This summer, Varatti Boats and Norris Lake Boat Store are teaming up for Thirsty Thursdays. This is your weekly shot at free wake surf demos on one of East Tennessee’s premier lakes. Norris Lake has the full-lineup of 2025 Varatti Wake Surf Boats including the Z2272, Z2373, and the Z2474 flagship wake surf boat.
Event Overview
Starting June 5, 2025, join us every Thursday from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM at Twin Cove Resort & Marina for laid-back demo rides aboard the Varatti Z2373. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or curious first-timer, just come on out as we have the boards, waves, fuel and the wake surfing machines!
Why Ride the Z2373?
Innovative Hull Design
The Z-series precision-engineered hull shapes the cleanest, most powerful waves on Norris Lake. Massive waves, tons of push and tons of fun!
Varatti Surf System™
Designed, engineered, and proven to throw barrells with the tap of the Varatti Vision System. The VSS (Varatti Surf System™) is our secret sauce to complement the Z-Series wake surf hull and you can only experience it in Tennessee with Norris Lake Boat Store.
Varatti Pilot Pro System™
Exclusive to Varatti, our joystick controlled operation delivers the safest, easiest towboat you’ll ever experience. It will completely change how you pick up fallen wake surfers, dock the boat, and load and launch on a trailer. This system you can only experience in a Varatti that integrates a bow thruster, stern thruster, and the engine drive, all in concert working together via joystick.
