Convex V Hull
Tige's hull design that, combined with TAPS, enables full trim adjustment and is engineered specifically to produce a long, clean wakesurf wave.
Recreation
Convex V Hull is a term from limnology — the scientific study of inland waters. The detailed explanation below covers the definition, why the concept matters to lake water-quality interpretation, and how it relates to the A–F grade. Reading Convex V Hull alongside the A–F grade makes the grade easier to follow — each graded parameter maps onto an established limnological concept.
The per-lake pages on LakeQuality always show the specific Convex V Hull value for that lake, so you can move from the general concept to the specific lake without leaving the site.
What It Means for Your Lake
The Convex V Hull is the foundational running surface on Tige wakesurf boats. Its convex profile, paired with the TAPS trim system, gives the boat full trim capability so the driver can adjust the boat's attitude to shape the surf wave. The hull is widely credited with helping Tige become one of the most decorated wakesurf boat brands. The hull works in concert with the Convex VX swim-platform extension, whose center tunnel channels propeller-driven water downward into the wave to boost its size, volume, and density.
