Nautique Athlete and Wakesurfing Phenom – Drew Daniello
As many of you have probably noticed by now, wakesurfing is hot and everyone is into it. You are, your main squeeze is, heck…even grandma might take a set if you ask her to come out next time!
With wakesurfing’s spike in popularity, a whole new segment has come to market to help you, the rider, create the best surf wave possible for your boat. Many newer boats feature specific systems for better surfing wakes. It’s crazy. But, what do you do if you aren’t in the market for a new boat with one of these systems? Fear not…we got you covered.
I know you already read our last ballast blog…and probably already have your wakeboarding ballast game on lock, but how is your ballast game as it relates to wakesurfing? Do you feel like your wave is still missing amplitude and you can’t figure out how to get that? Are you still having trouble cleaning up the face of your boat’s wave after exhausting adding or re-positioning additional ballast? Is there one more little tweak to get the most out of your wave for surfing, and you just can’t put your finger on it? It’s probably time to try a “Wakesurf Shaper” in conjunction with your aftermarket ballast configuration to unlock the perfect endless wave. Read More >
Last weekend we had the opportunity to go visit the Marine Max Buford location and meet up with our Nautique Boats family! They were in town for a “Ride with the Pros” event then headed to the Nautique Wake Surf Nationals and guess what…they had a 2016 G23! It was great catching up with Noah Flegel and Jimmy LaRiche, and our longtime friend and rep for Hyperlite/Byerly, Eddie Beverly. Eddie, or “EBev,” as he is most known by, had a special treat for us to see with a quiver of 2016 Hyperlite and Byerly surfers. We must say that these two brands knocked it out of the park this year. Most notably Hyperlite has this insane new shape called “The Time Machine.” Seriously, if you know anything about surfing this board is similar to the Tomo surfboards Vader series, but tweaked for wakesurfing. If that weren’t enough, the Time Machine features a cork top for maximum grip, as well as all new Futures Fins! The Byerly crew also have another banger with the 2016 Action, as it features Durashell construction with a EPS core and yes, Byerly Futures Fins! You would be wise to add either one of these to your quiver. Read More >
As a man you have one opportunity to do the biggest surprise of your life, your proposal. Check out how Matthew Gencarella popped the question…via wakesurfing tandem .
