Abstract:
An adjustable surf wake system enhances a wake formed by a watercraft travelling through water. The system may include a flap for deflecting water traveling past the stern of the watercraft, and/or a positioner operably connected to the flap for positioning the flap relative to a longitudinal axis of the watercraft between a neutral position and an outward position. Positioning a port flap in its extended position enhances a starboard surf wake, and positioning the starboard flap in its extended position enhances a port surf wake. A wake modifying system for modifying a wake produced by a watercraft traveling through water may include a rudder pivotally mounted to the watercraft for steering the watercraft, a fin pivotally mounted to the watercraft substantially along a centerline of the watercraft and forward the rudder, wherein the fin pivots about an upright axis to modify the wake produced by the watercraft traveling through the water, an actuator mounted within the watercraft and operably coupled to the fin for pivoting the fin relative to the centerline, and a controller mounted on the watercraft allowing an operator to control the actuator and selectively pivot the fin to a desired angle θd relative to the centerline.

Claim (Index 43):
A wake surf system for use with a water-sports boat that is configured to produce a wake having a port-side wave and a starboard-side wave to facilitate user-controlled selection of which side of the wake to enhance for wake surfing, the wake surf system comprising:\n a port-side deflector movable between a neutral position and a deployed position, wherein the port-side deflector comprises a generally horizontal portion and a down-turned portion extending downward from a side of the generally horizontal portion; a port-side electronic actuator configured to move the port-side deflector between the neutral position and the deployed position; a starboard-side deflector movable between a neutral position and a deployed position, wherein the starboard-side deflector comprises a generally horizontal portion and an down-turned portion extending downward from a side of the generally horizontal portion; a starboard-side electronic actuator configured to move the starboard-side deflector between the neutral position and the deployed position; a user interface configured to receive user input comprising a selection of a port-side surf mode and a selection of a starboard-side surf mode; wherein, in response to the selection of the port-side surf mode the port-side actuator and the starboard-side actuator are configured to position the port-side deflector and the starboard-side deflector in a port-side surf configuration that is configured to enhance port-side wake surfing by at least causing the port-side wave to be smoother than the starboard-side wave; wherein, in response to the selection of the starboard-side surf mode the port-side actuator and the starboard-side actuator are configured to position the port-side deflector and the starboard-side deflector in a starboard-side surf configuration that is configured to enhance starboard-side wake surfing by at least causing the starboard-side wave to be smoother than the port-side wave.
