    Default first time surfing

    looking for a little advice on surfing with a 2012 mojo with factory ballast (2 450lb bags in the back lockers, and the hard tank). So my previous boat was on I/O so we have never surfed before. my main thing i want to know is if the boat is surf-able with just the factory ballast? just keep in mind that i am not looking for the best wave ever, just something to learn and have fun on at first.

    thanks

    Get bigger bags

    But seriously, if u can't get new bags at the moment u could fill and then cap off the first bag then hook up the second bag and fill it in the same locker.

    Best bet is either to get bigger bags or lots of people to use as ballast!

    are you recommending i just get bigger bags for the back? would 750's work? i would like to keep so room back there for storage.

    You should get 1100s and an IBS. Lots of info on here regarding weighting a Mojo. Look for post by Wolfeman and mmandley. I think most run 1100s in rear 400s under side seats, Center tank/bag and an IBS. That is also what I run in my LSV.

    Thoughts on an 09 Outback V ballast for surfing. I have the Gravity III system currently, I saw some 750lb bags at my local sports store today for $150. Would it be as easy as unplugging my current bags and plugging the new ones in? Not sure if there is a standard on the fill connection?

    I don t know for the Mojo but with the lsv yes you can surf with only the stock ballast but the wake as not a lot of push so it is harder for a beginner because you really have to stay in the sweet spot and this spot is not long. for me bigger bags= easier and much more fun. I run the same bags as E4Nash in my Lsv and the wave is a lot longer and has a lot of push.......so you don t have to fight to stay on the wave....

    This is the way to go with a Mojo. You'll get frustrated trying with just the stock bags. At a minimum, you need the 1,100 for the surf side.

    Buy them & you'll be happy. Might be plug & play, but there are 3/4" and 1" fittings out there. I think your boat has 3/4", but if those bags have 1", you can order new ones from wakemakers.com and swap them out.

    Do I need to support the wall next to the engine compartment with the 1100's in there? And if so how?
