Max Water Test - Recommended Setup

[z28ke]

I was running 6500 in ballast last night as we put a 900 between the Helm. We also had 9 in the boat plus a couple of littles. The wave was PHA-KEN SAVAGE! Had to be 4.5 tall. However there wasn't much push farther back which is the demon I have been chasing.

What speed were you running and what board do you ride?

Ronix Thumbtail- Speed was about 10.7ish

I wonder if adding a little speed when you have that much ballast would firm up the back of the wave giving more push back there? Somewhere between 11-11.5

So when I rode it was really good. We had a noob trying to get up, and I sitting on very back of the sundeck helping here and it got even better with the same speed. It wont hurt to bump it up so I will give it a try.

Finally bought a go pro and tested it out. This is a max regular wave with 720 ballast bags in both MIDSHIP lockers. No listing (this why the face of wave isn’t perfect). 11.1 mph (usually do 11.4-6 mph as wenkikemling shorter waves, but wife hit the wrong stalk haha), center plate at 10. Wife is 5’8” and able to sit and see over the bow without seat cushion.

Just a small female driver in the boat. Gas under a quarter tank. That’s me on a hifi Skim board. Surf board and can surf even further back easily. Midships Worth their weight in gold when you have no crew. This would suck if the max didn’t have storage elsewhere galore.

Hope to follow up with some sweet 360 vids .... but currently rotate too slow and end up on the other side of the wave. Glad practice is a lot of fun.

I nailed a 360 on the max demo. Here's some pics I got. Wakemakers midship bags.

Trayson, if you can recall what roll, speed, and plate settings was that on? Very nice face on that wave.

Trayson, are you gonna buy it?

Trayson, stock rear bags? That boat looks eerily similar
