how fast are you going? <BR>try taking some weight out the front

9.8 with the wedge down...seemed to be the best wake <BR>I'll try that wednesday!

I thought Bu's do better on the regular side? The people riding need to be on the port side of the boat. XTI is a true inboard, more weight towards the back port side the better. Entrust likes to ride about 9.3-9.5 in his boat, I like to ride 10-11 in mine. Try 9-12 and figure out what's best. I'm guessing faster will be better. Some people disagree but I'm a believer in a big left hand circle to create a nice clean wave...

bryan you are a mad man <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> i can't surf behind your boat to save my life <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR>

I think you need get the boat to lean more to the port side. I've posted about my ballast set up a few times. On my boat the foam on top of the wake cleans up when the rub rail gets in to the water. <BR> <BR>Don't get in a hurry to free ride, hold the rope for a while. learn to pump the board with your legs. pumping helps you build speed to get back in the pocket.

thanks <BR>that's my brother...he surfed for a bit, but that was the best shot of the wake ...from the video camera <BR>my 10 year old was the camera operator <BR> <BR>the rub rail! wow <BR>ok, I'll try that next time

i really think you need less weight in the nose, a heavy nose can cause the wake to flatten out. i would pull that 400# bag out the bow

I'm going out in the morning <BR>I'll try it without filling the bow bags <BR>thanks

Entrust, you had it the first time!! I don't know what happened last time? <BR> <BR>Rub rail in the water....

not a very good picture, but... <BR>was really a great goofy side wake today <BR>especially with only 2 people...the surfer and the driver <BR>and I didn't fill the bow ballast...the wake seemed to break further away <BR>thanks for the help <BR>looking forward to trying it with a full crew <BR>and on the regular side <BR>wish I had a better picture <BR>later <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/329327.jpg" alt="Upload">
