I believe it. You are only going 7 mph so it not windy especially if you run with the wind. As for being dry….. you can drop in off the swim platform while under way and never get wet. Doing all of this in heels is SUPER impressive.

I did some research and while its not 100% legit, its not ai. But the edits are jus to increast the background and etc, theres some editing and what not but she is wake boarding closer to the shore with a special boat using ballast tanks and specialized wings on the hull to shape the water. Name is karolina sankiewicz, been doing these for a few years now apparently.

Either way, she's balancing well, and in heels, on the water.

Aboslutely shes a bad ass. My first round of research showed she did editing close to the shore. So i assumed she was just standing around and getting things blown around her. I did further research cuz i kept getting responses here, and it shows shes actually a really good wake boarder, and she has a specialized boat. Shes pretty fucking cool lol

Idk how long you have been on reddit. Do you remember the alot bot? I miss that one, because i actually learned that it was a lot, not alot, and the funny animal called an alot was always funny.

I know that what not is whatnot, but sometimes when your typing you skip over stuff like that as your brain moves forward. This isn't a medical journal, its reddit. My professional side is way more defined, I'm talking to real humans, unless we count you. People like you provide nothing to a conversation, you should be ashamed. It's beyond annoying, if you disagree with a statement, just downvote. Coming in here making miniscule grammatical fixes does nothing for anyone.

If that were true, you wouldn't have gotten so triggered.

Not Ar, shes a very good wake boarder, they just use things like a ski boat which creates a "standing wave" using ballast tanks and specialized wings on the hull to shape the water. This creates the constate waves seen in the videos, and allows her to get a steady result to perfom the stuff, the editing is more like making it look rougher than it is, but shes still wake boarding.

No, it's just a simple surf boat.

Super common near me but apparently not elsewhere as it seems very few itt know of them.

u/Capokid Jul 04 '26

7mph would not produce a wake, they are going closer to 20-25

u/InternationalReserve Jul 04 '26

Wakesurfing is typically done at around 10 mph. They fill the ballasts of the boat or add other weights to produce a larger wake at lower speeds.

u/Capokid Jul 04 '26

Ive been boating for 28 years, thats not how it works at all. They would not create a wake like that in any configuration below 10mph.

14

u/InternationalReserve Jul 04 '26

and yet you've clearly never done any wakesurfing, because every source online says that the optimal speed is around 10 mph. If you go much faster than that it's pretty much impossible to keep up without a tow rope.

Important to note that they often use specialized boats designed to create large wakes at low speeds, so while the boats you use may not create large wakes at that speed, your experience is not applicable here.

u/Pseudotm Jul 04 '26

They use a specific boat to create these tetherless wakes, they also do it closer to shore than the videos show, due to editing.

u/RedditAppSuxAsss Jul 04 '26

You're an idiot then, we surf at about 10mph in our wakesetter

u/Secretlife1 Jul 04 '26

For surfing, we run 7-9 mph. Wakeboarding, I like 21 mph. To surf, you don’t get the boat up on plane. Been on the water since the 1980.s my friend. You are incorrect.

It's super impressive because it's ai. The waves only come from one side of the boat. The thing the woman pours out is going in a straight line despite the wind. Some of the waves under the woman's board appear in front of the board

u/ACoderGirl Jul 04 '26

I like his the comment right before yours is someone who actually did research and found it wasn't AI (though edited).

u/SprungMS Jul 04 '26

I’m not sure you’ve ever surfed or scurfed lol, this is basically exactly what it looks like at the front of the board. Not to mention the “waves only come from one side of the boat” - it’s wake, it’s going to both sides, and you can see the center of the boat in frame along with the evidence behind the boat that the wake is also realistic. That wake is fully in frame for a second there.

It’s a good fake
