Here's a few from this last weekend...probably the best wave we've had so far.

Looking good OKe, you've got some room to venture back a bit in the pocket
What board are you ridin'?
2005 Supra Launch 22ssv - yellow/black
It's an older Liquid Force Venture IIRC. Yeah, that was the best wave we've gotten so far. Hopefully we can duplicate it this year and get lots of riding time in.
nice what boat are you using ? i have a 89 mariha wanted to surf behind it didnt know if it was big enough wake i have two 400 lbs sacks.
Okie,
Please let us know what you are riding behind, position of ballast including #'s, and speed. Thanks man! I want to learn as much as I can before I try it this summer.

89 Sunsport...the weight is set up as follows.
400# bag under rear bench seat, ~half full.
400# bag in ski locker, ~half full.
2 350# bags in rear surf side...one next to the motor and all the way back towards the rear seat and one on top of it going onto the rear seat.
We play around with front weight and I think I might have had a few hundred pounds front and center that day. We had 4 adults, 3 kids on the boat.
We run around 10-12 mph...always sketchy on exact speed since no PP, but we typically try to watch speed and rpm's as well as wave shape.
Cool! Thanks! That's very helpful. I have 4 sacs. (2) 540lbs and (2) 350 lbs. I think I will set mine up the same as you. Did you reinforce the ski locker to hold the weight of the bag? If so, can you post up some pics so I can see what I need to do?
I plan on cutting out the plastic under the rear bench to be able to get one bag in there. It would be nice to get another one hidden in the ski locker.

Yes I did reinforce the ski locker. I also rebuilt the rear seat so it was stronger and more roomy.
