With 1250lbs of lead and learning how to dial her when your rider is back there is starting to make sense to me. Heres my buddy who is 255lbs rippin.

I probably missed it, but are you just using lead on top of stock ballast? Where are you putting it? I may be getting a 2020 Makai.

Lol that's not me. It's my buddy who likes riding a smaller board. I do the same thing with snowboarding. The lead moves depending on a few things. For that video we had 450 non surf side, 600 surf side (basically just stacked begins the rear bags) and 200 in the floor of the bow. When we have less people on board another 100 to the surf side from the bow. The setup you see with the goofy wave was me experimenting. Had 2 people on board, 200 lbs on bow floor, 550 on surf side, 500 non surf side. Wake plate was at 35 and surf plate at 75. My skill is the only thing holding me back.

Way too much wake plate. It’s counteracting all that extra ballast

Nah we like the wave a bit less steep and a bit longer. Everyone likes a diff wave. This is how I like mine for now. I had it at 75 and 20 and just didn't have a nice clean wave. Once we moved the wake plate to 35 it cleaned it up and I had my 3 longest runs ever.

Try moving some weight forward. Same weight, less wakeplate should keep the length and give more size.

We did have to do that while I was riding with only 2 people in the boat. So there was 1050 in the rear and 200 in the front. That for sure gave me my fav wave. I don't think anyone with a Makai has less than 1000 lb of lead in the back. But when my buddy was riding with only 2 of us in the boat he needed all but 50 lbs in the front to get the wave how he likes. It's fun moving weight around and watching the wave change. It's also cool to be able to understand how to use autowake to my advantage with having a small crew.

I had 500 lbs in the back of my Mondo, 170 in the bow.

I ran 1200 in the back-ish of my Makai with Bagbusters and none in the bow, except for a 50# anchor.
