07 LSV Beginner surfer setup
Well I am finally getting around to trying the surf game and know that I'm going to be a little handcuffed in my system but figured I would ask how best to tune the boat up to optimize the learning/riding experience. I have 500 IBS, 1k bag in each locker. I could add the 300 [400]or so pounds in the center locker if that would help. My limitations are no perfect pass [this winter's project], stock swim platform, stock prop. From other posts I know that I'll want full IBS, 1 full rear bag, 75%? of opposing locker depending on surfer style. I've been following along one of the other threads and will attempt the suck gate. Would I be better off with a ghetto gate instead or a combination of both? Or more expensive yet, one of the newer swim platforms? Crew size is never more than a handful. Speed will obviously be a limiting factor since consistency will be off. Any suggestions that have worked for you? Thank you!
