Hi, my son's birthday is this week and today he is getting a 5'6" Grind Water Mauka surfboard. We are going to try to build a nice wave behind our 2001 Outback LS this weekend. Never done it before. I'm sure we can get him up and going easy enough on that big board as light as he is, but it might be more difficult when it's Dad's turn. Any tips?
This should be the same boat as any 2001-2005 Outback LS or Mobius LS. I have 5 flyhigh sacs. One that is I think a 360 or so pound sac I normally keep in the ski locker; and then 4 400 pound v drive sacs. I'd love your suggestions on placement.
My first guess would be to fill the ski locker sac completely in the ski locker; take 1 400 pound v drive sac and put it next to the engine compartment in the floor and pushed toward the back as far is will go; take another one and put it horizontal on the same side behind the engine compartment (forming an 800 pound L); take one and fill it as far as it will fill under the rear bench seat on teh same side (will only probably fill about 1/2 to 2/3rds there); and take the final one and fill it - but only about halfway or so - int eh rear ski locker (I've heard that floor is not strong and there is a gas tank under there so not to stress it too much but I'm thinking that 200 pounds or so spread over 48 inches should not be a problem. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
