Tow-in surfing is a surfing technique where a surfer is towed into a breaking wave by a partner driving a motorised watercraft or helicopter with an attached tow-line. Pioneered by Laird Hamilton, Buzzy Kerbox, Dave Kalama and others in the late 1990s, tow-in surfing proved advantageous in situations where the wave is too large and moving too quickly for the surfer to catch it by paddling with his arms or where position on the wave is extremely critical.

  • Tow-in surfing is a surfing technique where a surfer is towed into a breaking wave by a partner driving a motorised watercraft or helicopter with an attached tow-line.

The use of a helicopter has several advantages over personal watercraft. Positioned high above the surfer, the pilot is better able to see waves approaching and to position the surfer accordingly. Additionally, a helicopter can go faster, and is not affected by the ocean surface like a watercraft.
