Yes. I have never seen a closed bow wakeboard boat. Also it is imperative that you never try to wake surf on an outboard or stern drive boat. The prop on a wakeboard boat is far enough forward and partially blocked by the rudder so that if you do slide down the front of the wake you will not get clipped. A website I read indicated that at 9-10mph there is 800lbs of force being generated by the wake that will prevent one from getting too far under the boat.
