    Default My first wakesurfing experience. *video*

    I have never done wakesurfing before so I am not quite sure if I am setup properly.

    I filled my left rear ballast and center ballast and had two people in the boat.

    I am thinking I still need more weight or a faster board because if I move the surfboard back and fourth in the wave I fall behind.

    Yep. I just started last week.

    I really love the way the board feels. Very predictable but the more I use it I am starting to notice that it's not as fast as I would like.

    I am hoping more weight will solve the problem.

    deafgoose, just put another sac in the seat on you surf side. It looks like you were about the right speed there at the end but you need a little more weight on the side your surfing. My buddy has the same set-up and it rocks with 2-3 people. You can always forego the sack and bring a pile of friends and stack them on the sides.

    I will give that a try.

    Since I am not using the ballast on the right I could put that on the seat instead.

    What else do I need besides a Tsunami pump?

    goose, more weight on surf side is needed- your wave can get almost twice as big--what are you runnung now? do you have the wake plate?

    Deafgoose, very cool. I just got to use my new surf board for the 1st time this week. I never watched any videos so it was all trial and error. When I finally got up it was way cool. I have a Walker Project X5, I seriously suggest you find one and try it out.
