Wakesurfing

Wakesurfing 

 

It's fairly new, each year gaining more and more popularity, sport. It uses a board shaped like a classic surfboard and rider during the journey did not hold on to the rope (during acceleration), and is free to slide on the wave in the wake of the boat. First wakesurfing was distributed among wakeboarders (something like snowboarding, just on the water), but with the rise in popularity of surfing in Russia, it saw a great opportunity to prepare for the classic surf in an urban setting. Now wakesurfing develops in both directions: it is popular, and as a professional sport, and in the complex urban surf training. 

 

wakesurfing - is a great way to actively spend time and feel like a real surfer, without leaving the city. wakesurfing can be practiced in any sufficiently deep and spacious pond. Perfectly suited largest lakes, rivers, seas, reservoirs. For lessons required wakesurfing boat, equipped with a special keel, which will provide quite powerful and a big wave. The boat can create both left and right waves, that allows you to train passages face and his back to the wall of the wave. It is now almost all the clubs feature a wake similar boats. And if the number of seats for the classic surf the Russian small, then wakesurfing ride everywhere, from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad. Most popular wakesurfing received in the cities where there are large surf community, but there is no access to the sea, for example, in Moscow and in the Urals. 

 

An important advantage of wakesurfing attracting many supporters, is that it does not require any special physical preparation: to stay on the wave created by boat, is not difficult. And for the loyal fans of the ocean surf on wakesurfing training - is a great opportunity to keep fit and do not forget the basics of riding until the next holiday. wakesurfing allows you to train a large number of components and the tricks of the classic surfing such as moving up and down the wave Eyry, floater, grabs, longboard tricks with the transition to the nose of the board. Wakesurfing behind a boat, forming a sufficiently strong wave would "rehearse" the future even passages in the tubes. 

 

Now in the Russian championships and cups on wakesurfing held annually, where are the professional athletes from around the world. The most popular competition is Russian Championship on wakesurfing and Kalinka Wakesurf Cup. Some Russian riders took to the world level and the first year participating in international championships, and various regional contests. 

 

It should of course be noted that not deshevoё wakesurfing sooo fun (at least in Moscow time), although a couple of times in the summer to pull the boat rental company is still possible. 

 

By the way - if you're never on anything not riding, you should try to start practice on balansborde 

 

Balansbord develops coordination, allows us to understand how fast to catch the balance on the board, and indeed an interesting thing, where people have long been not just a train, and even do some tricks. 

 

That's all. Personally I wakesurfing rolled three times in my life, and each time caught just enormous pleasure from what I do. And what you suggest! 

 

ALOHA ALL !! Ride my friends!
