    Min of 10 ft or the wave is no good.

    I seem to get the best wave at around 30ft coincidence or is deeper better?

    10 feet is bare minimum. deeper is better.

    Just seems to be harder to fine tune over 30 I was out at around 70ft this weekend and just couldn't get the pocket to open up enough

    water depth would not cause any issues with the pocket other than if its shallow, then there is no wave at all

    This is interesting!! My lake is shallow and in the end where were at the depth is around 9-11 feet most of where we ride! I had my boat in a deeper lake once but we didn't surf so I have no comparison! Now I'm gonna have to go elsewhere and see what I see!!

    You can definitely see the wave flatten out under 10 feet. We have started riding in a deeper part of the river since I've been working on the 360.
