Wakesurfing systems and methods

Abstract

Many embodiments described herein prevent damage to a surf rope and/or watercraft due to a surf rope remaining in the water after it is released by a wakesurfer. The wakesurfing system may include a first and second reel assembly arranged and configured to retract a discarded surf rope. The first reel assembly may have a telescoping and rotatable boom and may be coupled to a side of the watercraft. The second reel assembly may be coupled to a tower, pylon, or ski hook of the watercraft. The first reel assembly may have a first cord reel coupled to a handle of the surf rope, and the second reel assembly may have a second cord reel coupled to a proximal location of the surf rope. The first and second cord reels, and the surf rope, may be in a retracted position when not in use, and in an extended position when used by a wakesurfer.
