Our Ski Nautique 2001/1987 was not born as wakesurf. But even a small, smooth wave can be fun. So I built a wake shaper myself. In fact, I built three of them. The first two have perished.
- Version 1.0 > rope not well fixed - Version 2.0 > went over 40mph (stupid I) - Version 2.1 > still alive You might also build your own wake shaper. It's fun, inexpensive and will do it's job for an old waterski lady. Here is what you need: - Cutting board (ca. 30x40cm) - Vaccum lifting pad (two suction, about 60kg suction power) - Rope to fix the wake shaper - 1m pipe isolation as floater - 8 srews with screw nuts and washers - 2 turnbuckles - 2 rope clips - 2 hinges - 1 plastic hook (to fix on the boat) I have not made a construction video. So you must use your construction imagination to build you own wake shaper. Take note of my pictures. I also took over some ideas from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC2SfqWTc3w |

Any pictures of the wave and how much weight and where.
From your avatar it's looking pretty weighted down. |
