My Perfect Surf Setup- OBV, Outback, LSV, Mondo, Mojo, Craz, Helix (& other SC boats)

[kaneboats]

Instead of making folks dig through tons of threads and posts and tweaks and responses, let's have one thread where everyone who nails a surf setup can post the details with pics/vid, etc. Please include your year, model, ballast setup, speed, wake enhancers deployed, etc. If your wave is pretty good, don't post here. This is to help others if you have done the work and really nailed your setup. Thank you to everyone for your input! Surf's up.

2016 Mojo Surf Edition
Kids wave - video is of the 6 year old but I use the same settings for all three of them. They can surf all day on this wave.
900# port side locker (1100# bag but no way it is filling all the way up).
900# starboard side locker (1100# bag same as above).
375# under port seat - full
Center and bow both full
Wakeplate @ 25%
10.5 - 11.0 mph (depends on wind and other stuff I don't understand)
Surf tab @ 65%

For adults drop the surf tab to 45%-55% and wakeplate all the way up. Thank God no one is Goofy foot - the 8 year old tried when she was four but I stomped that right out. We did a demo of a Mojo and a Craz and we did not like the stock wave at all. Added the extra ballast and reinforced the engine panels before we even went out on our maiden voyage, July 4th weekend

2008 Outback DD

IBS full, 500 to 600 lbs.
1400lbs rear weight, evenly distributed, no surf side bias.
Full tank of gas.
Suck gate on top step, forward of the rear ballast vent thru hull.
This recipe =ropeless wih the DD. The key to this hull, fellas, is forward weight. We dont have much for rear hull displacement so get that front down! More push, longer pocket. Ill have pics and video to post later this month

2011 XLV, Acme 1617 prop, suck gate (teal mark), all factory ballast locations full with 1100s in the back and 1800 in the floor (blue outline), 565 lb sack under observer seat full (red outline), and 800 lbs of lead throughout the boat (green marks), we surf 11.2-11.7 usually although you can surf up to 12.5 mph. You can move the 565 lb behind the driver seat to surf goofy and have just as nice of a wave. We like the lead bags because you can fine tune the way much easier. The XLV hull is finicky especially in the front to back location of the weight surf set up.JPGsuf.jpgsurf2.jpgsurf3.jpgsurf 5.jpg

Is the rider actually surfing that far back in the 3rd pic? That's like 30+ ft behind the boat. It looks like wash back there but hard to tell from the pic. NICE wave!!

Yes, I was the rider in that pic and yes the wave still had push at that spot.
