Our 2017 Heyday WT-1 wakesurf boat is the perfect boat for wakesurfing and wakeboarding! We DELIVER to any Lake in Georgia. It fits 9 people and has a bimini shade top as well as board racks with a large foam surfboard, one smaller fiberglass board and a Liquid Force beginners' hydrofoil board! An inflatable toy toy for 2 people can also be included for an added fee. Life jackets are included with sizes ranging from medium to XL. Everything on the boat works including the tower boombox which connects via bluetooth. We don't have a wakeboard but you are welcome to bring your own board and rope if that is your style. Our family enjoys wakesurfing more because it's easier and safer. Most people can get up on their first or 2nd try.
If you prefer the convenience of delivery and pickup, we can arrange that for a cost of $4 per mile (round-trip), starting from Blue Springs Marina near Buckhead. We can deliver to Lake Lanier, Lake Hartwell, Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair.
Captain's notes:
Stay away from shallow areas (5ft minimum depth when idling, 15ft-20 minimum for surfing), and at least 150ft from shore when making a wake. The prop can be easily damaged by underwater tree stumps so also be sure to check out an online depth / fishing map to stay away from those areas. We also have a depth meter on board which reads in meters (1m=3.3ft) which you can drop in the water and connect to the USB charger at the bottom right of the boat.
All your lifevests, emergency gear, anchor, ropes, spare gas can, and inflatable toy are all kept in the front compartment. Twist the handle 180 degrees to open. To use the sound bar, flip the switch up next to the ignition and then press and hold the power button on the tower bar to turn it on, then press the bluetooth button to connect. It's called WT-Stealth.
Ballast switches don't have an auto shutoff feature, so please don't let them run longer than 10 minutes. They will make a louder noise when they are empty and can burn up after a minutes of being run dry. They cost $50 to replace if they burn out. The ballast switch is off in the center position. Up is to fill, down is to empty. You'll want to weigh down whichever side the rider is on and keep the other side empty. if you have less than 4 people, you can try filling the non-surf-side ballast about halfway if you need a bigger wave.
I use the little black water bins as movable ballasts as well. I keep them at the front of the boat to help trim it down and stack them on one side or the other depending on which side the rider is on. U can also play around with seating to tilt / list the boat even further to the side the rider is on which helps shape the wave and make it bigger on that side. In compliance with Georgia regulations, we offer a boater education course for anyone born on or after January 1, 1998, who aims to operate a motorized vessel on the state's waters.
We also have suction-cup wake shapers you can attach to the non-surf-side of the boat as far down and back as you can get them. Don't go over 11mph when using them and make sure the one without a floatie is attached to a docking cleat. If they either of them are lost, they cost $250 to replace.
Hydrofoiling can be a bit tricky. I learned the best way is to angle the board away from the boat and try to get to the side right away, leaning back and to the side. Stay away from the wake until you can stay balanced. Always try to jump away from the board because if it hits you it can injure you. Go slower than you would for wakesurfing. No ballast is needed.
