boat so that you will not be blown away by foam.

2 - Do not hold on to the rope, but lean on it like a handrail from above, while pulling your hips to it. This will keep your balance.

3 - On the board, keep your weight on your toes, do not stand on your heels - this way you will quickly lose your wave.

4 - Hands should be straight and relaxed. If you instinctively pull them towards you, the board will slide out from under your feet.

5 - When you release the rope remember that the foot in front is the "start" and the back foot is the "brake".

Jokingly referred to as the "lazy man's surfing," the sport allows you to surf untethered in a speedboat's wake as if riding a never-ending ocean wave. It doesn't require the exhausting work of paddling. Surfers also don't need to wait for Mother Nature to deliver a swell. The propeller is also safely tucked under the boat and away from surfers. Super safety conditions! All you need is swimwear and a towel. The rental price already includes board rental, services of an instructor, boat captain, life jacket.

On our boats, the instructor and the captain are different persons! It is very important for your safety. The captain must keep an eye on safety and instruments, and avoid other objects on the water and jet skis. The instructor is always in visual contact with you, telling you how to hold the rope, how to get up and pull yourself up to the wave. He controls the whole process, helping and explaining the necessary basics in order to get up and go.

A life jacket plays a very important role here – not only for your safety, but it keep you afloat, when the boat has not started yet, and your feet are already on the board. You don't waste energy keeping yourself afloat, and it is easier to keep your balance when you stand upright. Plus it keeps you in the water after a fall.

2 - Adherents of wakesurfing trumpet its safety compared with other water sports and the ease with which aspiring wakesurfers can take up the activity.  Boat speed is much slower than traditional water sports ranging from 10-12 mph, so there is very little impact or chance of injury! 

3 - Amazing opportunity to spend great time with your whole family or friends on the boat!

4 - A good shape will be a pleasant bonus - after all, all muscle groups are involved!
