WakeRX is another one for your list. Blue Water Ocean shaper legend Jeff "Doc" Lausch is beginning to make some of the sickest wake specific boards. Josh Kerr has video along with Courtney Conlogue, in addition to #instagrom ranked #3 in juniors has video behind the MC X10 on some of Docs protos. I have a board in production with Jeff and WakeRX now, should be here in a couple weeks.
It is not a big part of their business nor will it likely ever be. RP has made boards (surfboards) under the Rusty label for decades, and prior to that a short lived label 'music' in Australia and G&S, amongst others. Rusty was a big part of the first 'wakesurf championship', many years ago.
Like most larger surf companies, the boards a really just short fat surfboards or fall into the waveskate genera, which some people incorrectly attribute to Tomo.
Look up Skof. You will likely only find Clint P's facebook page. Since, that time, Clint has become a full time shaper at Rusty, and has a number of pros and other orders to deal with, so it is unlikely you will see a push into the wakesurf world unless it becomes a real industry.
Rusty has wakesurfers? They have had surfboards for years, but I didn't see anything on their site. I sent them an email a few weeks back, but with no reply. If you happen to have a link to any Rusty wakesurfers please share. Thanks.
Off topic - I wish LibTech would make a wakesurf board.....
Prototypes are out there on the DL.

This is what makes this fun... there are constantly newcomers coming to the market with boards... I look forward to hearing about WABoating bro in law's stuff and Rusty... I saw a picture of the Rusty protype boards the other day at some boat show... keep the list coming. Thanks!
There will be a new one soon. My brother in law works for a surfboard manufacturer in California and they are starting to prototype a wakesurf board. Given our boat and its wake, there's a good chance we'll have one of those to play with. They are actually an exotic materials manufacturer that found surfboards were a good application for their product, and they see wakesurfing as another option for expansion. I'll report what I can, when I can (while honoring confidentiality, of course).
I am doing a project and trying to compile all of the wakesurf board makers out there... there are a lot of them I am not aware of so I wanted to solicit your help to see how many we can come up with... I will start with the general list I have so far:
