If you already a convertable drive for the couple grand swap it out because surfings much less tolling on the body than Wakeboarding.

I'd be a liar if I said I've never surfed behind my previous I/O but it's honestly not worth it.

The new forward drives are cool and I expect to see them being retrofitted for people who want to surf but don't want a surf boat.. But two things, surf boats are built to handle serious chop, are heavy and you will never get as good of a wave with out a V drive inboard..
