Understanding Wakesurf Boats Surf Systems

Wakesurfing is now the predominant water sport and understanding how a wakesurf boat works is key. By describing the different generations of wakesurf boats and how their wakesurf systems produce a wave, you will be able to determine which boat is best for you and your family. In this video we cover:

1. How wakesurfing began 1:12
2. The first generation of surf boats 1:54
3. The second generation of surf boats 2:30

This sort of skips over Centurion's contributions to the sport. The Centurion Wave was the first boat designed specifically for wakesurf. The Centurion Enzo SV230 was the first modern surf specific boat and still holds its own today.

Wake boats ruin the lakes for everyone who isn’t wake boarding.
Not to mention the erosion of the banks to damage to docks.

Wake boats should be banned. Most inconsiderate boaters anywhere!

The history of the typical wakeboat....:
Year 1: Manchild buys the boat and uses it to haul children young and older around in circles. A Shit-ton of money for gas. This all gets boring very quickly. It is used extensively to massage the ego of the owner.
Year two: Not so much time or desire to show off the old 'hole in the water" that you pour money into. It is used two or three times on the same ol' boring slogs on the lake.
Year three: Hardly used at all...., time for it to go to another manchild seeking ego enhancement.
Oh
