This might be mostly setup on your new boat, but it's also riding style. When I talk to 'larger people' trying to surf, I tell them to get more on their toes when riding. Some boards ride better if they are moving. Some folks love to just sit back, like a riding in a lazy-boy chair.

I replaced my rear bags with 1450s. You don't need to fill them if you have a ton of people on the boat, but when there is only 3 of us it makes a huge difference. You give up most of your storage, but it is worth it. These boats are for surfing not camping.

Thanks, I need to call my salesman. Do the 900 sacs fit in the stern compartments?

You also need to play with the Auto Flow settings in the Vessel Settings screen on the LCD display menu. Depending on whether you surf on the port side (what is generally called the regular side because surfers have their left foot forward on the board and face the wave) or the starboard side (generally called the goofy side because the surfers have their right foot forward), you can change those percentages to adjust the surf plate's down draft which changes the shape of the wave on the applicable side. I have a Craz with the surf package (2500# total ballast) and I fill the entire ballast system full (both 650# rears and the 1200# center/front) to get the tallest wave, then move the majority of the extra people to the surf side, and the minority number of the other people opposite the surf side and closer to the front of the cockpit. We usually have 4 to 6 people in our boat, and most of us surf goofy footed (right foot forward on the starboard side), so we have two or three people (majority) sit on the passenger seats behind the driver on the starboard side, and the other 1-2 people (minority) sit across from them on the port side. The center wake plate setting is 50% up and the starboard setting for the Auto Flow surf system is at 75%. If I have only 3 people in the boat, I will fill an extra 400# ballast bag that I put under the passenger seat behind the driver to make the boat lean more to the starboard side. I have twin boys that surf regular footed, so when they come home from college to surf, I set the port side Auto Flow to 60% and put all people on the port side of the boat to create more lean on the port side, then change the center wake plate setting from 100% all the way up to 50% (half way up) dependent on how tall they want their wave. Dependent on which side you surf, you will need to move the Auto Flow surf switch to the side the surfer is on to activate the surf system correctly. As others have said, more weight in the stern lockers usually helps, but I have had my boat so full of people before, that I had to let water out of the rear bags to get the wave to shape up. I think each boat has its own sweet spot so work with the settings until you find your perfect wave.
