EXPLORE THE COBALT R8 SURF

Powerful and smooth, the R8 features Cobalt's Custom Wave Technology surf system with multiple hard ballast tanks, the Volvo FWD powertrain, and a specifically designed surf hull that integrates with our best-in-class Surf Gate™ technology to shape the perfect wave for a day of excitement on the water.

Cobalt's Surf Series seamlessly integrates Surf Gate™ with a custom-designed surf hull, all powered by Volvo Penta. Nearly all boats in the series employ traditional hard ballast tanks for wave customization. The R31, R33 and R35 Surf models adopt a streamlined design without ballast tanks. This tailored approach ensures agility and simplicity, redefining expectations for surfing enthusiasts across the entire Surf Series.

MONSOON FORWARD DRIVE

Cobalt's Custom Wave Technology begins with the Monsoon FWD powertrain, uniquely engineered with forward-facing Duoprops positioned well under the boat for added safety. The counter-rotating props pull the boat through the water rather than pushing it, resulting in better bite, acceleration, and speed in a more efficient, smooth way, increasing fuel economy. Because the Forward Drive is under the boat, there's less noise and exhaust, meaning more comfort. The adjustment of drive trim is also one of the single biggest factors to quickly adjusting a wave to your liking.

Command Center Options

PREMIUM SPORT DASH™

Driving with the Cobalt Custom Wave Technology couldn't be easier. Just turn on Speed control. This is the "ON and OFF" for your surf system. Select your rider profile and the system automatically configures the boat per the pre-saved profile setting—ballast, drive trim, speed, surf left or surf right. Cobalt is set up with two starter profiles: Mellow and Steep. These will give you a starting point for setting up your wave. Then when the surfer is ready, put the throttle down and the boat automatically adjusts to the profile surf settings and speed. With a touch of the surf button on the dual Garmin Glass Cockpit touchscreen, the driver can switch the surf wave from right to left, even while underway.
