Centurion digs new Wake Surfing lake adjacent to the factory

 

Merced, CA JUNE 20, 2014; Centurion Boats recently dug a new
wider and deeper test lake adjacent to their Merced, California factory.
The Lake Centurion project is a half-million dollar investment in the
company’s wake surfing future. Centurion, the worldwide leader in
watersports wake development, invested in the test lake to maintain its
leadership in the development of wake enhancing technology for wake
surfing and wake boarding.

Centurion created the wake surfing movement in 1995 when it introduced
the first wake surfing towboat called The Wave. Now, due to slower
speeds and less demand on the body, the pastime is hugely popular and is
the number one activity among new watersports towboat buyers. To
maintain its leadership in the development of wake enhancing technology,
Centurion ordered the lake improvement, including deepening it by eight
feet, to give researchers the opportunity to immediately test new
technologies such as the all new CATS system. The deeper lake better
simulates real-world conditions where towboats are commonly used.

Les Clark Vice President of Manufacturing said, “Wake surfing has been
at the epicenter of our culture for more nearly 20 years. We are into
wake surfing so much that we built a lake specifically for testing the
new technologies that we have coming soon! Now our R&D team will be
able to go from design to concept and test it immediately. Coupled
with the recent industry leading sales news, it’s an exciting time to be
in the marine industry and especially at Centurion.“

According to the NMMA, growth in sales of inboard powered watersports
towboats are currently leading the boating industry ahead of all other
propulsion and use categories. In the first quarter of 2014, Centurion
recorded the highest percent increase in year-over-year sales among all
towboat manufacturers. Lake Centurion is the latest tool in the arsenal
that Centurion engineers use to produce more innovative and build
better boats.
