We’ve noticed that very few folks even attempt this orientation, perhaps simply because they aren’t aware they can? Not really sure, but it’s a great way to add some …

Well we’d rather be wakesurfing, but it doesn’t pay the bills! While we are working and NOT going to the lake, that gives us some time to focus on building our wakesurf board. We are using some Unidirectional Carbon Fiber tape along the rails of this board for a couple of reasons. First a little …

It’s not been a great year, so far. Not that it was a bad year by any means, just not stellar. I mean there were certainly pockets of joy, but also some struggles. This past weekend the family got a chance to go out with a few friends and do some wakesurfing and it was …

We’ve completed the shaping of the board, we didn’t detail the shaping of the bottom concave mostly because we forgot! Principally we used the plane to hack out some …

James Walker created The Indecision as something different. We like variety in a wakesurf run. This wakesurf trick is an ollie 180 in, with a stall and then a surface backside 180 out.
