So, I know that wakesurfing has been around since the 50's with people surfing outboards on actual surfboards.
But I'm trying to remember when wakesurfing as we know it, behind the modern day v-drive wakeboards came onto the scene.
I believe that I first tried wakesurfing in 2003. It was the year that they released the MB sports B52 V3 with about 2k of factory ballast. Back then, no one had even heard of this and the only reason I found out about it is because I had the local boat dealer give me a demo of a new boat. (yeah, it was a joyride as I couldn't afford to throw down and actually buy the boat).
I did it a few times afterwards in 2007 and 2009. But I'm pretty sure my first time was back around 2003.
What do you all remember about the start of Wakesurfing as we know it?
