We tried a few setups on the weekend with some successes. Had rear 900's full and Center/front all the way full. Put people in front and back corners to try and get pitch and roll. Tried with and without autowake
At end of day I'm going to upgrade rears to 1140's and then have a couple bags, one for front under bow filler and one for under rear seat (or on top of seat) for surf side. If we have friends out we can leave additional bags at home
Experimented with wake plate from 100% down to all the way up. Surf tab was usually 70% for goofy side surfing. Overall need boat low in water for longer wave we will try wake plate all the way up and get boat low on water for longer wave. Generally close to 11mph but will adjust speed to try and lengthen wave.
We also have different board coming. Dealer sold us Diamond CL by Phase 5 which is a nice board but single fin and not very thick board. Son uses a 54" and I'm on 57". Getting better on it but it seems slippery.
Without bodies or extra bags to help achieve necessary pitch and roll auto wake will dump ballast to achieve set points. Down side of that is less ballasts in boat and therefore less displacement, therefore shorter and steeper wave (imo)
Thanks for advice so far.

I have a 2017 Surf Max with the stock 900 rears, 700 in floor hard tank, and 500 ibs.
I fill everything full. Full like the cupholders pop out of the front and I burp the air out of the rear bags and keep filing until they overflow out the side thruhulls. I run the wakeplate all the way up, and the surf tabs at the factory setting, which I believe is 85% on the starboard side and 65% on the port side. It's always just my wife, son, and I in the boat, so not much human ballast at all. If you can't surf that wave, then it's a technique thing, not a boat thing. It's a steeper wave than a longer wave, but I can still ride well back from the platform. My son (albeit, he's only 9 and weighs 65 pounds) can ride at least 12-15 feet back.
I don't use the AutoWake. I like to transfer side to side when surfing, and the system can't keep up with the filling and draining. Better to just run everything full and just have the driver flip the switch back and forth. Fun!!!
One thing for sure though is you need deep water. One lake we frequent has some areas where it drops to 8-12 feet deep in places, and wave crumbles.

Don't use Autowake. For port side surfing (natural foot) set the starboard tab to 45% wakeplate to 25% and speed at 11.2. We also have another 400on floor up against rear bench, and additional 750 on surf side seat. For starboard side surf (goofy) use same setting except surf tab at 65% and switch 750 bag to starboard side.

Meant to attach these pics to my last post. That's a 16 craz with a wave of the same calibre as the pic you posted. That's 4600# of ballast and 4 passengers.

With the enzo sacs, is the 400 enough or 450 needed at sea level?

400 is more than enough at sea level. Just make sure you're running a 15x13 prop. 15x12.5 would be even better. I run the oj 945 and surf all day long at 5.1 gph or less, with that setup. Rpm's are 3400-3600 depending on crew size and conditions.
