My brother-in-law is regular, he was up on the first time and next 5 or so but couldn't ever go ropeless... wave was pretty clean but not massive and it felt very close to the boat. I was up next and I'm goofy so we swapped things up... I was up first time but we could never get the wave clean.

I'm sure with some practice and a little tweaking we'll get things better... but I'm not sure what to do next. The flow seems like the "easy" solution but I'm not wanting to drop the $$$ on that... especially with the not so positive reviews. There are very young children in my boat so leaning it and sinking it like crazy are not really appealing either.

Any thoughts?
I hate to say it but some of it does come down to skill. I went out last week (in 55 degree water as well). I was behind my buddy's Tige 21v. We had one driver and two passengers when I was surfing. My friend that owns the boat FORGOT to bring the bags. So there we were with a Tige using 2 normal sized people as the ONLY ballast. And guess what, I was able to freeride. Yeah, it took some effort and there were a couple times I lost the wave. But I was able to freeride a 21' v-drive with no ballast because I'd worked all last season surfing.

That said, the right wave makes it a LOT easier and a LOT more fun. But I found out someone that has a little experience can make it happen even without ballast. (and I'm really not that great of a surfer--only been doing it 1 summer).

Regardless, I'm staying tuned for FLOW developments and am anxious to get out behind a boat that has it.
