Are you guys using the side wake plates to get the wake that smooth or is that all just ballasts?

I think the hull/running surface does it, and all wakeboats do it? I think? Idk! This is only with 20-30% ballast. 3 people in boat. But the Craz is apparently a great wakeboard boat, can’t remember where I read it but one of the sponsored riders said it was his favorite Moomba for boarding.





Buddy took a shot of our boat yesterday, lots of crew but plenty of room!

Your kid is a badass!!!

My 7yo son likes to think his phase5 scamp is for playing with in the water and uses this “I’m scared” stance about trying anything new (including foods). The only explanation I can think of is that he’s wanting to be his own individual and seems to steer away from anything I’m into including sports, dirtbikes, cars etc. By this age I really thought we would be into some form of racing together but he’s just not interested. I try not to push to hard in hopes he will eventually come around. He’s finally started asking to shoot his BB gun so maybe hunting in a few years lol.

I started my son on Snowskis at 3 years old. He was completely fearless. by 7 he was dropping double black diamonds. However, when we bought our wakeboats, he simply told me "watersports aren't my thing". The first season he would NOT play behind the boat. (I'm anti-tubing, so I won't even bring one on the boat). A few years ago, I think he was 10?, and he said he'd try surfing. He wasn't as intimidated with the slower speeds relative to wakeboarding. So, he tried with a 4'8 board that was too big for him and got up for an INSTANT and was stoked. I immediately bought him a scamp. After a handful of tries surfing, we went back to wakeboarding and he got up and rode. Then back to surfing and the wakeboarding paid off and he was up and riding the scamp. I still have to push him a bit to get behind the boat because often he'd just as soon be lazy and chill. Unless we're gonna do something crazy, then he's in. The doubles wakeboarding and doubles surfing was no problem to talk him into!

Snowboarding is certainly Zandar's favorite sport, but we only get 4 or 5 days on a mountain per year as compared to 100 or more days on the water. He started snowboarding (and wakeboarding) at 6 and can do black diamonds in Vermont, blue trails out west. His sister got on skis last year (at 3 years), hopefully she can do more this year. The trapeze thing is just prepping them for aerial awareness behind the boat when they get into the real tricks.

Come to think of it I wish we lived closer to mountains and flipped the time spent on mountains vs water...less expensive. I think I paid more than $2500 for gas this summer and still have about 6 weeks left!!

Short video but amazing view!

I can't say that ski/snowboard is any cheaper. We'll be around that $2.5k in season passes and that's before gas to/from the mountain and lodging for all the road trips we have planned this year. The wife is a snow junkie though, so it's easy to justify both the summer and winter expenses. Affording them is a whole other issue!!!

Shot some slow motion footage of the wave developing off idle when I added the 750 lb bag in the midship locker. I hate the second half of the video was out of focus (stupid iphone). Pretty cool to see it develop even if it's only 720p.

Foil surfing on the XLV...
