Lake Martin Magazine

Wakesurfing has grown like wildfire on Lake Martin. I’m not sure what sparked it, but I’ve seen more and more slow towing boats with surfers working to stay on the wave than ever before.

s the summer comes to an end, I thought this would be a fitting issue to speak of the evolution of watersports and the future. I look back at what has come about since the first day I got up on two wooden skis. Back then there was no wakeboarding, wakeskating or wakesurfing – now a multi-million dollar sports industry that dominates the market.

This month I called Jeff Mathis for the trick tip. Jeff is a regional rider for CWB and one I really like to watch because he just has mad style.

The winter months are difficult for us riders. You have a few options: To find someone else who is willing to get a boat in the water and endure the unpleasant temperatures or travel to a location south where the temperature and water is warmer.
