Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're going to need some type of additional ballast or alot more people (within reason of course) to get a good surfable wake out of that hull. Most of the guys I know that surf the new VLX hulls run between 2,000 and 3,000 lbs of ballast on top of the factory ballast. You'll also want to put a some weight up front, I would say a few hundred pounds. I surf a '00 VLX and we run at least 2,000 lbs of ballast, not including people and gear. Your boat will throw an awesome surf wake, it just takes a good amount of ballast to do so.
