Newbie to board, looking for some guidance

just to clarify: you fill 900 on both sides at once, or just surf side? it appears that you fill all bags completely?
thanks again

Surf side full (900 lbs), port or non-surf side apps 600lbs, center full (500 lbs), and IBS full (650 lbs), surf flow 2nd position, wake plate 3/4 up, and 11.7 mph. Also, only have wife in the boat driving ...

When we have other folks in the boat, it's a case of verbal ballast movement, i.e., moving people around. With our boat, when we have friends out, we put one or two in the bow and another one or two in the back corner surf side. This really makes the wave a lot bigger and longer ...

Hope this helps ...

So i used to spend a lot of time in an XLV and we never had any issues with the wave. What we would do is fill the coffin bag (i think 1250 lbs) full, and then i think we ran 750's in the rear. Filled surf side rear full and plate all the way up. Speed was between 10-11 mph and bingo worked great. With this boat i do remember a little arc in the driving to make it perfect but nothing to crazy.

Hopes this helps

I bought the 5'7 model because of my size (6'4, 240). I was afraid to go with the 4'7 or 5'1 due to spending that much money and not enjoying it; but, I think I could have gotten away with the 5'1, the 4'7 would have been way too small. However, I do have a blast with the 5'7 and can surf wireless for a very long time on it.

Hope it helps ...
