For now this will have to work. I don't have a picture of my wake. Just this video of me trying to wakesurf.

This is my 2006 Mobius LSV
This is with 400 lbs in each rear locker, a chest cooler in the surf side locker, 3 people in the boat, wake plate almost all the way down(somewhere between 3/4 and all the way down), the stock ballast bag in the ski locker full, at 11.5 mph. Any comments are helpful.
get at least a 750 and raise the wake plate to 3/4 to all the way up.
I'm looking at getting bigger bags for the rear. When I put the wake plate up the pocket gets way small. Am I going too fast?
I find speeds between 9.5 & 10.5 work best, for my boat the slower speeds shorten the pocket and the faster speeds lengthen it.
I think your going to slow, have you checked your spedo against a gps unit?Quote:

Holy crap - looks like she's waaaaaaaaay off in the distance! Talk about a long pocket - cool angle for sure.
I was just about to say the same thing!!! she looks like she's 20 feet back of the boat!! I can't wait to get my go pro running... i just bought the roll bar mount for it yesterday i think i'm gonna mount it on the tower. This looks like it's mounted on the bar on the back of the boat????
she might not be that far back, but she has an ability to catch up from further back than most. She pulls off some recoveries that we all shake our heads at!
The go pro was mounted on the transom with the suction cup mount, just above the rear tiedown eye. Just in case, we also had a lanyard from the camera case tied off to the rear grab handle. Camera was set to snap a pic every 2 secs. Really want to get some video from this angle next weekend.
The roll bar mount is just big enough to fit on the rear ski pylon... its got a wkde angle screen so if u put it on the tower the rider looks really far back in the filmQuote:

1100 lbs rear surfside, stock center, nothing upfront (yet). It really lenghened out the pocket. I could really get back there.

08 XLV...first pic trying to ride darkside on the port wake. 2nd pic is my 6'4" buddy on his first ever attempt at wakesurfing. The wake was at his hip/waist but pocket is kinds short with a steep face. If we take out some of the wakeplate or increase the speed a little the wake mellows out. Last pic is goofy side, pocket goes way back.

'08 Mobius LS..... 400lbs under seat, 750 lbs left side of engine against the back seat, 750lbs 1/2 full in front of the full 750lbs on left side.
Just got her out for the first time this weekend. 500 locker, 750 side seats and 500 up front... Respectable but not to shabby for first try with the new XLV. My Buddy Even not I. More on my phone but this is just the beginning.

Still dialing in but we're almost there. I'd like to lengthen the pocket some more. Height is not a problem.

Woah! You can surf behind these boats?!?!?!?!?!?!
How fast were you going?
11.5 -12. depending on rider. have ran up to 13 to stretch pocket deeper but it was a bit fast.
Gotcha, it just looks like your going pretty fast. I actually keep it in between 11-12 too. Get to do some testing this weekend with my new 750 fat sac and then another 400 in the seats as well as the 400lb bag in the center. I am excited to see how we do.
