In the last few weeks I’ve tried to see how fast I can wakesurf. My perfect pass is a little off, and under reports speed so I haven't been sure exactly how fast I’ve been surfing. Today we had a GPS on board and used it to gauge speed.
On my first run I rode my Mojo XL. I actually had trouble riding at lower speeds, my wake was a bit steep, at about 13 mph the Mojo started to cruise really nicely and the pocket got very long. I was able to keep riding up to 15 mph, losing my ride around 15.5 mph. The feel of the board on the water was very different, I didn’t do any carving other than pumping to get back in the pocket.
Next I rode my Red Tide for speed. I was able to get up to 14.7 mph on the Big Red Tide. The Red Tide felt a little funny at high speed. Water from front the toe edge of the board and back along the toe side was washing over the board, pushing the board sideways a little and making the ride feel kid of lose.
The throttle was maxed out when I was riding the Red Tide, I’m not sure I know why the boat was running faster when I was surfing the Mojo than the Red Tide.
How fast do you ride?
