Surf Wake

[Jason05216]

Went out today and wanted to try setting up the boat for wake surfing. This is my first attempt. We had the surf side rear full, opposite side rear empty, front full, flow gate completely extended, wake plate 1/2, speed 10.5 mph, I sat on surf side and my wife sat middle back. We didn't have a board for my son to surf on so he drove.

Dou you have an IBS?

Yes...there is an IBS. We have the standard 1800 lb system that came on the boat.

This is my wave. You need more curl.

Any advice on how to get there? I see you are running 1900lb surf side anything else I might look at?

Couple things.

First, with the FLOW, you need to be evenly weighted in the back to start and then empty up to a quarter of the water out of the non surf side to see if the wave gets cleaner.

Second, if your boat came as a surf edition, you should be closer to 2450 pounds (650 Left Rear + 650 Right Rear + 500 Center Tank + 650 IBS.) You stated in an earlier post that it was 1800 pounds.

I was thinking I didn't get that right from the dealer. It sure seemed heavier in the front than just 500 lbs with the bags under the seats full. I couldn't find anything in my manuals that said how much weight and where it is placed. Thanks for that info.

I read that about equal weighting and completely forgot while we were out playing around. Should I run the front full as well?

Yes, full center tank and full IBS.

Just call wakemakers and tell them your specs on your boat model. They know exactly how to weight it for surfing. They get all kinds of feedback and reviews.

I'm going to give it another go this weekend and see if I can't get it right.
