    Default 24SSV for surfing?

    Hi guys,

    Somewhat new owner of a 24SSV (got it last year) Love all the space and wakeboard wake with all ballast hidden!
    But I tore my ACL this winter, so no wakeboarding for me this summer... I'm trying to get into surfing now so I can at least do something while out on the boat...
    I tried searching, but couldn't really find much info for weight setup.

    What are people using for a weight setup for a nice wave? (I'm regular foot)

    Any other tips or modifications?
    I'm going on a lake vacation at the end of the month so I'd like to get things dialed in by then.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank You!

    Not sure if that's the exact hull as our 242 but here's the way we set ours up. https://forum.supraboats.com/showthr...ead-242-Launch

    It's been a great surf boat, wouldn't trade our wake for any others I've seen.

    Thanks!

    Does anybody have any 24SSV specifics?

    I guess I'll just stuff as much weight as I can on the surf side and see how it goes...
    (I do have a lot of different ballast bags, so I suppose it won't be too hard to experiment)

    Should I be thinking about getting Fresh Air Exhaust too?

    Ouch on the ACL. As far as the wave ..... Easy .... Swap the rear surfside for an 1100 lb v drive sack. Fill that and the bow all the way up. Play with the speed and we like the wakeplate around half. It will be very easily surfable. We occasionally add some non surf side weight depending on how many people are in the boat.

    To take it the next step further, throw an extra sack on the surf-side locker and if you have another take it to the bow. Will want to play with the wakeplate.

    Pics because ....

    Thank You Guys, that's exactly the info I'm looking for!
    I don't have an 1100lb sac yet (I have a feeling I'll be buying one soon!), but I'll stuff as much as I can in the rear corner as I can to try it out (maybe a sac on top too!)
    KG's Supra24: When adding an extra sac to the bow, is it in the middle? or do you position it to the surf side?

    Yeah, I'm a bit bummed about the ACL, 2nd time I've torn it now, so I should probably start thinking about taking things down a notch
    I was so loving the wake on this boat last summer too (been wanting one ever since I went down to WWC camp years ago and rode Trevor Hansen's slammed 24SSV)

    The boat can def make a great wake.

    We just throw the bow bag across the front with the goal of just getting more of the boat in the water. The rear sack should have you leaned over pretty good. I've only done the bow sack a couple times. It's definitely not needed.

    Surfed behind a GG edition 24 many times. 1100lbs in the rear locker, full center sack, and everyone on the surf side of the boat.

    ok, looks like the 1100 is definitely the way to go... I just went ahead and ordered one.
    Thanks for your help

    While I'm on a spending spree, should I drop the money on FAE?
    Is it really helpful for surfing?

    Up to you on that one. Doesn't help your wave at all, all it does is shoot the exhaust into the water. It helps quiet down the boats engine noise with you behind it, and also pushes the exhaust fumes in the water to decrease CO poisoning. I personally would have no use for one.
