    Wakesurfing Help

    Would it be possible to create a rideable wave behind my boat with a single fatsack loaded along the gunnel? Looking to get my 6 and 8 year old girls into a water sport that they can do mid day when the water is choppy. I only hydrofoil these days but have a fatsack left over from my wakeboarding days.

    You would probably want more weight than a single fat sac to provide a decent wave. However, they could probably learn to get the feel of the board and learn how to stand up, but would probably need to hold onto the rope the whole time as one fat sack probably won't create a big enough wave to give a decent push.

    Wakesurfing is a great way to spend the afternoons when the water gets too rough.
