The present invention relates to a boat-activated wake enhancement method an d system that extends from the boat. According to one aspect, a pair of protuberances is provided on the lower stern quarter of the boat's hull, primarily along the sidewalls. The protuberances are elongated and each has a rounded surface that extends substantially laterall y outward in relation to the boat hull. The protuberances help to displace more water by increasin g and shifting the effective width of the boat, causing the boat to travel deeper in the water, and creating additional interference that affects the natural wakes created by the boat. Additional inverted hydrofoil members and ballasts can also be provided to cause the boat to travel deeper in the water and therefore create larger waves. The present invention is used to increase the size and enhance the shape and location of the wake and/or waves for wakeboarding and wake surfin g. |
