Seems like an excessive amount of roll and not enough pitch, you should be closer to the stock numbers, like 1-2 degrees difference.
You should take all the ballast out and calibrate the Autowake, then surf the stock settings. Turn off Autowake and move ballast around and surf it, repeat until you get the wave you like. Turn on Autowake and record the pitch numbers, repeat this every day until you get an idea how to setup the wave. The settings will be slightly different each time out unless you have the exact same setup. Make sure you to update Autowake to latest version, contact moomba.
I would fill everything you have to max, put all the people and lead(near the back) on the port side. Wake plate 0, surf tab 55, speed 10.5. This should make a huge short monster wave, if it doesn't look clean remove some ballast from the opposite side. Then slowly take a bag of lead at a time and move it to the bow see how that changes the wave and repeat until it the wave gets longer. Surf it and repeat. Taking a pic of each wave helps too.
Wake plate = Zero-15%, as you add more wake plate the wave will lower height & Longer wave
Higher pitch = Taller height & shorter wave
Lower pitch = Lower height & Longer wave
More speed = Lower height & Longer wave
Less speed = Taller height & shorter wavehttp://www.instgram.com/jlyons30

AutoWake questions
I would say too much roll is probably going to affect the wave. I don’t ever go over 5°. Pitch can be up to 10°

Great info there, thanks. I have the upgraded software for AutoWake so I have the amplitude setting now but it just reads the total rear weight from what I understand. It's a 2017 so I don't have the new ballast sensors that Moomba's have now. One of my biggest issues I have with my Helix is getting the wave lengthened. That's why I had such a low pitch. I added bow weight and increased the speed a little. I can get a decent wave behind the boat but I have literally no length. I don't know if I'm expecting too much from a small sized boat and I'm getting everything I'm ever going to get or what. I just feel like I don't have much length and very little push. If I get toward the back of the wave and away from the boat, that's it, there's no getting back in the wave. It's like the pocket is so small that I can't get very far from the boat or else I'm out of the wave.
I weigh 200, ride 4'8 Neo with upgraded fins, and have a long history of wakeboarding as well as ocean surfing so I feel like my skill set is there. This will be my 2nd summer wake surfing so I'm still learning and trying to progress.
I'm writing some of this info down and will take it with me this week when I go back out to dial things in.Last edited by LAwake; 05-27-2019 at 12:56 PM.

How fast are you surfing? Have you tried 11mph or more?

For me I find 11mph to get the best combo of height and length of the pocket.
For goofy foot I get around 10° of pitch and 5° of roll with my surf plate on the port at 65%and then for natural foot, the roll is closer to 3.5° with the starboard plate at 55%
Wake plate at 15% for a crew of 4 or more and 0% is only 2 or 3.
Also if you can have the boat slightly turning AWAY from the rider so you aren’t going totally straight. That really helps shape the wave for my height and curl.

Didn't think about having the boat angles away from the rider bu that makes sense. I'll look closer at my roll next time too. I've had a lot of weight on my surf side thinking that would give me a great wave but I think I'm so surf side heavy that it's actually counterproductive. I'm going to move some weight to the non surf side to get closer to the 3-4* roll and see how it looks. I assumed with more weight in the boat I would want more roll to get a better wave but now I'm hearing from most people that you still want to weight it to where you still stay between 3-5*.
I was hoping Goose would chime in and shed some light as well.
I appreciate the insight Stazi! You ever get to the Gulf Coast, I owe you some time behind the boat and several beers.2017 Moomba Helix
