My buddies for my 50th bday had Parker Payne come out and ride with us for 6 hours. He likes that long progressive wave as well on both his Matrix and Phantom. He can do any and all of his tricks on both skim and surf style board on a progressive wave. He falls way back beyond the 2nd pocket and builds so much speed down the line with 1 maybe 2 pumps. I've watched tons of videos on YouTube and Instagram of Parker, Sean, Keenan, and a ton of Ashley Kidd (OMG!!!) but it is totally different spending a day with a pro surfer that is just back there free riding and throwing down not worried about getting the right shot or putting the right 6 trick run together for the competition.
Watch videos of the pro riders, almost all of them prefer a progressive wave. I can air (some) and spin on my wave, it is just more fun than the wall coming out the back with some huge lip and curl. That wave looks cool, but that's about it, for me at least.Quote:

I’m sure this is going to be crappy quality from a screenshot of the actual video. 100% front, 100% port, 100% starboard. Wakeplate/smartplate 0%, starboard surf plate 80.

She was holding a video camera. Not sure what kind it was, but I recall him talking about it on one if his videos. He was shooting some video from the boat and his drone.Quote:

Yea they seem like a really nice and fun family to hang around in the boat and to surf with. I'm hoping to make it to the Polar Bear event on Norris to meet them if it still happens.Quote:

Word gets around fast. The openings are filled in 15-30 mins.
Norris will make a great event. Houseboats, wake companies down here, great surfing lake, and Bubba’s Brew.

I realize this is an old thread and most of the questions regarding surf setup have been discussed ad nauseum, but, I ran into this video that provides info on how to access the inclinometer calibration for the vision system. As we all know, an accurate Inclinometer is essential for a properly working autowake system. I did not know where this setting was so the video was helpful in that regard. Maybe most of you who have the vision system are already aware of this. For those who are not, here it is:
Its towards the end of the video. The rest is just basic surf setup stuff that we are very familiar with.

Has anyone switched to 50% wakeplate? I love his videos, and reviews. Its just confusing that everyone talks up his knowledge of setups, yet no one actually uses his setup lol. Im sure Ill try it out eventually. Right now I'm just focused on surfing, so I'm not making any changes to my wave.
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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.
