Surf Wakes

[kpvikes]

Pic of my son trying for first time behind our 06 LSV, stock bag in locker, one 400lb sac next to engine and one in rear floor surf side and only two people on the boat...because we couldn't get anyone else to think it was a good idea to go out surfing on March 18th. Water was cold but air temp was 80 or so. Never could get it dialed in where he could let go of rope. Played with speed and wakeplate and this was the best we could do. Any suggestions other than force family/friends to go next time!Wakesurfing 3-18-12.jpg

Put a giant cooler of ice cold beer in the surf side locker. It will add the weight you need, plus a lot more people are apt to come along regardless of the weather.

Or, try stacking the bags in the rear surf side locker so you get around 800 back there, plus the ski locker full. Wake plate all the way up and 9.5-10.5 mph. From there, it's all about technique and finding the sweet spot.

Thanks wolfman/T100 So...good to see an LSV only needs a full cooler or bodies to get a good wave. There's hope for us. I'll send a pic as soon as we give it a second try.

We'll be trying out the surf wake on our new LSV with 750s tomorrow! Can't wait!

Looks good Mark, our boat is going in the water tomorrow and we will pretty much be running the same weight. Hoping ours is as good as yours. Any weight in the front/center? We will likely be filling up our 1180 as much as it will go and go from there.

Ryan I didn't have any front or center weight but I really haven't worked on the surf wave too much because I have been wanting to improve my wakeboarding. Port side is way better for me I can not get starboard to clean up when we start running that weight. Remember I only have the little LSV and when we ride 80% of the crew is goofy. Also my boat is rub rail deep in the corner and you really have to pay attention when turning stopping ect.
