MasterCraft unveils Gen2 Surf System
MasterCraft Unveils Gen 2 Surf System
Vonore, TN—- MasterCraft Boat Company unveils the next generation in surf systems,
simply called the Gen 2 Surf System. In 2009 MasterCraft introduced the first ever wake-shaping
device called Surf Tabs and won the coveted NMMA Innovation Award in 2010 for this invention.
In the four short years following the introduction of Surf Tabs, wakesurfing has seen
unprecedented growth. As a result, MasterCraft began work on its next evolution of surf
technology several months ago and today is proud to announce the arrival of the Gen 2 Surf
System.
When MasterCraft set out to develop the Gen 2 Surf System, it took note of what was
already available and how they could improve on what were great leaps forward in wakesurfing.
First up, MasterCraft believed it was essential to have a consistent wave on both sides that had
constant push five feet back AND thirty feet back. Second, this constant, stable wave had to be
achieved on both sides without the need to shift weight or people. And finally, it all had to be
operated with a simple push of a button. With the Gen 2 Surf System, MasterCraft has
accomplished all their goals.

Rallee Chupich, director of service and restaurant operations at Gordy’s Lakefront Marine in Wisconsin, was named the 28th recipient of the Darlene Briggs Woman of the Year award at the 2013 Marine Dealer Conference & Expo, held November 17-20 in Orlando, Fla. The award is presented annually to an outstanding woman who is actively involved in the marine industry at any level and recognizes long and devoted service, untiring commitment and the advancement of women in the marine business.
As part of the second generation of a family business operating since 1955, Chupich and her three siblings grew up on the water, helping their parents and working on the piers. She officially joined the business as a teenager 30 years ago, and the family is now grooming its third generation to take over the business some day in the future.
Chupich is the smiling face of one of the country’s most successful marine operations that has evolved significantly since adding boat sales to the roster more than 15 years ago. With an insatiable drive, never-ending sense of urgency and background as an educator, she has become one of the industry’s most powerful women and a role model for anybody looking to get ahead by hard work and force of character.
