Hey All,

New to the forums AND new to owning a boat. My in-laws live on a lake and considering I have 2 boys (12 and I felt like having a decent boat to play with made sense. My boys have basically spent their time tubing up until now. I got the 12 year old up on wake board this week and he loved it. The 8 year old tried hard and got REAL close to getting up. Now they both are obsessed with surf videos and want to give it a try.

On to the real questions now. A few weeks ago I picked up an 08' OBV. No major mods made to it, yet. The rear sacs have been upgraded to a larger size but unsure what size they are. My understanding is that a wake shaper will make our experience much better. With all the choices out there what do you all think is best for my boat? What else should I consider to make it a great experience for the kids? My weight is around 240# and if I can make the boat perform well I would LOVE to surf as well. What would make it most enjoyable for me?

Thanks!
