Big wakes are good for kayak surf'n. Three of the biggest wake-makers are the Marine Patrol 41' former Coast Guard launch that has no name, and the tour boats, the Sophie C., and Doris E. Surprisingly, the 220' Mount Washington leaves a pretty dull wake.
Paddle along at about the same speed as an oncoming wake and let the wave crest catch up to your kayak, then try to position on the downside of the wave crest.
Am I the only one who appreciates the big wakes?
