Finally just ordered 500 lbs for my 2015 Mondo. Can someone give some good advice for where the best place for the 10 bags. I realize on surf side but I have heard all in back and I have heard some in back and some in middle. And also heard some in the front.Do you guys put them under the sacs in the rear compartments or just forward.?
I realize it is trial and error but just looking for some place to start.
I also talked to Spencer at wakelife. Very friendly and expects me to receive shipment in 3 weeks. Fingers crossed!!!2015 Moomba Mondo Surf Edition

Depending on how many people you have with you. On our Mondo, we typically surfed with 3-5 people. With 5, put all 500 in the bow and have people sit on the the surf site. Ballast full, wakeplate 0-25 %. Start with ~ 11mph. Try to stay 9-10° pitch. If too high, move some to bow or speed up a little. If too low, reduce wakeplate.
If 3 on the boat, I would put 350 in bow and 150 on Surfside i.
If the boat is full you may need 2-3 people in the bow.
Now, I weight 245#'s. As a newer surfer not good at pumping, this was the only setup to give me enough push to surf.
For my kids - 150 & 180#'s, I would go a bit faster and extend the packet a bit.
On the shallow part of the lake we would slow down closer to 10 to get push, but wave was mushy.
Hope this helps2022 MB F22 Alpha

Do you have Integrated bow system? We have 550 lbs in sac in bow and 650 lbs in hard tank mid ship. 500 more pounds in front seems like a lot. The bow already rides low in water with that much weight. I appreciate the advice. We have 2 teens that have no issue with wake. I'm at 180 pounds and can surf but very close to boat. Would definitely like to shorter the wave but extend the length. I guess more weight in the front would do that.

Ordered lead on Aug 8th and USPS picked it up today, Aug 27 for delivery. Who knows how long for USPS to deliver but fast processing on wakelifes part. Order was ready for pickup 2 weeks after I placed it.
Hoping it makes difference. Talk with professional surfer and he recommended 300 lbs on surf side and 200 lbs on the other side just forward of rear sacs. He said my boat needs slightly more list
than others.2015 Moomba Mondo Surf Edition
