The parabolic shape and concave bottom was designed with the intent to help the beginner surfer up and out of the water easily and quickly into the sweet spot. The design, which was inspired by a snowboarder and ocean surfer, achieved the initial goal and the design proved to be much faster than the conventional wake surfboard. Further designs such as the 4’8” fish and 4” 4” round tail quad achieved quicker, sharper turns and unprecedented bursts of speed. It was the speed of the fish in a new wave that challenged our nearly 49 year-old rider, Mike, a bit at the NWSSA open. Twice the boards are made to aggressively charge a wave similar to surfing a hollow ocean beach wave. Mike slammed the back of the tow-boat twice. We are currently in the design stage for the surfskim board and are beginning to look for team riders. We believe our surfskim will continue our theme of speed but add more snap for bigger ollies and airs. We have created a blogsite, Seattlesoulsurf.blogspot.com with additional information about the boards and would appreciate your comments and opinions. We maybe in contact to have you shot some footage. Thanks

no problem, the battery problem was with the transmitter, not the camera, so it was still recording.

Awesome!!! I thought the camera battery died since the video wasn’t working on shore for my run… I was riding a CWB Tsunami and this is my second season wakesurfing. Thanks again!!!

It is an Inland Surfer Swallow Tail with 2 fins rather than 4. I’ve been surfing for 3 years and started surfing the Swallow Tail at the beginning of this season. I surfed the Inland Surfer Yellow Loogie prior to this season. I was hoping to hit one of those 360s and will be hitting them for next year’s competition. Watch out Kevin!

Nice run, James! I’m riding my second year (first-year boat owner) and bringing the sport of Wakesurfing to LIFE out here in Burlington, VT! Working on creating a site dedicated to wakesurfing in VT, so keep an eye out!

I ride an 09 Inland Surfer Sweet Spot, an 09 Phase 5 Drew Danielo, and an ’08 Inland Surfer Blue Lake. We ride with 2700 lbs of ballast, plus 5 riders
