22Ve/RZ2 Custom Surf sac

[Timmy!]

are you running any on the starboard side? Pocket looks pretty long!

[Micah]

nothing in the starboard storage. Timmy hit me up before you start your ballast install. I have quite a bit of extra parts laying around.

[DieselPWR]

Whew! ?Thats a sexy looking wave you got going on there. I'm assuming you and the wife ride regular?

[chpthril]

Thanks for the pics Micah Wave looks sweet

X2, I have lots of connections left over.

Just received two custom 83x21x22 sacks today. Quicker than I expected--I ordered them Monday, April 27, so about a week and a half turn around (dropped shipped directly from Barefoot Intl).

Judging by the bulge in Micah's filled on the lawn pic, the sacks should fit the RZ2 well. Will report after this weekend.

Thanks chpthril! Excellent experience ordering from you, as always.

Hay Duncan, any pics yet of the sac? Hope they are working out Isn't your 09 equipped with the in-floor ballast? If so, I'd love some feed back on how that sac fits.

If not, then who ever is was that had the 09 with in-floor ballast, let us know how the sac fits, thanks!

Hey Guys - I have the two custom sacs in the rear of our rz2. I got the dark side dialed in with about a 4-6 foot pocket with the starboard side full (as full as it will get with the built in cooler) and the port side about 1/4 full - speed 11.6 taps @ 4/5. This alows me to ride forever.
However, I am the only one that rides goofy. I can not get the port side dialed in. I had the port side sac full and the starboard empty, then played with the mix of weight, speed and taps. Nothing is giving me the wave that I get on the dark side.
I need help.

My buddy yesterday rode goofy because the wave is that much better.

What's happening with the wake? Got any pics?

[Booms]

Dogbert - No pics. Did not have the camera with me. Will not have pics until next week.
It looks like it is all washout. I can not get a clean pocket to ride in. Do I need weight up front? Less weight in the rear? help!

I had ame issue and found speed was the fix. We ride at 12mph now with a clean wake all weight in the rear. The up in speed also moved the pocket back so I don't feel like I am on top of the platform. Have not tried weight up front yet but from our last results I don't need to. I will get pictures next time out.

Other than speed, more weight does help to a point. It sounds like the wake is falling over because it's too steep.

[Micah]

Booms, also sounds like you need some weigh up front.

For my 2008 RZ2 - I have a u-shapped fly high sac (~500lbs) in the front. I have 1 xc 250 LB stock in the port rear locker, I then add a V-drive sac in teh port rear locker. I put another V-drive sac under the port passenger storage area. If I really want a big wake, we put another V-drive sac on top of the passenger seat. Speed at 11.4 and taps set to 5

One thing that made a big difference was getting the 09 swim deck. It made the wake bigger and the pocket much longer

[chpthril]

Add weight up front last. We found that this hull does best without weight upfront, at least in our opinion. Try with the port side sac 100% full, none on the starboard or up front, and TAPS about mid way. Speed will clean the wake up, to a point, then you get too fast and the boat starts to plane. Speed also lengthens the pocket. W started out with most of the weight on the surf side, weight up front, a little weight on the non-surf side, and ended up going with all our weight just in the corner of the surf side. Everybody is looking for a different wake, so it all comes down to personal pref.

Got the custom sac out to play last week. Biggest wake I have seen yet! Had some guys drop in off of their Supra to do some surfing. Their wake was 1/2 the size, wanted to ride the Tige'!! Filled the sac full and had 2-3 people on the wake side, made an insane curl! Thanks Mike! This thing rocks! Looking forward to the black one!
