1. Wakesurfing Prices

“Is it expensive?” The price is definitely not expensive. For example, using the Mastercraft X2 21 speedboat as an example, which can accommodate up to five people, even on holidays, the average price per person per hour is only $180 or more.

Of course, it is not recommended for nine people to rent for only two hours. The coach recommends that novice riders/surfers try to play for 30 minutes each person, including professional wakesurfing coaching. Generally, half an hour is enough to successfully start skiing on the water. And the coach and captain are very professional and will adjust the boat speed according to the situation, so even novice players do not need to worry. If you have more time, we highly recommend renting for three hours or more. Because preparing for wakeboarding/wakesurfing generally takes some time, from putting on a life jacket to sailing out to the selected bay and starting to play in the water, it may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. So if you only rent for two hours, you may have to return to the shore quickly after playing for a while, which may leave you feeling unfulfilled. Therefore, we strongly recommend renting for three hours or more. The price will not be much different, but the experience you get will be different!

Sai Kung District (Chung Hom Kok, Tai Long Wan, Cham Tseng Wan, Sai Kung Waters)

#1 Chung Hom Kok/Tai Long Wan

When it comes to playing in the water, many people love the Sai Kung District, which is known as the “Maldives of Hong Kong.” There are many different wakesurfing locations and speedboat options in Sai Kung. The boat trip from Sai Kung Pier to Chung Hom Kok and Tai Long Wan is relatively short, only about 10 minutes. Therefore, you will have much more time to play in the water, and you will have more time to practice and naturally become more proficient! The calm and spacious water surface is very suitable for wakesurfing in nearby waters.

3. Age Limit for Wakesurfing

Many people ask, “Can children play wakesurfing/wakeboarding?” Actually, everyone can play, as long as they are not afraid of water! Don’t know how to swim? That’s okay, but remember to wear a life jacket.

Both activities have no age limit, whether it’s as young as 5 years old or as old as over 60, everyone can play, but of course, they need to be aware of their own abilities and limitations.

There is no special weight limit. However, girls and people with lighter weight will find it easier to get started. But if you want to play tricks, boys may find it easier to master because tricks require a certain arm and physical strength.

4. What’s the Difference Between Wakeboarding and Wakesurfing?

What’s the difference between the two? Wakeboarding is “trick surfing”. The basic gameplay is to stand on a surfboard with the help of the boat’s traction, use the waves generated by the boat on the water surface to slide and perform various exciting movements, which consumes relatively more energy. (With rope surfing)

Wakesurfing is “ropeless surfing”. It is a combination of wakeboarding and surfing. It uses the turn of the boat and the tilt of the boat to create waves. When the surfer feels the push point, they can step on the waves to slide. As long as the boat keeps running, the waves will not disappear, and the surfer can also make different tricks.

Differences between wakeboarding and wakesurfing? 👉 【Knowledge】Surfing/Wakeboarding/Wakesurfing?

5. Which One is More Suitable for Me? How Should Beginners Choose?

If you are pursuing tricks, you can choose wakesurfing, because it is ropeless and there are no big restrictions on the tricks.

For girls, wakesurfing is also a good choice because wakesurfing requires slower boat speed and no wave chasing, so it consumes less energy and is easier for girls to master. In addition, wakesurfing is generally more popular among girls because the photos taken from ropeless surfing are much more beautiful, making it a must-have for posting on social media!

But if you have tried Skiboard before, we generally recommend trying Wakeboard! Because the principle of Wakeboard is similar to Skiboard, both have fixed shoes on the board, which are tightly connected with the skateboard, and it is relatively easier to get up!

If you are concerned about the price of Wakeboard/Wakesurf, wakesurfing will be relatively more expensive because wakesurfing requires a higher horsepower boat to create waves, which results in a higher fee!

Everyone can choose the surfing experience that suits them according to their own preferences and needs!

6. Is Wakeboarding/Wakesurfing Dangerous?

Every sport has certain risks. When surfing, the body needs to rotate constantly, so it requires high strength, coordination, and balance of the hands, feet, and lumbar muscles, which can easily strain the muscles.

To reduce the chance of injury, you should follow the professional guidance of the coach, maintain correct posture and skills. When surfing, you must also use appropriate protective equipment, warm up sufficiently, and follow safety regulations. The most important thing is to do what you can and not force yourself to try high-difficulty movements.

7. Common Mistakes for Wakesurfing Novices

First, nervousness! Beginners are afraid of falling into the water and keep holding the rope, which makes it more difficult to balance and more likely to fall into the water. Remember to relax. When you relax, it will be easier to master the balance skills and do more tricks. Second, impatience! Beginners usually want to succeed too soon and stand up too early, which will sink the surfboard when the board is not on the water surface. In addition, many people are eager to do jumping movements and turns, but often lose balance and strain their muscles. Third, wrong center of gravity! Beginners tend to put their weight on their buttocks, which will make their bodies sway and cannot slide in a straight line.

Wait for the editor to share some wakesurfing skills with novices and talk about the three steps of surfing.* (The following pictures are from Mastercraft NXT 22

Step 1: First identify your front foot, use your front foot to step on the surfboard, and then hold the handle with your front hand. Place your feet on the edge of the surfboard and start to rise.

Step 2 : After holding the handle, place your feet on the edge of the surfboard, squat on the surfboard, and lean your upper body against your knees to reduce water resistance.

Step 3 : Ready to start surfing. Chest out and stomach in (your usual abdominal exercise comes in handy), avoid leaning too far forward or backward, keep it straight. The boat will start to move forward, and you need to press your legs down and use the force of your heels and soles to support yourself.Dear user, I noticed that the previous output contains information about wakesurfing boats, age limit, differences between wakeboarding and wakesurfing, and tips for beginners. Is there anything else you want me to add or modify? Your recent feedback will be helpful for me to prioritize the revisions. Thank you!

If you can easily complete the above steps, you can smoothly start wakesurfing. You can also challenge yourself to higher difficulty levels by letting go of the handle and enjoying the feeling of the sea freely. The editor was able to put down the handle miraculously for the first time ~~~ High-quality boats make it easy for you to achieve wakesurfing! Once you have practiced enough, you can even play tricks like a coach ~

8. Wakesurfing Lessons

There are relatively few wakesurfing lessons on the market. The watersports courses offered by Blue Sky Sports Club start at HKD2,700 (2 hours), which includes the coach, wakesurfing equipment, life jackets, and wakesurfing speedboats. This is more expensive than renting a wakesurfing speedboat directly. In fact, wakesurfing coaches will carefully guide participants and share wakesurfing techniques with them. If you are a novice, you don’t necessarily have to take a course. You can simply rent a wakesurfing speedboat and practice more to become more proficient!

I hope the above information can help those who are interested in wakeboarding/wakesurfing/watersports. Call your friends and experience the fun of going out to sea together! The editor reminds you: wakesurfing is always very popular and quickly gets fully booked, so be sure to make a reservation as soon as possible on the selected day!
