He said he was under NDA, so I think you may have to wait.

He can show the wave though.

Sorry. Yes I am under a do not disclose on the platform. As soon as I can show them I will.

But I can tell you the RZ4 with a new platform will surf. And SURF big.

Here are some shots. We can get this wave over waist high. We found that the RZ4 likes to have a lot of weight all the way around the back side. It does not need to lean to the surf side as much as most boats. We could get it very tall with the boat leaning but not real long.

We found the best balance of weight was. All factory ballast full front and both rears. I have 700 pounds under the passenger side seat. Then we put a 750 across the back seat. We found that the 750 works best laying all the way across the back seat.

We tired 1500 pounds on the passenger side and 700 under it and was sitting very sideways. But was a pain to turn. We then tried more in the front.

Found the best was adding more to the rear and doing about a 70/30 split. So additional weight is needed on the non surf side.

We then had 6 people in the boat sitting wherever. Did not seem to make too much difference once we got it dialed in.

I am getting some lead pop bags for the rear storage as I think that will help as well. So there is still some more I want to try out and see.

That's a good lookin' wave

[da.bell]

I agree, you don't see the "white line" running thru that wake.

[Timmy!]

NICE!!!! I see the line is definitely gone! I agree about the hull not liking weight in the front, we played around with that yesterday and it just doesn't do much for length of the pocket. I don't see the RZ's making a long pocket but they can definitely produce a tall wave.

Thanks for showing what you can!

**I see you photoshopped the platform out**

[Matt Garcia]

Interesting. Two things come to mind,

How short is the platform and will existing RZ2 and RZ4 owners be able to just swap the platform (ie keep existing platform supports)?

[wetsounds1]

Nope No photoshop!!! You just cant see the platform in these pics!!

It uses the same supports
