Post your biggest surf wave pic

[CarZin]

Thank you. I believe when I put the same ballasts in the boat, with the addition of 3 or 4 people in the corner, and a couple people in the front, I'll get it much better.

Mikey,

Is that all the weight you run?

I'm running 800 pounds in the rear all the way across, plus 500 up front in the bilge area center.

Then I add two 350# bags in the back corner...one on the floor next to the engine up against the rear seat and the other on top of lap overlapping onto the seat. Then I add one 350# up front in the bow on the surf side. I still don't seem to have the kind of wave it seems like I should have with all that weight.

Wylie, did it look something like this?

Ok, so I have read through most of this topic and haven't seen anyone with a late model DD and how they are weighting it.

2003 Launch DD here. Typically we throw a 350 in the rear locker, stock plumbed bag under the rear seat, 540 in center locker and a 540 on whichever side depending on the stance of the person surfing, Tab all the way up.

We bought a 5 11 hyperlite because we knew it was tough to get the push on a DD. This setup works pretty well and we can go without the rope on most days.

Anyone got any advice?

Thinking of toying with the weight distribution next week while we are up....

Putting 540 in rear locker and using the 350 to place on either side of the doghouse. Possibly moving the 540 from the center locker to the bow.

Thoughts?

There was a post on the previous page.

I'm just learning how to get mine weighted well.

I tried a bag under my rear seat, another tube sack on the floor in front of the rear seat. the 750 fat sack beside the engine on the surf side, and another sack filling the cooler up front. I would estimate around 1200+ pounds of ballast??

1992 Supra Sunsport, wakeplate fully up. Somewhere between 11 and 11.5mph

Trayson--try and slow down a bit...that helped me. I think I surf around 9mph. It should help with the push.

Okay, I'll def give that a shot. I know there's a lot of trial and error to all of this.

• Amount of Ballast
• Location of Ballast
• Speed of boat
• Distance of rider behind the transom
• Type of board you're riding
• Rider skill level

You forgot to add if the tractor beam has been deactivated or not.

My God Spock - did he say tractor beam? That's how it all began for me back on stardate 10/11/09...

Trayson - let me know when you get it figured out - still working on mine.

Well, it'll be a while before I figure it out... I just dropped the boat off at my local boat dealer. Slipping tranny again. I'm on vacation in NYC next week, so hopefully they have it figured out by the time I get back.
