    I am not familiar with the 2100V, but every Tige I have seen puts out a good wake on both sides, you just have to learn how to dial it in. Sometimes one side may be more "touchy" than the other, one side easier to dial. Just weight that rear corner to get the rubrail within about 2 inches at rest, so that at speed the water is at or close to the rubrail, but the rubrail should be above water. The shoter boats also usually need weight up front to lengthen the wave, I like to start with people on bow, maybe 2 people on surf side, but start with 1.

    Experiment when conditions are clear and as flat as possible, and never weight past what the conditions deem safe. Start at about 11mph or so, you can go as low as 10.5 usually, and as high as 12.5 or so. Boat speedos very, if you have an iphone or similar with GPS, use it to check your speedo. My RZ2 is off by about .5 MPH, and my Ve was off about 1mph.

    Hope that helps. Have fun, and be safe.

    Oh, one more thing, it really helps to pull new people from the side of the boat, not the top. We made a special "surf tow" to do this, but you can just loop the rope around the top corner. It keeps the rider on the side of the boat, and doesn't pull them in the mush, or cause them to have to "drop in" after getting up.
    Hopefully I can grab some fat friends to put my "rubrail" closer to the water! lol.. thanks for the input... sorry for the crappy vids.. and I realize that I need a surf rope.. I have one.. everyone keeps saying that but I just forgot it that day. Oh well.. never again! and her Dad will be 'learned' as soon as I can teach him to use a 'confuser'.. I have other friends that will know what to do...thank you for the reply man!
