Wakesurfing the sub 3 pound wakesurf board

We were enjoying Jake’s wakesurf design in our last post and thought we’d give an update to the sub 3 pound wakesurf board from over the weekend. We got a chance to ride it and it reminded us of the first time we ride the old Walzer pintails. Sadly those boards are out of production, …

Wakesurf design

We thought we’d share a draft of a design by one of our readers Jake B and his dad Jim. The father and son team will be working on this, their first wakesurf board this summer. As we understand it, Jake will be doing the graphics for the wakesurf board when it’s ready for paint …

All of the filings, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, etc are published.  There just isn’t any reason that the processes shouldn’t be public.  Like they say about governing …

Wakesurfs and angles of attack

We’ve talk rather extensively about there being NO FLOAT and NO PUSH associated with a wakesurfs wake. There is bouyancy, but the rider and wakesurf board unit doesn’t float. We’ve demonstrated that by showing a picture of James doing a deep water start with, of course, the board two feet underwater. You’ll hear folks talking …

Wakesurf watermarks

Happy March! We’re just testing a watermarking software on this crappy video, please forgive the “trial version” notice across the top. We’ve had some trouble with folks of late exploiting James and his talents and his videos and not referencing Flyboy Wakesurf appropriately. So, we’re having to apply watermarks to everything wakesurf and wakesurfer related, …

Wakesurf wake and push via crappy wake

In the last post we described how the flow in a wakesurf wake was segmented. Some vertical and some horizontal, but only across the lip and going back away from the boat, not in the perceived direction of travel of the wakesurf wake. It’s interesting to observe, if seemingly chaotic. Ok, so we’ve shown that …

Wakesurf wake paper plate tests

We know you’re thinking we’ve lost our minds! That’s simply not true, they’ve been gone LONG before these tests! In the last post we talked about testing the piece of EPS foam with a stream of water such that it would represent “flow” and then also we used a crude method to simulate the propagation …
