Wakesurf like a Whizz

Wife, mother, lover of fast cars and wakesurfing

“The hardest thing when you take up wakesurfing is letting go of the rope, which is known as going wireless. Unlike wakeboarding, where you are dragged by a rope from the boat, wakesurfing requires you to drop the rope and ride the wave made by the boat. A good wakesurfer needs muscle strength to maintain core stability, and ankle and knee flexibility. You must feel relaxed and yet balanced. Get a feel for the sensation of carving. As with skiing and snowboarding, you need to master subtle movements to achieve equilibrium on the board. Head out for a 6am weekday ride as there’s often no one else out on the water at that time. If the sun is shining, the reflections make you feel like you’re skating along on a mirror. There’s nothing better.”
