My gut is that it is more technique at this point. with 2300 lbs of stock I was surfing ropeless at 175 lbs with a variety of boards(skim, surf, longboard style, etc). I went 2 months with the stock weight and it surfed with 2-3 in the boat.


Adding all the extra weight helps the hull on the Mondo as with lighter weight it does not surf as well as other boats with less weight. The wave works really well for a 20 footer with weight...but it lacks push without it...unfortunately that is kinda how the boat surfs. It makes an awesome wave if you are willing to play with it more.


Wish I had a better story for you. I guarantee with 6-8 in the boat...you would have an awesome wave!
