Josh - we had a great looking wave like that as well.. kids (less than 100lbs) surfed it and it was good. Until the adults surfed it - not good at all.. zero push.
What were your settings?

I actually ride goofy side and the wave is very clean and tall, I’ve been surfing two weeks now but I can stay in the pocket easily and recover pretty well. Still holding the rope for moral support only. I also have rode several boards and I think some have a lot more float/push than others But
Pitch 9.5
Roll -1 or 3 for goofy
10.8mph or 11.5 for goofy
Wake plate zero
Tabs have been at 90 on both sides haven’t had enough time to adjust them lately
Either I’m riding or teaching people how to ride lately
My crew is always about 10-12 but no lead just stock
My lake is also 60’ deep in most places and I keep the boat full of gas. Bled the rear bags and agree tons of air! Haven’t done the front bag yet
Trying to get a reasonable crew out one evening during the week with some of my friends that already own a boat to surf and feel the push to really tune the wave in but it’s rideable for sure
Dank have you checked your pitch and roll with nothing in the boat? I had to reset mine to zero, they were showing -.9 and -3.x when sitting in the water with no lead/people. After resetting mine it helped a bunch.
I also had to do this. My roll was off by 1.5 degree, pitch by 1 degree. In the 3 part Autowake tutorial video's they walk you through how to do it, (resetting inclinometer is in the 3rd video but all are worthwhile watching).

Great read. A lot of information in there. Biggest take away I get from that is your not going to have a great wave without a decent chunk of weight over stock. It seems to me that the people who are saying its a great wave have more than 2,000# over the stock ballast. Wake9s review had 1,000 in lead and 7 adults in the boat. assuming that is 2,200ish#. Josh said he had 10-12 people, assuming all adults and a mix of guys and girls that would be close to 1,800 to 2,000 pounds of people and gear.
Does anyone know if the flow3 works without using autowake? When I had the boat on the lift I kicked the surf side on and the surf tab deployed but I dont remember if the corner plate kicked down.
Really not encouraging since my wife and 5 year old will be the only ones in the boat most of the time. The boat should surf stock with empty crew and only get better with weight. Not gonna like it if i HAVE to spend more money on lead to have a rideable surf wave.
Trust me it’s not because with a crew of 12-14 you don’t get to surf yourself. Much less get everyone to stay still long enough to set up a wave.
Then if I do buy 1000+ lbs of lead I feel like I’ll sink the boat if I load to many people on it.. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...35c894a193.jpg
