Varatti Z2474 Wake Surf Review on Deer Creek Reservoir with Brandon Tollie

Posted on July 10, 2025 by Todd Gaughan

Brandon Tollie Reviews the Varatti Z2474 Wake Surf Boat on Deer Creek Reservoir

Brandon Tollie, a world-traveled wake surfer and longtime voice of the World Wake Surfing Championship, recently tested the Varatti Z2474. The shoot took place on Deer Creek Reservoir, just outside Salt Lake City, Utah,right in the heart of one of the biggest wake surfing markets in the country. Tollie’s breakdown goes beyond hype, putting real-world surf systems and performance to the test.

A Real Wake Review from a Rider Who Knows

Brandon Tollie wasn’t a dealer walkthrough or a spec sheet read-off. Tollie has announced for the biggest wakesurf competitions in the world. His review of the Z2474 is based on years of watching, riding, and judging wake performance from the best in the sport. From the wave behind the boat to the ease of operation at the helm, he calls it like it is.

Performance Tech You Can Feel on the Water

The Varatti Z2474 isn’t just a surf boat—it’s a tech-forward machine engineered for consistent waves, intuitive control, and pro-level function. Tollie specifically pointed out the power of the Mercury® MerCruiser® engine, the clean wave from the Varatti Surf System™ (VSS), and the ease of use from the No Throw Surf System.

This test boat also featured lighting by Liquid Lumens®, a go-to for riders who surf past sunset and want their wake boat fully decked out. Underwater LEDs, Tower, Speakers, Cupholders, Badging, accents – everything illuminated in wake is Liquid Lumens.
