Wake Surfing-Jackson Lake-Grand Teton National Park








WAKE SURFING! I've never seen it before! I didn't try it either, but maybe next time I will!
How it works: Put all of the weight in the boat on one side of the boat to create a larger wake ( giant water bags were used along with everyone sitting on one side). Start out like water skiing--In the water, with a rope. Position the wide looking surfboard on your feet in the water-- The boat hits the gas, the person gets pulled into the wake by holding onto the rope--then they LET GO of the rope when they find the "sweet spot" in the wake. They also had to wear wet suits due to the water temperature being so cold. Remember, this lake was frozen all winter.
