If you’ve been following along we did a test of a super thin composite sandwich wakesurf boards and liked certain aspects of the way it rode. It also had some unwanted flex, so we’re back to the drawing board on that project, but it caused us to pause for a moment. That super thin design is …

So we’ve been harping on a number of wakesurfer issues and if you’ve been following along you’re most likely sick-and-tired of them. One is this concept of push vs fall and the other is how that effects wakesurfer design. We’ve made an argument that MOST, but not all, wakesurf boards are planing as they skim …

Reading an article on ESPN about Sean Mattison introduced a closer look at his “Nubster”. That sounds awful, but it’s actually just a small, almost wakeboard like trailer fin. Quads aren’t a favorite around here, neither are thrusters but there seems to be tons of uncertainy about what competitive wakesurfing will look like in ’12. …

In ocean surfing there is an old saying that a single design won’t work in all waves, all the time for all surfers. Makes sense, but sometimes I think wakesurf folks lose sight of it, or perhaps they have more experience with wakeboards where there is more of a one-size-fits-all acceptablity when first getting started. …

We’ll start this post with the end result. We’ve been messing with some new tech and have a workable wakesurf board. We’ll talk about the details of this new wakesurf board over the next few weeks but wanted you to get an idea of how it performed. This is James wakesurfing it for the first time …
