Ragboy and RJ have some fun with ballast and speed with the RZ2. The goal was to make a longer wake than normal. Just how versatile is the surf wake behind the RZ2?

Wakesurfing with the Wolters

August 23rd, 2010 ragboy No comments

What a great day we had with the the Wolters. You would have to be a real depressed individual to not have a good time with Frank. RJ describes Frank as the male Whitney. Whitney is always smiling, always positive, and always laughing at something. That is Frank. Its a pleasure to have the Wolters on our boat, and we can’t wait to do it again. We took some video, of course, here it is. Sorry about the foggy lens, some moisture got in there. Still had a GREAT day.

But make you watch til the end, Jessica did some amazing wakesurfing.

MyWake is HERE, and Just having FUN

July 19th, 2010 ragboy No comments

We always have something to do, especially with the MyWake contest and the Festival and such, always a video or something to test, etc, etc. Now don’t get me wrong, we love it, but it has been HOT, over 100 degrees lately and sometimes you just want to spend some time surfing and swimming. And that is what we did, and we had so much fun, we figured we had to share it.

Don’t forget to check out and register on MyWake, registration is OPEN!

How to Wakesurf 101: Gettin’ ‘em Up

July 11th, 2010 ragboy No comments

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”.

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.

Here are a bunch of great pictures of the day:

Jessica Wakesurfs on the Rope!

July 2nd, 2010 ragboy No comments

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.

Here are all of the great pictures:

How to Wakesurf 101: Tandem Wakesurfing

June 29th, 2010 ragboy No comments

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.

You can view the entire HOW TO WAKESURF 101 Series HERE.

New 2010 RZ2 for Wake9.com

June 29th, 2010 ragboy No comments

So, were hoping to have ready by the 4th, but either way we are stoked. I originally came up with some colors and then Danny from Tige asked me if he could just design something sick with a WHITE tower. That sounded intriguing. I am always up for an adventure, so I said ok. He’s hispanic, we should be simpatico, right? ;-)

Here is a slideshow, we will keep blogging as we get more pics, and then when it is delivered.

OK, I am REALLY interested to see how this tower is going to look. Has anyone seen a white alpha z tower in the wild?
