Has anybody wakesurfed behind the yamaha AR230? If so how was it, and do the jets make it harder to wakesurf?

As i understand, all the jet boats dont' really produce nice wakes before planing speed. Its just sorta jetwash..... <BR> <BR>But i don't have any experence with it!

i ride behind an ar230. it is the only thing i have ridden behind so i can't tell you that it compares to anything. looking at some of the other pictures i think i can get the wake dialed to about the same size as some of the medium inboard wakes. it is pretty easy once you figure out the technique though i haven't been able to ride out a 360 yet. i wouldn't blame that on the wake so much as my lack of coordination.

how much ballast did u add?? right now my wake is pretty small? <BR> thankz for the feedback

also does the perfect pass work with the ar230? because of the twin engine 320 hp motor. <BR> thankz

no ballast and no pp. we usually have 3-4 people on what ever side we are riding. like i said i don't know how the wake compares but you can surf it.

what kind of baord are u riding on???

Do you have any pics of the wake, im really interested to see it since everyone says theres no wake to be had on these jet boats. <BR>~Tyler~

Tyler, I am going to the lake this weekend so i will try to get a picture of the wake. Since the wake was so small i bought 1700# of ballast hoping that will do the trick. <BR> <BR>jerbul, what board are u riding on? <BR>

jerbul, what board are you riding on?

cwb tsunami so it isn't anything special. i was surfing within the first 5 minutes of trying it.
