The new Avalon watercraft combines comfort of a performance pontoon and surfing capabilities of a wakesurf boat.
The boat made its public debut at the Minneapolis Boat Show, January 23-26, 2020, where it was just named a 2020 Innovation Award winner by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. Still classified as a true performance pontoon boat with no monohull, Waketoon offers all of the modern amenities that today’s consumers expect, including a comfortable ride at all speeds, optimal wave handling and ample room for entertaining friends and family. What differentiates this unique craft is a new patent-pending pontoon design with an integrated rocker and shaper along with contoured wake plates to enable desirable waterflow. There is no heavy ballast tank system, which leads to improved overall handling and the elimination of a time-consuming fill-and-drain process. Another distinct feature of Waketoon is the capability for tandem wakesurfing on both sides of the wake, instead of the ability to only surf together on the same side.
