So this is the next 101 video in our series. After you Get em Up, you have to get them Going Wireless, or Freeriding, which basically means surfing without the rope. The key, just like getting them up is feet position, but also balance and smooth easy corrections. In this video we detail how to accomplish this, and how to teach others how to go wireless quickly.
When people watch these videos, there are often lots of questions, and we want to help, but its tough to stay on top of all the emails. So go HERE and feel free to post any questions, and feel free to post pictures of your results, we LOVE to see them.
So we have been working on techniques for teaching others to wakesurf for quite some time. We teach a lot of people, mostly kids but many adults also. In this podcast, part of the “How to Wakesurf” series we show several techniques in detail for teaching others how to wakesurf. We had a couple of my nephews visit from Texas, they are 9 and 10 and non-boaters. They each got up and surfed with the rope after just a handful of tries. Stay tuned for the next podcast in this series, “Going Wireless”.

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!
Its been a long time coming, almost 18 mos. We have been working hard to get Jessica to stand up on her own and ride behind the boat. Most kids learn a lot quicker, but if you have been following wake9.com you know Jesse is special, and has a condition with her legs that make it difficult for her to keep her balance. We are VERY proud, watch the video.
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.

We had to combine the Women’s Open with the Amateur Women’s division, but we still had some great surfing. Bri Chmel takes first place with a great run, but HELLO, here comes Adriana Borelli with a second place and $350. This division saw the highest prize money.
Some great competition in this class. Kevin Riffle from Seattle took first, RJ took second, and watch out for Chris Wolter, he took third and was so stoked he signed up for worlds. Good luck, Chris!.
So we RJ, Dennis, Chase, Farrah, Dave and Maddie had a great time surfing the V226. It had a great wake on both sides. The pocket seemed a little shorter than the RZ2 but I didn’t hear any complaints, everyone enjoyed it. I heard the goofy wake may be a bit better than the regular, but both sides were good. Watch the video and check the photos section to see for yourself. I have to apologize in advance for our intro.
