The present invention is primarily a boat activated wave generator that can be operated in a deep body of water. The wave generator is pulled or otherwise pushed through the water, and has wave generating portions that scoop up water, to form wave shapes thereon, upon which various surfing and skimming maneuvers can be performed. The shape of the wave generator is such that it forms wave shapes, and various wave formations, and remains in substantial equilibrium in the water. The wave generator also forms wakes, and enhances the boat's wake, such that various skimming maneuvers, i.e., wake-boarding and water skiing can be performed.

[ What is claimed:] [1.] A device which can be mounted on or otherwise extended from the side of a boat hull, comprising:two substantially longitudinally oriented members extending substantially laterally outward from the side of the boat hull, along substantially the middle and/or back half thereof

[ What is claimed:] [1.] A device which can be mounted on or otherwise extended from the side of a boat hull, comprising:two substantially longitudinally oriented members extending substantially laterally outward from the side of the boat hull, along substantially the middle and/or back half thereof, wherein each of said members comprises:a forward leading portion;a substantially curved flow forming portion extending rearward from said leading portion; andwherein the leading portion is positioned below the water surface such that, as the boat moves through the water, the leading portion helps to lift water upward and onto said flow forming portion, causing water to be displaced laterally outward and upward, such that various wave and/or wake effects are created thereby.
