Wakesurfing is a newcomer to the world of water sports. It combines the concepts of wakeboarding with those of traditional surfing. Surfers use a different board and start by being pulled behind a boat. Once the ideal wakes have been created, the wakesurfer releases the rope and rides the wake solo.
