Richmond VA huh? My wife is pushing me hard to move to Chesapeake VA. Where do you ride down there? Ocean?? Not too many lakes like up here in the northeast.

We ride at lake anna about an hour away.Chesapeake is not far from the james river and lake gaston.There is another river close to chesapeake besides the york river also.I would guess we have at least 10 to 12 lakes within a 2 hour drive.

Picture is with the upgarded ballast and just 2 people in the boat, just playing around. Had close to 1000lbs in rear surf side and bow tanks 25% full. I didn't realize the bow had anything in it at all, and it was starting to rain so we cut it short.

Nice! Set your speed in the 10.6 range and then play with the taps and you will be all set!

Do you ever take it in the bay? I was told up in the fingers in the brakish water would be a great place to go.

That was 11.2 TAPS at 4. Can't wait to get a crew in the boat and start surfing. We were surfing last year behind my 2009 Regal 2200 with an I/O. Had to trim the heck out of it and sit people basically on the stern surfside. Not real pretty, but we made it work and got a few people around here into it. Now I bought this RZ2 and my buddy bought a 24VE. Gonna start pushing these up here.

That wave looked to be in the 11's which is perfectly rideable. I've found that on mine if you slow it down a bit, you can get the wave to hook a little more on the back which gives it more push and it will give you a little more height as well. Everyone has their own preference though and the board you ride also makes a difference.

NO All my boats have only been in freshwater.

Very nice! Congrats and welcome!

Sick looking colors! Welcome to the club! Your going to love the Tige Touch!

I noticed you hang your mirror from the swing window, at speed in rough water that thing may bang around (opened). I instead now mount my mirror above the glove box (left of the window hinge) and can see surfer/wakeboarder just as well and I don't have to have the window closed all the time while we board/surf.

I see what you mean. Rode for the first time yesterday. 10.8 TAPS @ 4. Sick wave. Off tomorrow, going to spend all day out playing around to see what works. Yesterday was just a 2 hour practice session.
