    Next time we surf I'll drain the bilge weight and then add the 350 bags to the surf side. I'll start with the two in the back and go from there. I'll see how it does and report back.

    I notice a lot of people's waves seem to curl around behind them and mine seems rather straight. Does that make a difference?

    How fast do you normally go mikey?

    Hmm well some people insist in driving in circles, maybe that could be what you are seeing? We drive straight and our wave is always straight as seen in this pic from previous post:

    We go 10.5-11.5. I have a feeling you'll get it dialed soon heheh!

    Thanks for all the info mikey. I'll see what happens next time we try it out.

    Hey I'm always happy to chat - sharing shortens the learning curve for us all, right? Please let me know, too, what works best for you. I'm always willing to try other weight configurations too!

    How many hulls does supra have?? I know from 82-96 mainly three with different cap configuarations. Has anyone created a weight deplacement diagrams of the most effective sacking placements with respect to hulls??

    FRONT


    PORT MID STAR MID


    PORT REAR STAR REAR

    EQUAL REAR

    Can't get the diagram to look right. But if someone with better computer knowledge can create a template which we can enter our findings it would greatly improve the learning curve.

    My boat...

    We had the front gravity games bag in the back locker (roughly 900#), a 750# sac on the floor, a 750# sac on the seat, a 400# sac in the front locker, a 450# guy (red shirt), a pair of 250# guys, plus me (165#) and one other guy maybe about 150#. Sunk to the rub rail and the wave was sweet, it was as deep as it was tall...

    Looks solid bird dog!! I usually have to run weight in the non-surfside if i put a ton of weight on the surfside in order to clean up the top of the wave.

    The lean looks bada$$!!

    I have probably surfed myself and others about 60 hours on the boat since March, so I've had a chance to really check out various configs on the 21V. There is absolutely a point of diminishing return. I have 650 pounds in the rear port lock, 650 in the front locker, then I fill up two 550 pounds, one directly behind the driver, then one on the floor.

    Where the extra weight is nice is if you are surfing port side, in which extra weight is needed to offset the driver. I can definitely notice it then. But I cant really get it any bigger than when I load it as mentioned above on starboard. Looks about the same if I have that weight and 8 people in the boat, or that config and 1 person in the boat.

    Agreed. I have come to the same conclusion after playing with mine for about a year now.
