I know ballast will make the wake bigger, but is the Tige TAPS system enough to be able to surf without adding weight? I am looking at buying a 2004 24v.

MoodySurf:
Ballast definitely helps. we have a 07 22 Ve w factory ballast (twin rear tanks and v-bag upfront and it was not enough for good surfing despite taps. Weight/size of rider is another factor - smaller folks need less. We got a 500lb fatsac w manual fill from Chptril and works like a charm and whole setup was cheap. HUGE difference. my 2 cnt.

yeah man go with some ballast... I got a 20i and was frustrated because I couldn't go ropeless without ballast but for a second or two.... had CHP order me a vdrive jumbo sac (1100#s) and now I can surf without the rope no problem! Its alot more enjoyable this way. It was cheap too! And I would go thru CHPTHRIL because he is fast and reliable!! Ordered on monday telling him I needed it by the weekend and he had it at my door by wednesday!! He's the man!
