Wakesurfing is a water sport where a rider surfs on a small board behind a moving boat without being directly pulled by a rope. Instead, the boat creates a large wave, allowing the rider to catch and ride the wave, similar to traditional surfing. The boat typically moves at slower speeds, usually between 10 to 12 miles per hour, to create a suitable wake. To participate in wakesurfing, riders need a wakesurf board, which is shorter and wider than a regular surfboard. Safety gear, such as a life jacket, is also recommended. Wakesurfing is popular for its fun, social atmosphere and accessibility for various skill levels.
