They should be pretty good talking with the ACME rep, with the ballast I run, the OJ 945 15 x 13 became anemic.Quote:

Great post Jim! I am stoked to see your little guy doing WtoW at such a young age!
Thanks Tommy. Really W2W is no problem, it's the W2W backside 180s with the blind landing that cause him to get his hair wet. The first part of this video is from last year. That last 180 is from switch, he is a natural goofy rider. Threw in a few clips of his training partner and a little surprise from last year at the end!

Is he training with Brandon Judd by chance?Quote:

I finally went ropeless today!!! First time ever getting slack in the rope and holding it too. Wakemaker kit is a legit must have on the Max, especially if you're a bigger dude.

Awesome! It is a pretty cool feeling. Good picture and the wave looks great!Quote:

Yea man it felt awesome to finally feel was surfing or having push is supposed to feel like! It has been over 2 years worth of riding behind my buddies boat or my previous boat trying to have a decent enough wave and then last year with stock ballast it was getting a little discouraging. I had plenty of great folks offer critiques of my stance on the Facebook group so added that with the WM kit and it all kind of cliques yesterday. Felt amazing! I can’t wait to see how the wave looks once I have more than my skinny wife and our little 55 lb daughter on the boat :DQuote:

Nice header.
Good you had a surf rope. That is example of why people should not use wakeboard or waters ski ropes when surfing. Things happen fast. I would have been worried about an arm.

Very nice, looks OEM. I would add a small modification, how can the handle part be shaped into beer can holders, you know, priorities:)Quote:

Oh we still have our beer holders in the rear, made sure of that!Quote:

Yep laser cut, polished, and powder coated. The nice thing is there were no modifications to the boat as it had these originally there, just can’t match the original dimple work

I would sell those bro!!! Looks great
Are those a potential shin banger??

I'd probably make them if anyone wanted them. PM for details if anyone's interested in doing that. I also have a first gen Id let go of cheap, that the only difference was the position of the handle. Wife talked me into a second generation, as pictured.Quote:

@haknslash I traded a Yammy AR192 for a Moomba as well thought that was interesting. 70% of our outings is just my 105lb wife and my 60 pound son. To make up for this we have 500lbs of lead we move around to maintain pitch and roll. Also but a 350 bag we put on the surf side. Wake surfing is more challenging for bigger people. I am 5'10 205lb guy and my wave has plenty of push that wayQuote:

Congrats haknslash!
