Observations of SA near max capacity

[larry_arizona]

After reading this I calculated what we had for passenger weight when I was having issues maintaining surf speed recently. We had 2400 In passengers plus 900 in lead and all full. 4200 rpms and the 450 struggled.

Yup, you were 800# over max capacity if your ballast was full.

That explains it.

The problem with running with a big crew is that you're then disappointed when you're out next time with a small one lol

That's what she said? lol.

Larry, running full send with newbies is too much from my experience, they can't handle it. I always dial it way down for them, makes it much easier to find the pocket and rhythm. I am getting the new drive gear, just picked up a new OJ 16x14! Pretty pumped about that. May also try a 15.5x15 that my friends Max runs, just to compare. Keep having a blast!!

Great advice on the newb wave. Honestly don’t think I would run that much ballast again. Wave was massive and the sweet spot seems perfect at 10700#

1.76?

Yes sir!! hopefully back in the water soon. Fortunately we have enough friends with boats that we can still go out. Glad to see you with a packed boat, I know you had a great time!

I usually just throw them out with the full wave, haven't really experimented with making it smaller (where's the fin in that!?)
That being said that's probably a great idea and it will save gas when you're going back to pick them up 1000 times

When near max weight, it is hard to turn the boat to retrieve downed rider.

I know the surf tabs force you to turn opposite of the side of your rider, but still it’s slow to rotate.

Probably should shut off swell surf to turn
