Best Wakesurf Boat under 20k A lot of you might not have heard of Heyday Inboards yet — the company has been keeping a low profile until they were fully ready to launch. Early iterations were called the Wake Tractor; now, about four dozen different hull tweaks later, the first model for Heyday Inboards is called the WT-1. The company designed it to be a wake generator with just enough features that it doesn’t feel stripped down, offering an unprecedented level of accessibility for the inboard buyer. The surf wave follows suit. There’s no surf system, so you’re throwing your stringer-flooding internal ballast and your friends on whatever side you want to surf. For a boat with an LOA shorter than most slalom boats, though, you still get a respectable wave. Sure, you’re not looking at a hip-high wall of water, but the wave has a lot more push than you would expect for a boat this size. This push is really the wave’s saving grace because, at first glance, you don’t expect the WT-1 to displace enough water to really provide adequate drive for a 190-pound guy on a skimboard (which was how we tested it). You’ll soon start to trust it and drop farther and farther back. Best Wakesurf Boat under 20k
