Can you tell us how you have the boat weighted? What Taps is that...I can't remember what number is on the left side of the gauge. Where are the peeps in the boat?

It's just me in the boat. The wife and little human were chillin' on the beach being bums. So I took he advantage of being able to play.

I did get a successful surf run in later in the evening. I was able to surf with out the rope for about 1-2 mins before falling out of the wave due to inexperience.

The surf sac is prob 80% full (see below). Taps was all the way down. I weigh about 225, and then there is about an additional 110 pounds of batteries on the starboard side. I adjusted the taps to 3 in the video because I see people on here saying they have there TAPS between 3-4. It made the wave a little foamy so I adjusted it back to 1. I would imagine if I had more bodies in the boat I could adjust the taps to those levels.

Add about a 400 pound sac in the front and watch the wave really jack up and get clean. The most I've ran was 10 people in the boat, 750 in driver side rear locker, 600 in the other locker, 370 in the bow and another 250 bag on top of the 370 in the bow. We got that thing legitimately barreling, just big enough for your tail of the board to get shacked but still it was awesome. You know its big when you cut power and the white wash comes washing up on top of the back hatches. We had the boat leaning like no other. To get back to wakeboarding everyone just sat all scattered and then we had a huge wake to board on, no adjusting bags.

Good old pyramid lake, I miss that place. Looks like a great wake for only one person in the boat. On my 22Ve I use 1 400 lb sac and the 150 movable sac on top of it with 3 people on the surf side with one sitting up on the v drive locker and the Taps at 6 I get a great wake. So I imagine if you had more people in the boat you could use a higher Taps setting.

Also I don't have integrated ballast so I get tired of changing the water over to each side so just fill both sides and move the people. Which works really well too.

I was wondering about that. You have any pics from your AWESOMENESS of a wave?
