What Is a Wake Maker?
A wake maker, also known as a Wake Shaper, is a device that attaches to the side of your boat to form the wake it creates. Most wake makers for a boat are shaped like a wedge to redirect the water flow, creating a more defined, smoother, and more expansive wake.
At WAKE 10, our Wake Shapers attach via suction cups. Once you determine where to place the device, flip the latches down, and the wake maker will be ready to go.
How to Use a Wake Maker for Boats
Using a wake maker is easy and almost effortless. Here's how to do it:
- Determine which side of your boat you want to create the wake on.
- Attach the wake maker on the opposite side of your boat using the suction cups.
- Adjust the wake maker to the desired angle and position.
- Take a test ride and adjust the wake maker to create the perfect wake.
Tips for Using a Wake Maker
Here are some pointers to keep in mind when using a wake maker:
Check the Security
Before hitting the water, ensure the wake maker is securely attached to the boat. WAKE 10's Wake Shapers include floating lanyards, so you don't lose the device while on the water. Ensuring your device is secured properly is essential to prevent the wake maker from falling off.
Experiment
Experiment and play around with different angles and positions to find the best spot for creating the perfect wake. Try out different positions and determine which one creates the best wake for you.
Using Suction Cup Wake Makers for Boats
When using a suction cup wake maker, ensure that the surface of your boat is clean and dry before attaching it. If the area isn't completely flat, has raised decals, or is unclean, the suction cups may have difficulty creating a perfect seal.
Always make sure your wake maker is locked in and ready before attempting to Wakesurf.
