Mastercraft X25 Surfing Vids
Hello everyone. We are new to this forum and new surfers but we are loving surfing at this point. Getting the wave more and more dialed each trip out. It's pretty tall and long and not sure we need it any better than how we have it now. Here's a few vids of my wife who's only been surfing about 6 weeks now. She's doing great and just had a baby in March. There's about 2650lbs in ballast on the boat, nothing on the seating surfaces all below. The GoPro is on the very back of the boat too, it's not forward like some vids to make it seem like people are riding farther back than they really are. We've ridden behind a few boats now, one being an Enzo and I think out setup is on par or better than most. The Enzo we were behind was a 230 and I like our wake better than the 230. Haven't been behind a 244. To each his own I suppose but you can see what our wake looks like in the vids below.
Video 1 http://youtu.be/jY2NpeIjBrY?hd=1 Video 2. She didn't lose it at the end of the video, she saved it but my buddy cut the clip so the clips weren't too long. http://youtu.be/yd4dQVK4GQA?hd=1 Video 3. This is my buddy Mike. He's 220lbs. I took him once last week and he made a few hits and today was his second time ever surfing. He's hooked on wake surfing to say the least. He was so stoked to ride all over wireless. http://youtu.be/aNb2FwN0zYE?hd=1 We just started surfing not long ago and probably won't get on wake boards again for awhile. Getting wrecked on the wake board doesn't sound too appealing anymore :) |
Great looking wave. I have always said the X25 would have a long, clean wave. Try running the the trim tab down a little (around 30% on my Enzo) and you will roll the wash over faster and it will give you a better transition near the boat.

We have a bunch of Inland Surfer boards and like them a lot. My wife and I custom ordered some Walker Project Bomb Pops and are very excited to get on those. Mine will have a CF deck and CF bottom. Hers will have a CF deck normal bottom but in her favorite color. |
Thats cool you had Van Wilder setting up the cam for you in Vid 3

Good looking, clean wave, very nice. Have you tried it on the other side as well? How is it?

Y, I would love to see that, very cool.

LOL, I know. But I love seeing new boats that I haven't been around throw a great wave on both sides. Future polar bear demo boat maybe, who knows.
The funny thing is, I didn't even see this thread, missed it completely. Woon PM'd me and asked me to take a look. He is pretty proud of his dial in job, and he should be, it looks good. |

And one thing that I like of my MC is that the wake is as good on the starboard side as it is on the port side! |
And these boats have lots of freeboard so they can lean a lot!
And comfy as hell, you don't have your knees in the face when sitting! |

Plenty of the boats make good waves, but the dance floor swim deck kills them. |
Ryan, I would love to see what your new plateform looks like. Any pics?
|
Who's 458 on your youtube videos?
|
The shorter swim deck made it worse and the water was hitting the side and throwing up a lot of roost. Put the stock one back on and it was great. Jon, mine but it's gone. It's a new 2012 458. I'm an independent dealer.

I assume it was you that drove it to the MC factory last year then? I don't think there are too many of them around Vonore.
|
No sir not me. I've never been to the MC factory and I'm Arizona :)

Mike and Angies first tandem run! My four son just turned 4months and stood on the surf board for the first time today in the water almost on his own. Just needed some help balancing:)

great pics, cute kid. He will be shredding that Soulcraft in no time.
|
Great pics!
How do you have your X-25 set up for surfing? I have an X-25 and haven't gotten my surf wake dialed in yet. |
750lbs in the back locker, 900lbs under the port seat, 400lbs lead front starboard side bow, 600lbs in stock ballast, KGB and Port tanks full, all hidden below the seats and sometimes we put 350lbs on top of the port seat. 2600-2900lbs of ballast plus people. The center tab makes a huge difference and we put it up and down depending on what we are doing.

Hey Ryan,
Davis here, we r loving the board. Quick question how is the wave on starboard side and how did you like the soulcraft boards, that was one of our other options. Thanks and great pics of everyone including the little one. |
Thanks, Ryan, very helpful. You put 400 lbs lead in the starboard bow? Or do you mean port, since all the other weight is port side.
|
Starboard bow for the lead :)
|
Couple of custom Bomb Pops showed up today. Ordering a replacement for my wife that's more hot pink than this dark pink.

Great looking wave.

Looks like she is having much fun, looking forward to seeing the liitle one on there soon. We r really enjoying the flyboy, how do u guys like the new board. Enjoy
|
Thanks Blair. Davis I'm glad you like the FlyBoy! After riding the Bomb Pop for two days now it's my favorite board I've ever been on. It's very fast, a lot of pop, and hard to pearl. I love it.
|
Awesome boards Ryan! I have a Bomb Pop myself. Say, you aren't the Ryan Woon that owns that bad azz 8 second Supra are you?
|
Timmy yes that's me :) How do you like your Bomb Pop? I have a lot of racing videos and now some surfing vids on my YouTube channel and also on my FB Page:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/DDW-Pa...40191479330440 http://www.youtube.com/user/WOONRYAN DSport Magazine did an issue on the top ten highest horsepower cars and I'm in there with one of my cars that made 1560rwhp. It was actually the power train out of my silver Supra that I used in the blue one temporarily. It's on magazine stands right now |
Nice! Never owned a Supra but I've been on car forums for 12 years now and have seen your cars throughout that time. Bad azz stuff that you have!
Love my Bomb Pop! I've recently demoed a few other boards and all they did was solidify my choice...although the Soulcraft Jetty is a very close second pick for me. Still can't believe how light it is and I didn't even go carbon fiber on mine. |
boards
What size are u guys riding.
|
My wife rides a 4'2, I ride a 4'5. You can get away with shorter bomb pop than other boards because of it's design. We have a friend that's 185lbs and had no problems riding my wife's 4'2.
|
Can I come live with you?
|
Sure, just stroke a check for the monthly bills and you're in! :)

That is a nice looking wave! Did Mike V. help you with the set up? I know his MC is dialed! The X-25 on our lake is throwing no where near as nice a wave as you got!
|
A connoisseur of high-end racing cars and sports cars rides Mastercraft? Am not surprised.
|
Tony we surf with Mike and Angie all the time. We've been playing with all sorts of ballast setups even still. I think I've found what we like best though as of this week. Troy, as far as fit/finish/quality MC really does the best job. I've been in most all the boats on the market. Of course it's a matter of opinion but that's mine :)

Wife's new Hot Pink Bomb Pop came today:)
http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01498.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01499.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01500.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01501.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h.../Lake/Wave.jpg |
Just started to try surf style 360's. Today was day three. Finally landed one and was pumped :)
http://youtu.be/ithkayi-qEA?hd=1 Rode my 4'5 Bomb Pop today for the first time and my wife rode her hot pink Bomb Pop today as well http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01581.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01563.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01548.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01529.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01527.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01512.jpg |

If anyone is looking for a Hot Pink Bomb Pop for your wife or daughter I am selling the hot pink one above. It's basically brand new. Message me for details if you're interested
|
^^^man that wake is diaaaaaled in!
|
reg side looks good....and the goofy side?
|
We've setup the goofy side a few times on our boat and it's still good. I don't think Mike has tried to weight their boat on the goofy side. With his custom sacs it would be difficult on his X45.

My custom Soulcraft Fangtail showed up today. Turned out AWESOME!

Very cool boards!

Demo'd a new X-30 today. Rockin my new Soulcraft Fangtail
http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01974.jpg My wife and her new Walker Bomb Pop http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01942.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01941.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01959.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01958.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01956.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/DSC01952.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...n/Lake/X30.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...Lake/X30-4.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...Lake/X30-3.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...Lake/X30-2.jpg |
So how was the X30 wake? How was boat weighted?
|
It was good. Wasn't as good as our 25 or our friends 45 with 2600lbs in it but with a bit more weight and tinkering I think it would be on par and one of the best on the market.

Had some custom 2013 boards made for my wife and I. Turned out AWESOME. Sticky bumps traction and wax coming tomorrow!

I've been playing with Sticky Bumps Wax for the front traction instead of a pad and I have to say I like it a lot better! More grip for sure!

Wish you'd put a jacket on little homie..

He has one don't worry :)
Rode my new SC. Love it. This is a still shot from GoPro footage. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/NewBoard.jpg |
