Abstract

See full text

A device to redirect a wake of a watercraft, and a method of use are disclosed. The device includes a main body panel which extends into a flow of water as the watercraft travels through the water, and at least one suction cup which provides connection between the main body panel and a hull of the watercraft. The device changes the shape of the wake by diverting the flow of water in a different direction, and may be used to produce a wake suitable for wake surfing. The device may include at least one vacuum pump in fluid communication with the at least one suction cup, and at least one release actuator for selectively releasing a vacuum generated between the at least one suction cup and the hull of the watercraft by the vacuum pump.
