If you shut off the cruise control and still could not go over 8, then it is probably not a cruise control issue (unless your servo was wound all the way up). Did you by chance turn the cruise off when you were not in neutral, thus causing the servo not to unwind to its neutral setting?
Most likely, your boat went into limp mode, which I have heard can happen due to the excess strain caused by surfing. Were you using more weight than usual?
