Today I went out and tried wakesurfing for the first time. It was a little disappointing that I could not let go of the rope at all, in fact I never could quite get the feel of that 'sweet spot'.

I just gleaned some good info from some of the other posts. I set the speed at 10MPH with my Taps plate on Slalom (down). I have a 5'6 inch broadcast board. I weigh 220 pounds. It was just me and two other guys (buddies seem to be a little shy this time of the year). I have a fat sac that weighs 550, but did not use it.

For those who have this boat, or some experience with it - do I need the ballast? My brief research here suggests the hard core surfers use huge amounts of ballast. Also what speed is best? The wake never quite seemed to clean up like I wanted it to.
