My son is wondering if the 22i wake is suitable for slalom and / or barefooting ? He mostly uses his sky ski, but also likes to barefoot and slalom occasionally . we have other family members that want to wakeboard and wake surf .. will the 22i with the factory ballast system be a good choice .. thanks ..

you may have to change the prop depending on what speed your son foots at but otherwise, great boat for just about anything. i have slolomed, boarded, and had a couple buddies foot behind mine. one thing to keep in mind is that your son will have to deep water start, or you will have to fab a boom. i could not find a boom that would fit mine.
great choice! and have fun!

Your son should love the barefoot wake. At footing speeds you can adjust the taps to put a hard edge for tumbles and tricks (keeps you from being pulled in behind the boat) or to a smooth ramp to better wake cross for slalom barefooting.
As for the boom issue, go get yourself a Tower Boom from Barefoot International. I stock them (if you can not find one) and thay are quite slick!!!
I can email you pictures of them on a TIGE` 22v if you need to see one.
That tower boom will work on just about any solidly built tower.
JMHO

Anticipation is killing me.

I just got off of the phone with the dealer and he said that I might be able to pick up my boat this weekend.

Can't wait I want it now.

I know the feeling! you just cant get it out of your mind! I'll bet you keep thinking of everything from what it's going to be like in and behind the boat, to what your rig is going to look like and how it will tow! Am I CLOSE??!?!?!? Let me just say that I'm STILL enamoured with my 22v (check my gallery!).

I know the feeling for sure. If you want your boat quick, just do fatcory options. Mine has been here for a few weeks, but waiting on manufatcurers for a bunch of "custom" things I wanted to do on the boat.
It will be awesome when it gets done, but the wait is like toothpicks under my eyelids!

I have a 21i and my wake is huge compared to the vlx by malibu. I hear the 22i is that much bigger, since it's a bigger boat. People say it's all about the same just better seating in the 22i since it's a bit longer.
