Surf Wakes

[spyder]

Hey guys I upgraded my ballast to 1100 rear bags and the 1150 front bag. I'm trying both port and starboard wakes with the front bag full, and one rear bag full.

If I add anything to the opposite bag, the wave flattens out Also finding it hard to get a long pocket without the wakeplate down, and not feeling enough push to go completely ropeless unless i'm damn near on the swim step.

Riding IS Squirt, also have the mucus but I haven't tried it yet. Ideas, thoughts suggestions?

not sure, but that seems like a lot of weight in the front.

I have the LSV, I run a 400 (V-Drive Sac in rear port locker), 400 mid-port side (beside seat), and the integrated front ballast full. and i get a wake like this..



I'm going to upgrade the rear to a 750 and move 400 to the bow i think

also, i ride a big ass red woody

I'll take a vid next time we go out, but it looks close to that... The XLV takes a TON of weight in general whether wakeboarding or surfing -- the factory GravityIII didn't even come close for surfing. How much weight is your integrated bow sack?

i got nothing in the bow, just the floor that fills up.. i think thats about 400.. i could be way off on that.

Another short contribution thanks to Boonjeepin and his GoPro. I can't believe some of you guys aren't running more weight in the bow. Starting to discover good improvements in shape and length going heavier.

As far as swamping the boat, can't say I ever have... but can't say same for wife. Not often but it has happened. I will agree with the rest that it takes alot to roll my XLV on it’s side for surfing. 1100 surf v-drive locker, 1150 ski locker, 500 on observer seat, 500 on surf side bow, about 500 off surf v-drive locker. It’s tall, steep, and long with plate down running 12. I love it, but some have a problem with it’s vertical wall and transition to the flat at the bottom. Definitely have to stay back on the board. I’ve got some pics and videos on this thread somewhere.

your pocket looks nice and long but not too high, with a little more height i think it would be bang on

this boat has to be the most weighted wakesurf setup i'll ever seen.. incase it doesn't link properly go to 1:33

the thing is underwater! but that curl is incredible.

I'd love to try something like that on a pure glass morning...

Any guess how much weight they are running?


Yup, back corner is right at level or under at rest... Crazy.


Only 2 in front - hidden ballast, maybe IBS?


Definitely seems to be riding nose high though - more than most I've seen.

if you notice when he hits the gas the water actually rolls up onto the back cushions .. insane
