Wake Surfing set up

[max]

I have a 2006 24ve with no ballast. I do have plenty of fat sacs. What is the best set up you have seen and is it better to have some weight in the bow or just to keep as much weight as posible in the rear? Riders who weight 165 lbs or less have no problem surfing without the rope, but those who are around 200lbs cannot stay in the wake without the rope. Looking for a better set up. thanks

I have a 24v and stack 2 fly-high 400# in the back locker and use the bow U sac.

You need to put some weight in the bow to make the sweet spot on the wake longer.

10.5-11.5 taps 3-6

We run about 600lbs in the front and 8-900lbs on the side we are surfing plus another 700 on the opposit side. Here are a couple pics, I weigh 195lbs and can stay in until my legs get tired. Taps at 6-8 and speed 11-12.5 mph.

Sweet!! Why do you put 700 on the opposite side? To balance the boat? Is the 600 in the front sitting on the seats or on the floor?

[Big Wave]

The 600 in the front is the Fly High U shaped intigrated bow sac that fits under the seats, the rear sacs are in the back locker and under the side seats. After alot of expeirmenting, we found that weight on both sides gave us a better wave. We do have any people that are in the boat sit on the side we are surfing.

I think surfdad also says that putting some weight into the opposite side of boat reduces the lip on top of the wave.

For surfing on our 24ve we run 750 full in rear on surf side, half full 750 on opposite side rear, full front 300 on side of surfing, and half full front on opposite side. Put everyone on the side that is being surfed and you'll be good. If you want a longer wave with less curl, put people in the bow, if you want a shorter, taller wave put everyone in the back corner of the surf side.

have the 24ve....and have similar issue as described. We have (2) 540# ballast bags that I'm experimenting where to put. I must need more weight because have not free surfed yet for more than 10 sec's or so.

We have both goofy and reg surfers. So one experiment was to fill one in each back locker for bigger wake, then move all people to surfing side for the leaning wake. It's ok, but not there yet. The hassle is swapping from Reg to goofy & back. It would be nice to be able to move these beomoths, but you can't.

I probably need more bag(s) and another pump. My next thought is to try putting:
one 540# in front for longer wave
One on the surfing side back locker
the 3rd empty
Then drain from one bag to other to go from goofy/regular.

Or
Maybe getting some fat bricks we have more easily move around.

THis is getting to be an expensive sport to just get up and free ride....
Does that make sense--or any other ideas appreciated.

One thing we have found is that the goofy side likes taps at 6.5-8 while the regular side needs taps at 5-6. totaly washes out at 7-8.

Big Wake.

Are you putting sacs on top of on another or in another location for surfing? I want to try to do what you are doing in terms of wake size but need the extra bag and want to know where you are putting it/

Coach when you water test you boat on Sunday I can give you my 400# so we can test the double sac idea.
