I must be getting old because I won't ride much anymore unless the water is like that. The place we have been going the last 15 years every 4th there are usually the same people or groups every year. I've seen a black Makai on a galvanized trailer a few years and finally got to talk to them and ask why galvanized. We don't have any brackish water around here and you rarely see a wakeboat on Puget Sound. He said the people who custom ordered the boat opted for that trailer, then never bought the boat. Go figure.
I'll have to see if anyone got picks of my son on the foil. He had a ton of slack on the 2nd wave but never dropped the rope. Considering he's about 6'7" he looks like he's WAY above the water. LOL
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?
2001 MobiusV - Slightly Modified...
After 14,217 360 attempts and still not riding one out I've started trying to get some airs as this Doomswell is a pretty fast board. It will probably only take another 13,478 tries before I get fins out of the water.
My 'little boy' towering over the foil... Neither of us have been able to free ride yet but he's come the closest.

Ballast Mods: (aka TINRFD): 1500lb of lead (you read that right) and +700lb WM Bags

If I had to do it over again, I would have replumbed add'l ballast bags the SL. I would give up some under the seat space.
I usually carry 800-1000#s of lead and trailer the boat. Having just fixed some issues on a different trailer, it got me thinking of the weight on the boat axels.
2018 Supra SL400
I always figured that tige were using the same axles on my z3/r23 trailers as they were on the larger surf barges and they were quite a bit heavier than mine. storage was maxed with ballast so lead was the only option to gain another 500 each side.
the 2025 sl is almost a grand dry weight over yours so if supra is using the same axles should be a non issue.
