2019 Helix Surf Wave Help
So I purchased a new Moomba Helix this summer and have really enjoyed it until this weekend. I am running the upgraded 1,190 lbs bags in rear lockers and 500 lbs lead spread through out depending on size of crew and who is sitting where...
I come from a 1999 Tige v21 Riders Edition before the Helix and have loved my wave compared to the old Tige, but yesterday I rode behind a 2015 T22 Axis and it was a great wave. The board I was riding was a 4.5' Happy Pill and I was landing 360's, riding deep, and really enjoying the wave. I thought at first it was just the board. I then took the same board over to my Helix and wasn't able to ride without the rope. Needless to say I have been a little irritated since then and am just hoping that maybe I can do more to make the Helix wave better now. I have read a lot about displacement and how that will be the biggest factor in making a bigger/pushy wave. I am debating putting my stock bags in the side mid storage lockers for more weight, or is weight not my issue...any suggestions?
Also the Axis only had 3 people in the boat, the helix had 6 people, 100% bags filled, and pitch and roll good without dumping water.
