Default wake surfing

Well.............we were told we couldnt do it behind out boat. BS to those that doubted my daughter. She has only done it (behind a wake boat) 2 times before.

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. You should never, and I mean never to that behind a stern drive boat. I've heard of people loosing their arms when falling into the prop.

    its hard to see that she is about 15 feet behind the boat. We factored that into our speed and wake size

    That looks like a good time. did she go no rope though? I thought the whole surfing thing was without the rope?

    I had no intention of hi-lighting her inexperience, to the contrary, I think she is doing great at a cool new sport.

    Hard to beat a nice boat for the great family adventures.
