Q & A
1. WHAT IS WAKESURFING?
Wakesurfing is a newer towable water sport that is up and coming. The technology in our Mastercraft boat makes learning this fun sport very simple. The boards are strapless and we surf between a speed of 10 mph making it a very low impact sport. We have taught kids as young as 5 years old all the way up to 70 years old. The learning curve is very quick and it's easy to transition different riders allowing everyone much more time on the water.The ultimate goal of wakesurfing is to throw the rope and surf our never ending wave!2. WHEN SHOULD I BOOK BY?
