Recognizing that wake boarding and wake surfing are different, and not being a practitioner of either I am at a disadvantage, I might understand why wake boarders want calmer water to curl that perfect wake and to land of flat water when performing various stunts (not sure that the right term,,,) Similar in many ways to water skiing.

But for the wake surfers, I dont see the need to be in a quiet cove, it looks to me like they could function just as well out on the Broads (assuming reasonable water conditions)

Maybe I'm missing something?

Again, not really up on this matter and really haven't thought much about it except when in a quiet cove either anchored or cruising around slowly and then getting hit by the monster waves these boats throw. Cant say it even has happened to us often, but its memorable when it does happen, especially if you are eating lunch or just laying out on a seat or deck and you get thrown off unexpectedly
