Any tips for weighting (and speed) a LSV for a goofy-footed rider? We have the quad ballast and 2 400lb. sacs to work with.

Thanks!

Just got back from surfing an '06 LSV, and it is the best goofy wake I've been on. We had stock ballast full in the back on the right, half on the left, and full up front. we added one 550lb sack on the seat behind the driver and one 300lb sack on the back seat more towards the right side. we also had between 5 to 8 people in the boat, mostly on the right side, with a couple up front.
It was big, like chest high(I'm 5'10") and long. We were able to surf like 20 feet back.
I'll see if we have any pics.
Oh, it also had the power wedge, and we had that most of the way down or all the way down.
I'm a MasterCraft guy, but this thing was awesome to surf behind.
Not as good on the regular side no matter what we tried though.

We have ballast full in the back on the right, half in the middle, and 1/4 in the front.
We have added 80 kg of additional weight in the back.
Wedge down.
And usually, 2 people sitting in the back.
Speed is 15 km/h (sorry, I don't know in mph).
If you click on my profile, you can see a pic of the wake.
