I'm a bit confuse on what setup to start with ! i definately want the biggest et longest surf wave possible... but i do want a big wake wave to ! i love to make big wave to wave jump (less the injury it may come with ) so that's why i though to put the plate up and put more ballast in the bow as i usually do, to 'compensate' maybe ?. wich one of the two below you think it make more sens ??

1-plate up (bigger wave) + more weight in the bow (make it longer) and when wakeboarding since the plate is up i may be able to still have a nice wave.

2- plate down (longer wave) + most of the weight in the back (make it bigger) and do some R&D with the ballast to see if i can have a nice wake wave..
