Hi Matt. There is a lot of really good advice on this thread. Weight, properly placed will turn your boat into a surf beast. But keep in mind that the members on this forum that have a great wave didn’t have that wave out of the box. Lots of experimentation and following the good advice of the good folks on here got them there. Also, most people aren’t riding wireless right away or for very long if they are new to surfing. It does take a while to develop the skill and subtle nuances required to stay on the wave. Take a deep breath, relax and just have fun out there. Every time you get out on the boat is infinitely better than your best day at work. Have fun and learn a little bit bit every time you get on your wakesurfer and you’ll be riding wireless before you know it. Cheers
