New Tige Convex VX Hull Designed For WakeSurfing

Posted on December 17th, 2012 by | posted in Boats, General

Tige Boats has announced their biggest breakthrough in the world of wakesurfing since the Surf Ballast option became available. Create a pro caliber surf wave using the new Tige Convex VX wave shaping device in conjunction with Tige’s Ballast System. The wakeboard wake will not be affected since the device is not actively changing the wake when the boat is on plane. Truly the best of both worlds.

Similar to Malibu’s Surf Gate this will not displace the boat deeper in the water like ballast. Instead the Convex VX will extend the hull surface creating a smooth path for the water to come off of allowing the wave to form cleaner and longer behind the boat. READ MORE…
