It controls the side to side transfer of the wave. The shape would still be controlled at the helm.

I actually had a guy with an Outback V call last week. I am not sure if he purchased. That would make hiding ballast a lot easier.

Of course eventually the novelty will wear off and a new boat will be inevitably work its way onto the priority list. But that too will fade away with forum induced mods and eventually lead to another new boat on the radar, with mods to follow, and the viscous cycle will repeat itself again, and again, and again......
I disagree with the comment about the "non-surf specific hull". Although surfing a 19 or 20 foot direct drive is fun it is nothing like surfing a V-Drive.

I had been weighting my 2004 Malibu VLX traditionally for years and thought my wave was amazing. Once I put the WaveControl on the boat last winter I felt like I had a ton more push. To experiment i surfed the boat with my custom surf sac on the starboard side. I then drained the bag. Placed a 750 lb. sac in each locker and surfed the wave with the surf system. It was a night and day difference. I would assume it is similar to the guys running flow after having listed their Mojo's or LVS's.
