I have never used that much plate, but I have also not used as much lead and human ballast that he uses in his set ups.

I love me some Ragboy, but also prefer some things that he doesn’t include in his setups.

I will run up to 30 wakeplate at times, especially for a smaller human, but personally when I am riding I want the wakeplate up, and the speed correspondingly up. More wakeplate tends to render the front 6’ or so of the wave a little too vanilla for my liking.

I do tend to hover around factory recommended default surf plate settings.

Preference thing I guess. For example, some people want to move around surf plates for roll. He focuses on weight distribution.

When I get on social media, it appears everyone has their own 'special recipe' they like. Works for me b/c I like to try out different setups.

I run his setups. When we went out on my SL he gave me some good pointers about different topics on cause > effect on setups. Dude loves to talk about surf systems.
