@Parrothd- YES! We change course to avoid the shallow areas.

@Goose. Thank you so much for your time. I did read all of your tips of the days the day, and your last post here helps a bunch too.

Some take aways.
1 you guys did the research, defaults are probably best, deltas from that should be minimal.
2 the challenge for the driver seems to be keeping AW from dumping ballast. - Fill ballast full, arrange crew and gear evenly, set surfing to manual and adjust pitch, speed, and people, until wave is looking favorable. Once achieved, flip on AW to get real time settings and then use those setting in AW. If they are far off default settings something may be a miss. Hence try to set the attitude up so ballast dumping will be minimal.
3. I need to look at the draft sensors. - where do I find more information? what it looks like, where its located, how to adjust.
4. I Need to burn some gas in a manual mode and simply get more accustom to adjusting the display and wake settings.


Question- Whether I have 1000lbs of ballast, or 10,000lbs is the best shape of the wave achieve by that -3.5 roll setting? In other words If you were to magically roll the boat 90 degrees left. The Prop be half out of the water, and the starboard hull would be straight up in the air. Obviously this wont work, so by rolling it back down to -3.5 +/- is that what we are after? How does more ballast relate to that?


and yes, you are correct. The daughter just loves the boat and going surfing, and this is something we enjoy together. I tell her all the time "not everybody gets this."
