    Bezerko looks to be making a killer wake, but it all looks very extreme compared to the way we set up - the wake also looks to be going more parralel to the boat and less perpendicular to the boat. With a wake like that the surfer must keep climbing the wake to stay in the pocket and do spins.

    We have a 211, run 8-9 MPH, starboard and belly tanks full, and everyone in the boat behind the driver's seat. No fatties or people on the gunnells. The wake is about 4' and rides easy. We surf righthand-regular on the driver's side of the boat - no way on the port side without a rope - the wake is washed out. It seems like the edge is easier to control on the heal side.

    What I want to know is how to truly "hang ten" while inland surfing?

      Backup a minute Deuce. The wine & women in the front, he's surfing & you are on the platform. You got the raw end of that one!

        Spinning is still easy to do on a longer section, I'm using the Obrien Atlas here it is alot looser and faster than the Liquid Force Skimskate. I personally much prefer the faster looser feel. As a matter of fact I find it harder to stop spinning on the Obrien Atlas than to start the spin. Here a few pics.

          You are correct Old Fart....but the real party was back at the houseboats that night. Bringing back memories like that, sometimes I wonder why everyone doesn't own a boat or quickly make friends with someone who does.
