Abstract:
1. An inboard water-sports boat comprising: a hull having a transom, the hull housing an engine configured to propel the hull through water to produce a wake having eventually diverging port and starboard waves; a ballast system configured to add and remove water ballast; a rudder responsive to a steering mechanism to steer the inboard water-sports boat as the hull moves through water; a surf system configurable by an operator purposefully selecting which of the port wave and the starboard wave to enhance to improve surfing thereon, the surf system comprising: wherein when a rider desires to surf on the port wave, the surf system is configured to enhance the port wave to have a face that is substantially smoother than a face of the starboard wave by positioning the starboard-side deployable element and the port-side deployable element in a first configuration, and wherein when the rider desires to surf on the starboard wave, the surf system is configured to enhance the starboard wave to have a face that is substantially smoother than a face of the port wave by positioning the starboard-side deployable element and the port-side deployable element in a second configuration.
