gibbs,
grab you an inclinometer phone app and check your list angle as well, will help you dial it in a repeatable manner.

Oh and that's looking good.

List is about 8 deg

gibbs,
did you run some other setups like you said. Also, did you get to surf it?

[Tomp]

Do you measure the list at a standstill or at surf speed?
Would it vary a little.

[gibbs114]

It was measured at a standstill. I did try a few other setups this weekend but the above was best. I'll post more pics in a few minutes.

Gibbs, Don't know if you saw this quote from Ragboy on setting up the wave for the Z1/Z3's that was a buried little gem in one of the other threads.

Let me tell you how we dial in the Z1 and the Z3, and its pretty much the same with or without VX.

Start with the regular side because its a bit easier. Fill up front all the way, fill up surf side rear all the way, and put people so that heavier on surf side. Add weight to the opposite side until you get about 8 or 9 degrees of list. Set taps around 3 and go 11. If the wake has a cut or double lip, take some more out of opposite side. If the wake is clean but a bit rolled over, add weight to the opposite side until you see that cut in the wake, and then back off til it just goes away. Usually the best shape (unless you like it rolled over) is just when that cut disappears.

Do the same thing for the goofy side, but start with 11-12 degrees of list, the goofy side needs a bit more list and more sensitive to people on the opposite side.

Let me know if that helps.
