Polar Bear 2018 Video

also, not trying to be a Debbie downer , but if a mfg. cant throw a killer wave with factory ballast and 1000 lb of lead , then the hull and surf system should be redesigned. I have not seen so much lead entered into a surf equation as this Polar bear event

Yeah, well it’s a trade off between size and interior space available. So....there’s really no other way to slice it.

That heavy ass Fi has poor storage. A real downer for an owner that wants storage and a “decent” surf wave. That owner would love a Makai for opposite reasons.

You can alter a Makai to take on a lot more water like the Fi if you want to....all the storage goes away though.

Hence people opt for lead.

It’s really not a complex decision tree. You want space or weight? Can’t have both.

If you want the boss wave, it becomes weight. Polar bear is supposed to be a boss wave event.

The hull and surf system are fine. They’re not nearly as vital as you think. It’s -Mostly- about weight.

I'm with JMV - if you add 1000lbs to a any manufactures factory system it should be throwing a wave that's as good or better then any of us can surf. If not they should revisit the factory system, hull, surf system - something.

Yeah well, that’s easy to say. And impractical if you’re making business decisions. They could add more water to the factory system and fill all your compartments? But half of the people don’t want that. So which part of the buyer population do you alienate?

I personally don’t mind adding weight to the boat because surf is my top priority. If storage was, I wouldn’t add a thing.

Furthermore there are capacity regulations that they need to dance around as well.

Oh boy. Which Malibu has boss waves and huge storage? And the secrets to circumventing the laws of physics....
