Here are a few things you may not have known about wakesurfing, as well as how you can get FREE lessons! DID YOU KNOW... A trained surfer can hold his breath for about four minutes while the static apnea record holder does it for more than 11 minutes. Surfers only spend 8% of the time riding waves.
