Cant drop the rope with upgraded 1140s

[Karl]

Lowest portion of the boat, just above the bottom. It was fully submerged. Like I said, I think my speed was a little slow when I took the pic, which is my fault. It did get better, but its still weak. I think its the 500lb bow weight like most mentioned(and board prob too). Hopefully the 750 IBS will fix it up. I did notice my speed was off when I checked with a GPS, but honestly we have played with the speed a lot to find the ideal speed, regardless of how fast/slow it may be.

Can't help on the wave shape, but can second Moombamarc's comment about the board -

"Once I bought a skim 2 fin style board I can ride no problem in the wave no rope."

I have tried a few boards behind my Outback V, the skim style board I have settled on is much faster than the others meaning I don't need to rearrange everyone on the boat to get a wave I can stay on, it gets the best out of whatever wave we get on the day.

Try and borrow a very flat skim style board with sharp rather than rounded edges and small fins. I am still very much a beginner but find it much easier to hold the pocket and recover even on waves well below knee height.

If you find a 2 minute video 'Moomba outback v, wakesurf progress' that's me finally getting the hang of bouncing with my weight on the front foot to recover on a very modest (mid calf) wake.

Whilst I don't have huge experience, the surf style boards seem to need a more refined pumping technique than the basic 'lean on the front and bounce up and down' that will recover a skim style board.

Also the few surf style boards I have tried have a lot more fin surface which generates so much drag it feels like the brakes are on - no doubt in the right hands they work, but for instant smiles, try a super flat, sharp edged skim style board - just don't leave it black side up in the sun ;-(

That's too low. Put it basically where mine is in the pic, with the blade somewhere around the M or O in Mojo, just above the step body line.

Yep....that would be a problem. I had one on my 05. Not only did the wake change, but I had issues with it popping off. Fill the boat, then put it about 2” above the water line. Bow weight is also going to make a difference.

FYI there's a Tsunami pump for sale on the Moomba/Supra FB page for $100 shipped obo.
