At wake9, we love to figure stuff out, work out problems, find solutions, and try to keep the cost down. Have fun watching this video where we discuss to of our recent projects.
Well, two items in the news for us. We are heading up to the NWWSA 2nd annual wakesurf event, can’t wait. We will be broadcasting again live, so stay tuned.
Also, we have been working on our special Surf Tow that pulls you up from the side of the tower, instead of the middle. We have found a much cheaper way of doing it, and its compatible with tube towers, and even towers like the Alpha Z. We have a custom prototype, and we are ordering 10 made for more testing. So far, we are VERY pleased. Can’t wait to share.
If you have been on our boat over the last year, you will have noticed our Surf Nubbin. Its an invention of ours, where we tow the wakesurfer from the side of the boat where they ride on. This works best on the top corner of the tower. This allows the rider to be towed out of the wake, and away from the mush, which is VERY helpful for beginners. This would sell for about $100, but I would need to preorder about 20 of them to start. If you are interested, please contact me. Otherwise, you may watch our “How to Wakesurf 101: Gettin ‘em up” video to see a tip of how to tow like this without one. Its not as convenient, but it works!
Here are some pics of the Nubbin.
Time for a new installment to our how to wakesurf 101 series. This is a great boat activity that doesn’t require advanced skills, and is a blast for all skill levels, and great for pictures and long lasting memories. You will need a larger board, we are using the new Lakewakes “Boat Board” and you can find more info on that board HERE.

So we have been having a lot of fun helping test some The Walker Project (TWP) boards and test and prototype several Lakeswakes boards. This goes all the way back to October of last year when we had our Big Guy Demo event we called the Polar Bear Event, since the water was so cold. We had a blast, and 2 boards floated to the top of the heap. Since then those prototypes have been polished they are blast to ride. There is the high performance Bazooka, a real shredder, and the tamer Lakewakes 5.2 Boat Board. We call it the “Boat Board” because it is fun to ride, still maneuverable and fun, yet with the back fin in very stable and great for all sizes and teaching new people.
