What Is Wakesurfing?
Wakesurfing is a watersport where the rider trails behind a specially designed boat, surfing the wave created by the boat’s wake. After using a tow rope to stand up, the rider releases it and continues surfing, completely free and in control.
Unlike wakeboarding or waterskiing, wakesurfing happens at slower speeds (around 10–12 mph), making it easier on the joints and perfect for longer, more enjoyable rides. It’s low-impact, high-fun, and incredibly addicting.
Why Long Island Riders Love Wakesurfing
The calm bays and open water around Northport offer ideal conditions for wakesurfing, and locals are quickly falling in love with this sport. Here’s why:
- Endless Waves Without the Ocean Crowds: Skip the beach traffic and enjoy perfect conditions with your own boat-generated wave.
