Finaly got the surf wake dialed in pics

[Big Wave]

It has to figure that it would be the last trip of the year that we get our wave dialed in. Better late than never.
All it took was about 700 lbs of water and another 500 lbs of people all in the back corner. No weight in the front and no weight on the port side. Also found that it was best going streight or even a little to the port side away from the rider. I couldn't believe how much punch it had.
Well next year we will try another 300 lbs of water and hope it gets evan better . Either way I will sleep good this winter.

Guys have been telling me to put weight up front, but I have found all in the back works best for my particular setup. Being a 2005, mine will ride slightly different, but I have found the same thing.

It generally seems easier to get a terrific wave on the starboard side. For me, it requires about half the weight (600 vs 1300 pounds) to get the same size and shape of wave.

The fourth pic above looks likes you have a man made dike in the background...or is that just an extraordinarily straight sand bar?

Nice Pics! Thanks for sharing.

It looks awesome! Is that Lake Meade? Have you tried any weight up front, I find that weight up front lengthens the pocket. It's good to see that there are other "goofy" (starboard) riders out there.

I have the same boat, and I tried weight up front also, it just doesn't help. All the weight in back seems the best.

Nice wake and nice boat!

I found the same to be true. I put about 700 lbs of water in the back corner and had another 1000 lbs of bodies on that same side. Putting weight up front helped lengthen the pocket so we would put another 3 or 4 people up in the front on the same side as the rider. Overall I have been very happy with the results. Good and bad is that I have to have 7-9 people go out to surf each time.

nice wake. I wonder if you weight set up would be different depending on which swim platform you have(rounded one(v's and ve's) VS. squared off ones(RZ's)

That is Sandy Point on Lake Mead. All natural.

Yes it is the north end of lake Mead. We hav an integraded bow sack we use for wake boarding. We have found that weirhting the front lengthens the pocket but reduces the punch of the wave. Perhaps if we added more weight to the back we could add a little to the front.

Looking good there BW we too are leaning to the "no weight up front" side and liking the results.
