Our surfing boats are equipped with systems to create large, sweet wakes for surfing -- but this is also dangerous to our shorelines, other boaters and the aquatic habitat.  New laws are coming to regulate wakesurfing and we're sharing these key principles for all wakesurfers to follow in order to protect the future of our sport and to prevent harm.  

For generations, surfers have always had a healthy respect for nature and by following these tips, we can help to protect the environment and ensure that wakesurfing can be enjoyed by future generations:

• Stay in open water.  Demand that your captain/driver stay in areas that have plenty of space for wakes to safely dissipate without harm to the shoreline.  At least 200 feet away from shorelines, docks and other people in the water – swimmers, waders, divers.  

• Be mindful of your wake.  Demand that your driver/captain keep distance from other boats, docks and swimmers.  Your wake is large and disruptive by design, it is dangerous to other people and structures within 200 feet.

• Be mindful of your music.  We all enjoy riding with loud music from our powerful tower mounted audio systems.  But be aware that it is also noise pollution to the environment and disrupts natural behavior for fish, birds and mammals.  

• Be aware of alcohol and drug consumption. Never surf while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  A licensed captain running a charter can face serious charges and risk losing their license.
