New boat: Supreme V212
 

I came back from the Polar Bear so excited about the boats that I decided to buy a Supreme. The V226 was my favorite at the event. I found a Supreme that will work well for pulling behind our truck long distances on summer vacation as well as taking it to our local riding spots.
Charlie from Supreme and Jay T. here on WW (surfs his V212) were both very helpful with their knowledge of the boat and helping me decide if it would fit our needs. The boat is in WA and I am 8hrs away in ID. It's a new 2011 V212. Supreme no longer makes the V212 but it will make a fun surf boat and fit in our garage.
Here is a link to pictures of it:

I can't wait till the 19th when we can drive to WA and pick it up.

Sue thats sweet love the colors cant go wrong with black and red

Thanks Harold. We will have to meet up sometime so you guys can surf it.

I'm curious to see what you think, I loved the 226 but am curious how the 212 compares.

NICE! You're gonna love your Supreme. Congrats!

Sue maybe we can meet up for lunch or something when you come to get your boat. Pacific boatland is just across the river from us

Harold lets do it! I will keep you posted on when we will be there for sure.

Ben, the V212 is a narrower, shorter hull with a deeper V than the 226. It weighs a lot less for towing. I know it won't be the same wave as the V226. Since I have summers off, we like to travel with our boat to N Id and MT to take friends and family surfing on some of the most beautiful lakes and rivers you can imagine. I needed both a really nice wave and not too big of boat for towing. So this one fit the bill. I plan to get out the drysuit and surf it, so we will get some pics of the wave.

Sweet looking boat sue congrats. Let us know how it surfs. If its anything close to the v226 like we had at the polar bear it will be great. Enjoy.

That is a really clean and nice looking boat Sue, I am sure with a bit of time and your love of a GREAT wave you are going to get that sucker dialed. Have fun!

Thanks Dave and Robert. It will be fun to dial in a new wave!

I knew it was shorter and narrower, but I didn't know it was deeper. I would like to have a small boat to fit in my garage but want a good wave as well. Since I know you have ridden the best I know I can trust your feedback. Congrats on the new boat!

Congrats!
 

Congratulations Sue!! It was great meeting you and your husband at Polar Bear.

Sue, fan flipping tactic! I love new toys and that one is beautiful! Nice paint job. Now if that wont keep ya smiling I don't know what will. You will have to fill us in on how ya end up weighting it down. Can't wait to see you behind it. Thanks for sharing. Keep smiling!

Thanks Steve and Rob. We had so much fun at the Polar Bear with all you guys!
Yes, that Supreme will keep me smiling for sure Rob :) I can't wait to post pics of me surfing behind it. Just bought some 7 mm booties to wear with my drysuit, so I can ride that Supreme wave after we pick the up on the 19th.

Welcome to the Supreme family!

Post some pics of your wake... LOVE to see it!

Congrats Sue! I cant wait to ride it! Great colors! I went out yesterday in my dry-suit! it was aabout 45 degrees water and 45 air! But it was fun none the less!!

Have Harold buy you lunch! He's that kind of guy! Nice Fellow!

I'd say dibs on second ride, but it's a little too chilly for me now sue..

be more than happy to hold the flags :)

Tony, Harold will have to buy lunch since I will be out of money! lol

Scott, glad you are coming to be my spotter. I had soo much fun in your new Tige last summer, that I had to have a new boat too:D It will be fun trading rides next summer.

Hey Scott, Now I get it!! it took me a second to realize that no one holds the flags in our boat since the are mounted on the tower. That way you can keep your hands warm and we can try out the new heater.

something tells me that joe won't have all that stuff transferred over that quickly.. I see that boat in the water soon...

gotta start working on adding another pump and ballast bag. I think eric will have a 750 left over that's almost brand new after we install the 2 enzo sacks he ordered on friday... hoping to start his install in 2 weeks. I'm almost done with mine..

oh ya, I saw my board today at chelsea's.. jeff did an amazing job on the pink color.. can't wait to see the artwork she's throwing down on it..

Scott, can't wait to see the pink Soulcraft!
Tell Eric I am interested in the 750 bag if it will fit in my V212.

Sue,
We are very excited to have you joining the Supreme family. I just know your gonna get that wave dialed in and we look forward to seeing that big wave and of course that even bigger smile posted up here soon.
Ski Ya Soon

Thanks Charlie! I am so excited that I can hardly teach PE this week. I have been taking my students on "field trips" into my office to see the boat pics on my computer! LOL
We will pick the boat up the day after Thanksgiving and hope to surf the Columbia River before we leave Vancouver, WA. Boatland will winterize it for the drive home, only to have Joe unwinterize it when we get back to Idaho and get it in our garage. There is no way I can have a new beautiful boat and not ride this winter. Maybe I should live in AZ where it's warm!

Soooo jealous of winter riding, Sue. I only WISH I could store our Supreme indoors!

Yea John you gotta be a little crazy to ride in the winter in Idaho but it kinda fits me :)

Oh Sue... surfing in Wyoming can be a bit "chilly" as well! Maiden voyage of our new Supreme last spring

Nice John:)

Sue, I'm a bit crazy too! I got out 2 times in NOV.

Sue, I expect to see that first run potsted here soon. Enjoy and keep spreading the word. Supreme is Supreme!!!!

Charlie, only 3 more days and that Supreme will be mine. We had to change the date to pick it up until Friday, due to out of town visitors for the holiday. What were they thinking coming at a time like this? I guess you can't blame them since they don't surf :)
Pics coming soon!

Today's the big day Sue.Have a safe journey to pick up your new toy.

We fianally have our Supreme! We are still in Oregon after a long day. We drove the boat on the Columbia river today and it was awesome. Can't wait to get home and surf.

Here are some pics of the new Supreme. I didn't get a chance to surf it yet but hopefully soon!

Now comes the fun part, you get to dial it in!

Yep Robert! I hope to do that this weekend if the weather permits :)

I think you are going to get rained out this weekend. patience :)

I don't have very much patience right now. Wish we could start summer all over again.
Scott, one weekend when it's not raining you will have to come ride in and drive the Supreme on Lucky Peak. Hope there is enough water.

call me fair weather :)

need a good 55deg day and we'll go out for a spin. these 40deg days are too cold for my old bones to be in a boat on the water..

I am hoping to surf the new Supreme next weekend. I tore my calf muscle several weeks ago and hope it will be up to surfing soon!
Will it ok to surf while we are breaking the engine in or do we need to put the recommended hours on the engine before surfing it?

Sue,I know it's going to kill you but,I would break it in before you weight it down and run it listed.That way if there happens to be a problem,it can't be blamed on improper break in.

agreed. break it in properly and if I were you, keep a log of hours and usage in a small notebook. no warranty issues since you didn't buy it from dennis dillon. don't give them a reason to hassle you :)

need to come out and see it.

mine is going to tyrell for pics on monday for the graphics coming off then home to the garage and tucked away for the winter. stereo is done and came out amazing..

Ok guys we will do the proper beak in before surfing.
Scott can't wait to see the Tige with the new stereo and graphics. You will have to come out one weekend and see the Supreme.

V212 Surf Wake Vid
 

Congrats on the new boat! Here's my 2007 V212 surf wake...Surfing at Bullards Bar
There's a few other wake riding videos on there too.

Thanks Dan :) I enjoyed your videos. Can't wait to make some behind my Supreme.
Lately we have been playing with the swim platform and ballast. It came with the extra large swim deck. We are thinking of raising it 4" to see if that will keep it off the wake. The other option is to get a 2011 or 2012 V226 surf platform. I had a deal on one but Charlie the rep., no longer works for Supreme. I think I can still get it after the first of the year when the owner comes back from vacation but not sure of the price or shipping cost.

Disappointed Charlie is no longer with Supreme. He was a decent cat...

Me too John. Charlie was a lot of fun at the Polar Bear.

Someone just told me Supreme was purchased by Centurion. Is that true? I didn't bother to read all 50 comments to see if someone already pointed this out.

Yes,Supreme is now owned by Fineline and being built by Fineline again.

Hey Sue it's eric, Scotts cousin, finally joined ww and found this post. Congrats on the new boat. Awesome colors. I want to make sure we keep in touch. My wife and I really enjoyed having you and Joe out on our boat and would love to have you guys out again. Especially with the new ballast.

Hey Eric! We had a blast with you guys in your Tige. Thanks for the compliments on our new Supreme. We will have to ride together soon.

you guys suck!!!!

that is all :)

Hey Scott. Who decided to leave us and move to Green Bay! Good luck and come back and surf with us when you can. My crew is falling apart...first Jeff and now you:( It is a good move on your part though.
