Volvo Penta Now Offers Joystick Surfing

Volvo Penta unveiled a new Joystick Surfing solution that integrates with Watersports Control displays in wake boats equipped with Volvo Penta’s Twin Forward Drive. The solution builds on Volvo Penta’s Joystick Driving feature, offering enhanced functionality for the perfect surf experience.

“Joystick Surfing combines a range of innovations to ensure a comfortable and relaxing boating experience for the entire journey – whether you are crushing the waves on your board or launching through them while savoring the view,” says Jens Bering, vice president of marine sales for Volvo Penta North America. “By removing complexities and expanding user capabilities, this new solution is designed to make maneuvering a wake boat more effortless and enjoyable than ever.”

The system works with Watersports Control displays to offer new functionality, allowing captains to select the preferred surf profile and activate the joystick to begin cruising, allowing full control of the boat with precise, single-handed maneuvering.

“Joystick Surfing is perfect for modern, tech-savvy boaters who thrive while operating intuitive and easy-to-use systems,” adds Bering. “Catered to help meet evolving, user-centric industry demands, this cutting-edge technology sets a new standard for the design of innovative and versatile helm stations that are transforming the watersports market.”
