    Default I need help figuring out the wake on my 06 Launch 21V?

    I am new to wake surfing. I recently bought an 06 Launch 21V that says "Official Gravity Games" on the side. It has a long sac in the center that I'm guessing is about 1000lbs and two small ones in the rear lockers. I'm assuming that they are all stock but I'm not 100% sure. I've tried several different ways but we haven't been able to figure out how to make a wake good enough to let go of the rope. What do I need to do??? I'm getting frustrated by watching all of these youtube videos making it look so simple.

    How many people do you have on the boat?

    Usually 4 or 5 but I've had as many as 9-10 before.

    Did you see my video that posted on here. In that video i had 4 guys in the boat. I had the left rear sack filled and the center bag about half full. I also had the wake plate about 1/4 of the way down. I was going about 11mph.. If you have a picture or video of your wake post it and I might be able to help you dial it in

    I'll give that a try. We're headed out this weekend and I'll try to shoot a video. Seems like I've tried everything...all full, left full, center and left, wake plate up, wake plate down. Where were your 4 guys sitting? I always have someone sitting on the left rear corner and everyone else on the left side.

    Yea, I wouldn't recommend no driver either

    You can take a lot of the work out of it by upgrading bags in the rear. The factory setup is going to have a tough time throwing a good surf wave. The 750's fit good in the rear of that boat. You likely just need more weight surf side rear corner.

    It could also be the board your riding and your size. My boat throws a pretty good wave with a bunch of people on it, but being 6' and 230, I can't let go of the rope when riding a 54" fiberglass board. Measure the bags and that will tell you their maximum capacity. This is from wakemakers.com and not a complete list but you get the idea.

    Dimensions:

    400lbs – 42″ x 16″ x 16″
    565lbs – 42″ x 19″ x 19″
    750lbs – 50″ x 20″ x 20″
    1,100lbs – 50″ x 24″ x 24″
    1,450lbs – 108″ x 25″ x 25″

    I just bought 750 bags from wakemakers. For two bags (black) two thread adapters/plugs, 4 elbow connectors and two air breeders wither the superpowers code total cost was 330 with free shipping. I'm going to extend my lines myself.

    I just ran across 730 lbs of steel plates that came off the front of a tractor. They are about 1.5 inches thick and 80 lbs each. I have 9 of them. Any thoughts or comments?
