Hey all...Hoping to get into wake surfing this year after a series of spills last year wakeboarding have made ame a little edge-shy :(
I have an '04 Mobius LS w/ the gravity I in the rear w/ 400lbs plus the gas tank. I also have a 400lb tube sac in the locker. We usually have about 4 guys at any given time. My one buddy says there's no way I'll be able to surf behind the boat w/out more ballast. I've experimented with the wake and positioning passengers and the wake looks pretty sick to me? Anyone else surfin' with an LS or similar? Any advice for a beginner?
Also, how about boards? Seems there is either the 4'6" trick boards or the 5'6" beginner boards. I like the idea of starting easy and also having a board to share w/ guests but don't want to outgrow it to quickly and wish I had something a little more agile. There's also the 5'10'ish sized boards that seem like they'd be a good compromise. I"m an old skater and wakeboarder so my learning curve should be pretty short :roll: (yeah right). What about fins, rocker, weight, composition (poly), etc... Appreciate any advice!
