Hello all,
We've recently purchased a new 2017 Mojo with the surf package. As first time surfers, we had someone with a bunch more knowledge help us out setting up the boat and teaching us how to surf. I'd like to confirm settings - make sure I am doing everything right!
For starters, I am 5'10" and weigh nearly 200lbs. We set the ballast to 100/65/100, as we had surfers on both sides (I surf on passenger side of the boat, left foot forward). As I said, we are just beginning, however the only spot that I could really surf without getting pulled along was right up behind the boat - board within inches to a couple of feet from the platform. As a beginner, is this typical? I certainly had a bunch of rope in my hand!
Also, rope length. we have a 20ft rope, should I be using all of this, or shorter it by a length to 17ft? A little less rope hanging in my hand would be a good thing at this point!
Thanks!
