Wakesurfing is a relatively new water sport, a cross between surfing and wakeboarding, where a surfer follows behind a boat on a surfboard, riding through the boat's wake, untethered. The surfboard is usually short, about five feet long.
Boats made for wakesurfing have onboard machines that supply tanks with water to weigh down the craft for effortless gliding through the waves. The boat's propeller is also positioned inside, not outside the watercraft, to avoid surfing injuries.
To wakesurf, the surfer needs a wakesurf-specific rope. Surfing with a tiny one can cause rope burns, while big ones may accidentally hit the surfer and cause an accident.
There are two main types of wakesurf boards. Skim boards designed for experienced, fast, and playful riders are usually thinner and shorter with fewer fins. In contrast, the regular-shaped wakesurf board looks like a standard surfboard.
