Got in some really good sets this weekend! Pic of one of my kids here. We are getting a much taller wave without the swim platform digging in. The push is great but I need to lengthen it even more!! Very happy with it though.
Why does the wave always look so great in real life but so small in photos LOL? I need some lessons in photography.

That's a massive wave 5:00. Can't wait to get my bags and inland curl shaper, hopefully have it all setup this weekend
Nothing wrong with that pic at all, probably just your angle......and that wave is the kinda of clean that I would kill for!!!Quote:

Nice matching boat and garage.

We got almost that same wave with only two of us on board. I also found the wake plate had to be almost all the way down to clean the wave where it used to be only half way down. I still need to fine tune but working well so far.Quote:

Glad to be backing off rather than having to add.
I have been watching you gathering your gear together over the months, you will get it all working! I like the Umlaut in your signature. It makes it much more metal looking :cool:Quote:

This is with just me and my wife in the boat. :-) This pic was taken from the driver's seat, so I don't have the advantage of perspective like it'd be if someone was taking the same pic from down low near the surfer.Quote:

Admittedly, I'm running an extra ~600 pounds on the surf side under the seats and under the bow seat. I don't run my starboard full however. usually just to the point where my slalom ski in that locker tops out on the part of it that sticks under the seats... I'd guess half +/-.
Even with a suck gate, I still list my boat and still put more people on the surf side. The gate just makes it a touch cleaner and longer. And people more forward also helps my setup. I have a friend that is a little heavier that sits in the observer seat and it's perfect when they're along.
And yeah, plenty of push. The wife and son have actually complained that their back leg gets really tired from having to put on the brakes a lot! hahaha. I know it's not the best wave on the planet, but I'm easily on par (sometimes I think mine's better) with the stock wave on my Buddy's G23. So that makes be feel good.
first surf of the year, still needing to dial in the new boat, but im glad we went with the 1140s before evening putting the boat in the water. On the demo last year with a 16 craz surf addition could not go ropless, cant wait to play with the wave even more Attachment 25751
