    Hip in wake

    I can not seem to get this hip out of the center of my surf wake!! I have an 09 Z1, 750 v sac up front , 750 rear locker , 750 center sac , between 3 to 5 people on the boat sitting on the rider side ! The wake is huge but I cant seem to get that hip out of it !! Any suggestions ???

        No but ill get some !! About mid way up the wake there is a little kick out or "hip" protruding , if you stay below it your fine but as soon as i hit it it will kick me out of the wake ! Im wondering if i have my sac's set up wrong or if its a characteristic of the boat !!

          does it start at the edge of your swim platform?

              I'm with lwndr, maybe the swim platform is digging into the wake with all that extra weight. I don't have ballast so not an issue with my '10 Z1. I'm sure its the same platform too. I think others with the larger VE platform have had some issues with their wake as well.

                  Probably swim platform. I think we see what you are describing quite a bit on our RZ2. First thing, if you are filling the front sacs I would dump those. We tend to surf with just myself and one other guy leaving only one person in the boat. Try moving yourself around in the boat as you are driving to find where adding weight will help. We have a Fat Sac just hanging out to act as 'another body' on the boat. We have found that putting that sac on the seat right under where the tower meets the boat helps a ton.

                  Good luck. Here is a recent pic of our surf wake.
