Boat setup
Displacement Hull
A deep, displacement-style wake-boat hull that pushes a large volume of water aside at slow surf speeds to throw a tall, clean, long-pushing wakesurf wave.
Wakesurf boats use deep hulls that displace a large volume of water at the slow speeds (roughly 10-12 mph) used for surfing. Inboard wake boats are specifically designed with deeper hulls that provide more water displacement to generate the ideal wave. The amount and shape of water the hull moves aside, combined with ballast and trim, determines the wave's size and form.
Manufacturers differentiate their hulls heavily for wakesurfing—Tige's Convex V and Centurion's Opti-V are examples credited with producing especially long, clean production waves. Adding ballast displaces the hull even deeper, directly increasing wave size.
