well - that would counter what ragboy is suggesting - not that this is the bible but he might have been on an SL longer than the rest. So here's my recap from Sunday. Driver and 4 dogs, stock ballast - that's it. Goofy side is listing by 4 degrees and works well - wake is there. Buddy tried different board (surf style) - so required more push than the standard settings were providing so going slower than the original 11 helped to get the back further down.
First time I surfed (regular) with a skim - a very short one but pretty fast. Not enough push so we tried to get nose more (or back digging further in) but nothing happened. Listing didn't work either (even when setting it to -10) boat stayed dead level. I'm missing the trough behind the boat (or the wall next to me …) comparing to the Malibu last year ...
Yes wave is clean either side - never an issue -
So will try once with additional ballast - big question is where to put it. Because it's a 540lbs bag - I won't be able to move it once it's filled? I have also a set of 125lbs bags which I could move but that may not be sufficient. Will also go out tonight with a more people so can move and may have a drone this time to provide some footage
