TAPS 3T
Just push 'GO' and TAPS 3T will deliver perfect swells and massive wakes.
Built on years of success, TAPS 3T was engineered with the most effective and forward thinking technology available. TAPS 3T and the natural performance of the Convex V Hull forms the longest, most perfect and powerful surf wave on either side of the boat.
The TAPS 3T exclusive plate designs utilize military grade actuators that withstand over 3 tons of pressure, giving you more reliability than any other surf system on the market. TAPS 3T was tested down to the millimeter so that it will deliver consistent waves, set after set.

TAP INTO VERSATILITY
It all started back in 1995 with the development of the original TAPS (Tige Adjustable Performance System) technology and the Convex V Hull, making Tige the first inboard to give you full wake control and trim capability.
With over 75 years of combined experience in boat design and wake development, Charlie Pigeon, Blake Pigeon, Eddie Gugliemetti and more of TeamTige spent countless hours perfecting the TAPS 3 Surf System. Every component from the Convex V Hull and side surfaces, TAPS, swim platform, Surf + Wake XL Ballast, Raptor Series 6.2L engines, and propellers were evaluated, and then reevaluated. With integrated leading technology working together as one, the TAPS 3T Surf System makes Tige far and away the front-runner in versatility.

FROM OUR HANDS TO YOURS
The greatest progress made is by pushing the status quo, not by conforming to it. The TAPS 3T Surf System went through rigorous testing to provide you with the best possible experience.
