How is this possible- Brand new wakesurf boat doesn’t make a good enough wake to surf? Now everyone will tell you to add lead?

Doesn’t it have 4000lbs ballast stock?

Are these new boats that sensitive to setup?

Use to surf our 04 Moomba LSV with one 750lb bag in the back corner..I am expecting our new Max to have twice the size wave.

It’s not only possible. It’s true. Most boats need a decent crew load or lead. Hard to get a surf boat to produce a killer wave with 1-2 crew on board.

No replacement for displacement and the bigger the boat, the more mass required to displace.

Take for example a max vs SA same size hulls.

Max is 4500# with 4000# ballast
SA is 5800# with 3500# ballast

Out of the box, that is 800# difference in displacement. Assuming an SA can surf good with a light crew out of the box, the max would need 800# of crew or lead to compete.

Most would add 300-500# more lead to an SA.


However, I am sure the OP with practice and understanding will improve his stock wake immensely with time. But lead or crew will only help the wave.
