How Does a Wake Shaper Work?
A wake shaper is a device attached to the side of a boat to create a larger and more defined wake for wakesurfing.
The wake shaper redirects the water flow around the boat, creating a larger and more powerful wave. This, in turn, makes it easier for riders to catch and ride the wave. Click here to learn more about the nuts and bolts of a wake shaper.
How to Pick the Best Wake Shaper for Wakesurfing
When choosing the best wake shaper, there are several factors to consider. These include compatibility, wave size, skill level, and style.
Compatibility
When discussing compatibility, we are referring to whether the wake shaper is suitable for use with your boat. Not all wake shapers are compatible with all boats, as they must be attached in a specific way to create the desired wake shape.
At WAKE 10, each wake shaper attaches via suction cups. The suction cups enable you to choose where and how you position the wake shaper. The wake shaper is not compatible with all boats, so it's important to check the specifications of both your boat and the wake shaper before making a purchase.
Using an incompatible wake shaper can not only result in a suboptimal wake shape but also potentially damage your boat. It's crucial to consider compatibility when choosing a wake shaper to ensure that it will be worth your investment and provide the results you’re looking for.
WAKE 10’s wake shapers are compatible with most inboard boats. Additionally, the WAKE 10 Wakesurf Creator X4 Pro is also compatible with MasterCraft X Series, MasterCraft MariStar, and Sanger V Series boats.
Wave Size
Wave size refers to the size and shape of the wave that the wake shaper creates. The wave size is an important factor to consider when choosing a wake shaper because it affects your performance as a rider.
A larger wave can provide more speed and air for tricks, while a smaller wave is better suited for beginners or those who prefer a more mellow ride. The size of the wave is determined by various factors, including:
At WAKE 10, our wake shapers can create both a larger and taller wave, as well as a longer and shorter wave, by simply adjusting the position & angle of the wake shaper on your boat. Adding one of these devices to your boat setup will enhance your surfing experience.

Skill Level
In the context of wakesurfing, skill level refers to the rider's proficiency. Different wake shapers may be more suitable for certain skill levels because they create different types of waves. For example, more advanced wake shapers can create a bigger, steeper wave better suited for experienced riders comfortable with high speeds and big air.
In contrast, a more mellow wave created by a beginner-friendly wake shaper may be more appropriate for someone new to the sport or still developing their skills.
At WAKE 10, we design our wake shapers for all skill levels. By simply adjusting the position of the wake shaper on your boat, you can easily dial in the perfect wave for your skill level. Whether you are just beginning or have been surfing for years, either one of our shapers will work perfectly.
