Missing Surf Wedge

It reduces the need for ballast weight and it’s found usually on older boats that don’t come with the new fancy surf tabs and tech. They surprisingly work well.

Thank you.

I shall look for it as I pass through that area.

I wonder how that would work at about 5-10 mph, for moving along someone standing up, balanced on a stand up paddle board, in front of the moving wake?

Could be good for us outta shape senior citizens who are too fragile for wake boarding ....... but tough enough for a slow-poke sup?

Also, since there's no tow rope in use, doesn't that mean the boat just needs a driver without a spotter?

Do wake-surf shapers really work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok9ocalx6ak time 5:06

.....seems a little crazy .....could be a good way to get sliced and diced by the boat propeller?
