No waves no problem , grab a big boat and head offshore...

Lots of fun heaps harder than it looks , but a great day out on the water. If anyone tells you Sups can't surf show them this. Myself and Daniel O'Sullivan on the cameras. Nice job Deem's We got dragged in by a rope and let go , some of the footage looks fast but it's all real time nothing is speed up , average speed about 14 knots behind a 10 tonne 44 foot PLEYSIER game boat.

Yeah Lace it was a leg pumper , Keahi was all over it. You had to push so hard. Geoff Breen did well 8 weeks out from a broken leg..

Andy we have a bigger boat lined up 70 foot & 40 tonne that does 35 knots

Great vid...like the angle from up on the top deck looking down.

Done it a bunch of times on a 4'6" x 1.25" which probably sounds small but I found it easier
than on my regular 6'0" surfboard. Never tried on a SUP though. Looks super fun!

Nice Rob. Keahi made it look a lot easier than it was no doubt.

Great vid! Keahi is all over it - love the wake crossover.

We've done it with a 20ft alum boat on the Glenelg River with a mate's 9'10" psh hull paddler (I think). I was so keen to have a go but unfortunately the only licensed skipper at the time.

wake surfing is hell fun ..used to do it on a 4 foot board with tiny fins super easy to slide around as you cant really do proper turns on a bigger board so much fun that brings back good memories .... would love to try again someday now boat less ., and super jealous!!
Cool edit Rob and stoked for the channel 9 news coverage

We used to do it as grommets towing behind a punt on our shortboards. We took the inshore option where you had to contend with oyster leases and mangroves...
Some beaut spills resulted from taunts such as "...dare ya to go the other side of the oyster rack".

Also saw this the other day

Fuel bill, it may almost be cheaper to fly to Bali

Great clips..
