OK I discovered something new this weekend out on the lake. Wakesurfing. You have a small board that’s about the size of a wakeboard, but it’s shaped like small surfboard. Small as in 50 inches. Anyway, you fill up the ballasts on one side of the boat and cruise at about 10 mph which creates this 3 foot wake. It’s identical to a wave that’s about to crash so you are able to ride it without a tow cable. My friend rode if for 5 minutes then hopped back in while we were still going…I PROMISE. I had to tow into the wake but it is extremely easy. On top of that, the best part of this is that it’s a really chill way to wake on the lake. No bindings, no messy wipeouts, just falling in and out of a perpetual wave.

Caught the write up on the endless wave and wanted to get you some information on an Austin based Wakesurf Company. Check out http://www.TXshreds.com for videos and the board that shaped the sport. Give us a ring if you would like to DEMO a board or get out on the water.
Also, we are considering a newsletter for TXshreds and wakesurfing. If you would be interested in writing for the website, let us know. Thanks for your time.
