Claim Text:
1. A surf wake system for modifying a wake having a port wave and a starboard wave that eventually diverge formed by a watercraft travelling through water at speeds suitable for surfing to enhance said starboard wave by forming a face substantially smoother than a face of the port wave or to enhance said port wave by forming a face substantially smoother than a face of the starboard wave, the surf wake system comprising: at least one water diverter configured to mount to the watercraft having a hull that includes a transom, a port side of the hull, and a starboard side of the hull, the at least one water diverter configured to mount to the port side of the hull or the starboard side of the hull such that the at least one water diverter deflects water traveling along the hull of the watercraft and past the transom; wherein positioning the at least one water diverter on the port side of the hull to deflect water traveling along the port side of the hull and past the transom delays convergence of a port side flow of water with a starboard side flow of water to enhance said starboard wave to have a surfable face that is substantially smoother than a face of the port wave, and wherein positioning the at least one water diverter on the starboard side of the hull to deflect water traveling along the starboard side of the hull and past the transom delays convergence of the starboard side flow of water with the port side flow of water to enhance said port wave to have a surfable face that is substantially smoother than a face of the starboard wave.
