2008 XLV Wakeboard setup?
How are you guys weighting the XLV? I am having a hard time getting it clean under 22 on both sides?

The two setups I've tried are only the front 1180 gravity full, and 1180 full, with rear 1100's half full each.
I'm thinking that since I have my drysuit on, that this pic is probably early season when I was just doing the 1180 bag only at 21.5 mph.
I can't seem to find any decent wake pics with the 1100 bags half full...2008 Moomba Mobius XLV. Monster Cargo Bimini, WS Rev 410's, Polk Cabins, 3 Infinity Subs, PPI amps, WS420, Exile BT, upgraded ballast pumps, up to 3,500+ pounds of ballast, Blue LED's...

Trayson, that looks great, but 21.5 is a little fast for me. I may have to try that though just not looking forward to a face plant!

I shorten up the rope for the kids at 18 mph to get the clean part of the wave, also its kinda cheating but it works...

my signature crash is when I pop off the wake wrong and my body rotates so that my board's pointing away from the boat and my back is flat to the water like an upside down turtle and my waist and kness bent. Then I come down and slap the water from my waist to my shoulders from about tower height...
Reminds me really quick that although I've been wakeboarding for almost 2 decades, I've been alive over 4 and there's a reason I wear a helmet.2008 Moomba Mobius XLV.

That is exactly how I got my concussion. Head whip on the backside with serious force. My wife got me a helmet that Christmas and I do wear it. When I ride though I am looking at other boats and picture them thinking "when is the guy in the helmet going to pull off some really crazy stuff". I hate to disappoint but no rolls here. That was at 23 MPH on a wake to wake with a 65' rope, now I am back down to 21 MPH.
