Wake Surfing

Written by Neil Galloway
 

I got to try out wake surfing for the first time this weekend out on Tie Lake in British Columbia, Canada. Basically, you are on a short surfboard and you "surf" the wake behind the boat. You need a big wake so lots of people and a slow speed help to give it the right shape.

You start in the water by holding the tow rope and the boat starts slowly. You get your feet pressed solidly against the board (there is a grippy surface on the top), and when the boat speeds up you come right out on top of the water. You use the rope to get yourself in the right spot along the wake. Once you find your balance you can stay there and try to do tricks.

Here is a picture of a friend at the lake and I found this cool video on YouTube as well.
