As this forum says, this has nothing to do with sailing. Some good friends of ours invited us down to their family cabin on Tablerock Lake in MO. They have a sweet Mastercraft ski boat. I had never seen this done before. He can fill some ballast tanks to drop the stern low and to one side, and create a wave, not wake at about 12mph. The "kids" got out on a wakeboard with a short tow rope, got in front of the wave and surfed behind the boat. They were able to toss the rope back on board and just surf behind the boat hands free! One of them got close enough that we could hand him a beer!
Tablerock is a nice lake but it is not for sailors. It's man made. Narrow, lots of fingers and sets low under the bluffs. There's no wind to speak of. It was a fun weekend nonetheless!
