I recently sold my '04 22SSV and I'm in the market for a new boat (by new I mean new to me). I know the VLX is the Shi* for wakboarding-many of the pros own them. But how are they for wakesurfing? I'm getting a little older and less ballsy on tricks and have started enjoying surfing more than boarding. <BR> <BR>My son is just getting started w/ wakeboarding and I'm sure will progress well with the VLX. What kind of ballast/wedge setups do you guys use? <BR> <BR>Thanks for your input.

mine is a 2007 <BR>the wake surf is good <BR>I use <BR>160 lbs pop bags in bow <BR>full MLS in bow <BR>half to full center MLS <BR>full MLS rear on surf side <BR>750 bag in locker on surf side as full as it will go <BR>wedge all the way down <BR>1 adult driver 2 kids <BR>2 50lb anchors under surf side seats <BR>10.4 mph <BR> <BR> <BR>this wake is pretty good but short <BR> <BR>when I really wanna surf, I also fill a 400 lb bag on top of the surf side seats <BR> <BR>that sinks the side all the way to the rub rail <BR> <BR>wake is great <BR>even bigger if I have more adults <BR>I hear that even more weight in the bow will make the wake longer

IMO it has one of the best surf wakes out there.

cliff, thanks for the info. Anyone else use their VLX primarily for wakesurfing? If so, what kinda setups do you all use? Lets hear it. Thanks

try posting your thread on the wakesurfing topic section. You might get a better response. <BR>For what it's worth, I suggest at least looking at the Centurion Enzo 230.

Daym Dane that wake is waste high great surf wake. My boat is still sitting in the driveway form my wresk 3 weeks ago. It's been in the 100's the last week and I am sitting in the house with my kids doing nothing right now in 105 temp. I am soooooo bummed we are not on the lake right now with just a few more weeks left of summer.
