I have heard "true lifevests are too constrictive" from the same guys that all they can do is go wake to wake, but I guess at least it's something...

ok off soapbox and back on track..

@ clarkely- you want 300lb guys for ballast. although nice for scenery, she's not doing much for that wave :)

My comp vest actually floats me pretty well, never have felt unsafe with it. I wouldn't suggest surfing with no vest (nor riding with a comp vest), but I won't lie there are times I do and a couple have been because I forgot my vest in my dock box lol. I never wore a vest any times I've surfed the ocean as probably none of you have if you've surfed...that's much more dangerous in my opinion.

But back to girls and wakes!

Thanks. Not bad for a choppy day. Kinda surprising how much difference smooth water really does make.

I tried something new, at least to me, the other day...used my SUP as a longboard! It was pretty fun. Here's a video of my second time getting up. My normal setup, but wakeplate at 50% (flat) to mellow out the wave a little (I usually ride all the way up).

Lol.... I know that now..... But I have seen outback surfing.... And I have been on stock mastercraft X45 and it didn't have as good and clan wake as I see in some of the pics and vids.....

So thanks but I need another year or two before re purchasing..... Unless I find a perfect deal..... So I need advice on optimizing what I have...

Load it down with a lot of ballast, wherever you can fit it. When surfing, bias the surf side with the most weight.

In my old Launch DD, I would put all my sacs stacked on top of eachother on the left side of the boat. When wakeboarding, I'd just even them out.

Can you describe your technique for standing and riding backwards? I'm always trying to learn new stuff.

Remember, it was on my big blue SUP...never tried it on my regular board lol. It was like 20 minutes in ever surfing that board (it was just after we shot that video). When the boat takes off, you're of course already just floating on the SUP because it's so big and buoyant. I stand facing forward with feet shoulder width and pointing at the nose of the board, and hold the rope off to the side in my right hand. Once the wave develops I pull myself forward in front of it, and then I toss the rope and switch my stance to a normal riding stance.

So when I went to go backwards, I just went from my normal riding stance and kind of put my feet at an angle at first by moving my right foot back and my left foot forward. I turned my head and shoulders around to face backward at that point to try and get a feel for my balance while facing backwards. Then I just took my right foot and swung it back in line with my left, and was facing backward, feet side by side not one in front of the other (opposite of how I start). It was touchy because everything was flip flopped. When I went to turn back around, I actually kind of just jumped back around really fast.

I was more just doing silly things, and suprisingly they were working! Next I'll try a headstand or somthing...but the problem is I can't even do one on the ground I don't think, so it should turn out pretty funny to watch.

You have a great weight combo but looking at that pic the boat is very flat looking, its not rolled over to the port enough. This is causing all that white wash on the top of the wave. If you can get that weight in the center more on the port then the wave will really clean up and be bigger, then your 13 yr will be in absolute heaven.

Lol....didn't realize it's a competition, but if so then....

Amateur at best berger! A beer must be slammed while surfing, not sipped like your wife's wine cooler!

I might at least have pics somewhere...but it must be shotgunning a few buds or natty lights in a row! And need I remind, but it only counts if it's tossed from the boat and then you hand the can back to.somebody on the boat in a nonchalant manner! Then do it again...and again...and then at least one more time after that!

Lol...found this one, it was taken (or at least uploaded online) 10/24/2007!!! That's the good old launch dd, and that might be the very first year we started wakesurfing!

Kept trying it with these but they knock you clean off the board and then sink to the bottom.

2017 Mojo with around 4,000 lbs I think in this photo.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...855d79404d.jpg

This one is around 3800 I think (before our lead came in) but we have one more person in the boat so it should be about the same

This on is around 3000

The one and only day I got with the New SA last season... Enzo's in the rear, 3 in the boat. Unfortunately I didn't catch the bags were installed backwards until we started filling. So I'd guess we were 4-500# short in the back with the bags twisted.
