Surprising with 1500 up front i still have a good 2-3 feet of nose out of the water when she is approaching you at idle
Pumps will be fine
Fill time should be apx 1 minute per 100 lbs of ballast. 6-7minutes for the 650s and 10-12 minutes for the 1100s
That board is fine for what your doing, as in learning, there is another thread talking about boards to try out.
General rule of thumb, the lighter a board is the faster it is in the water, and the more expensive a board is the lighter and faster it is in the water.

Hi guys - I am helping my bud get his new Mojo dialed and want to find out where is a good starting point. He wants a good wave but probably won't run as many bags as OP.
It sounds like 1100's in the rears and a bow sac might be a good start? Does the Mojo care if the weight is centered in the bow vs. all on one side?
Thanks!

you need to ride more boards . . . . .
The shape and buoyancy are what make a board go faster. Fins also make a difference and quad fin or twin fin set up will offer more speed on a surf style board because there is no fin down the middle like a thruster that holds it back a little.
Flyboy (Jeff & James Walker) do a ton of prototyping of boards. Sometimes technical, but always entertaining read:

Also some, but not all boards that have 3 fins will be faster by removing the center fin.
On my Soul Craft its faster by removing the 2 smaller fins and also replacing the rear fins with slightly smaller ones makes it more maneuverable.
Also another consideration is Rider Weight, if your light or well under the boards maximum weight limit the board will of course be much faster then if your heavier and closer to the boards weight limit.Last edited by mmandley; 04-18-2013 at 01:08 PM.

Fins make a big difference if the rider is heavier and sinking the board deeper in the water. In other words, different sized riders may feel different things from the same fin setups.

fins 101:

A number of pros are now running up to 6 fins on surf style boards. The number of fins shouldn't impact the speed of the board, it's the size of the fins, specifically the base.
