    That would work like a charm. Where we boat, 2.5 minutes to empty a 400# sac is good. The conditions here don't change at any given minute. We can tell if there is going to be a bad day 3-6 hours before we boat.

    However, if that earthquack comes, we are screwed.

        sometimes we have found that the direction of the boat can affect the wake, we turn slightly opposite of the wave side which gets rid of the white riffle coming off the ski platform when heavily weighted. the 24's def need lots of ballast to make a killer wave. i have a factory system and then i added a enzo surf sac to each side. run two tsanamis to drain and fill

          Well, there's often storms building from nothing in less than an hour. Combine that with unpredicatable direction and you can quickly have the wind go from 0-60+ Mph in a few seconds. After that all hell breaks loose and all bets are off.

          I was thinking of the larger Enzo sacs for surfing. Fill time for those has to be about 10 minutes or so.

            I'm not sure where that is, but that's not the origin of the name.

            I know a guy who's looking to build a surf specific boat. He just needs someone who can work with him to build a boat.

                Ooops, didn't make the connection. I did see that movie. However, I grew up on the east coast (LI).
