Publication number: 20230278668Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Daniel Lee Gasper, Adam Andrew McCall, Timothy Michael Lopes, Bryan Walter Munday, Wayne Richard Wilson, Rachael Marie Green

Publication number: 20220075363Abstract: An adjustable surf wake system can enhance a wake formed by a watercraft travelling through water. A rider control device can enable a rider to control the wake of the watercraft while riding the wake, such as for wake surfing. The rider can adjust the speed of the watercraft, can adjust the height of the wake, and/or can change the watercraft between a surf-left configuration and a surf-right configuration. The rider control device can include a position sensor. A drone can position a camera based on the position sensor of the rider control device for filming the rider.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Rachael Marie Green, Cory Wade Dugger, Jackie Dale Springer, Jr., Adam Andrew McCall, Daniel Lee Gasper

Patent number: 10179628Abstract: A watercraft can include a foil configured for movement between an undeployed position and a first deployed position in which the foil raises the relative position of the watercraft relative to the water line as the watercraft moves forward through the water, thereby facilitating planing of the watercraft. The foil can be configured for movement to a second deployed position in which the foil lowers the relative position of the stern end of the watercraft as the watercraft moves forward through the water, thereby modifying the wake produced by the watercraft.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Malibu Boats, LLCInventors: Daniel Lee Gasper, Timothy Michael Lopes, Bryan Walter Munday
