Hey was in need of some help, have only recently bought a Hyperlite Broadcast, and we ride behind a Wakesetter 21XTI, was wondering if anyone has any experience surfing behind a XTI, where did you weight it? and does anyone drive in circles when surfing or just straight? we can only manage to basically stand there because when we try to cut etc we sink. any advice would be much appreciated cheers
