Match the Board to the Wave
Your boat's wave matters too. A bigger, ballasted wake supports larger surf boards and lets you ride deeper in the pocket, while a smaller wave pairs better with a more buoyant board that planes easily. On Lake Lanier's glassy mornings, a well-shaped wave plus the right board is a recipe for endless rides.

Tips for Your Best Session
Ride early for the cleanest water, always keep a spotter aboard in addition to the driver, and never swim near a running propeller, approach and exit the board from the side of the boat with the engine off. Start with a slightly larger board for stability, and once you are confident in the pocket, you can progress to smaller, more responsive boards and even your first carves and pumps.
