Surf's Up....Is 38,000#'s of Ballast Enough?

[chpthril]

We've been trying to put this together for a month now and things finally fell into place yesterday.

Last night, we (the group from HQ Marine) took out a 52' Cruiser Yacht for a little surfing. And it was just AWESOME We knew the wake was going to be a monster, but never imagined how great it was going to be. We surfed at about 14.5 and the wake was as clean as most any inboard, but 6'-7' tall

Before anybody jumps on the "safety bandwagon" this boat is a twin diesel V-drive with side-swipe

We will definitely ride at the reunion.

Wife is doing good, thanks. She is still taking it easy on the wakeboard for a few more weeks. Thanks for asking.

Let me no, I'm not sure if I will be working Sat or not yet.

Ok, I will. Glad to here she is doing ok. That was some of the worst pain I have ever been in when I went throught it.

[Costigan]

Yeah buddy!!! That's awsome.

[ragboy]

That is cool. Too bad you couldn't list that sucker over a bit and see what it would do to the wake.

Very cool.

[chpthril]

The best wake was actually both trim tabs down, and both sides were clean and long. Next time we do it, we will take a 2nd line and do doubles.

[Timmy!]

Wow! That is coool man!

[samw]

That is awesome!!!!!!!

[zad0030]

I would hate to be on the lake during that!!!

[dogbert]

Here in Texas, they Tanker surf all the time on the inter coastal waterway.

[Moki]

That is so cool! What an awesome wake to surf behind.

I love the Captains dreadlock-fro hair
