Is there any way to reduce the amount of exhaust fumes blown into the rider's face during wakesurfing? Before our AR195 we had only surfed behind a Nautique with a Fresh Air Exhaust pipe that reduced fumes to basically zero. We just started surfing behind our 2019 AR195 and surprised how bad it is. Haven't had anyone get sick or too bad of a headache, but I'm not used to seeing riders in the smoke.

Unfortunately no there isn't anything available for our yamaha boats. They aren't dedicated Surf boats so this isn't a feature for yamaha. You could probably have something fabricated though coming out your exhaust like a fresh air pipe

Interesting idea. The axis surf pipe seems to work in a similar manner as the fresh air exhaust. Simple solutions to reduce fumes and noise which issues we’d all prefer to disappear! Unfortunately there is not a lot of room between the jet pump and exhaust on a Yamaha 19_ for a bent pvc or stainless tube. I’m sure lots of members would gladly pay $$$ for someone to fix these problems just like the steering and wake issues.
