been wakeboarding for 1 year and trying to get bigger air how much bigger will the wake be if i add 1500lbs of ballast bags i have never rode with any extra weight
I have a 79 SN with a tower off a 99 Air and it throws a decent wake right now without weight, It's steep and firm but small. I noticed the wake has a better shape with people's weight more centered in the boat. I'm thinking about getting 2 -12" x 12" x 48" side sacs =520lbs Anyone else have an older SN(pre 2001 hull) with weight? opinions?
I rode behind a prostar 205 w/ 1400#s most of the season and it was fine but not as steep or firm as my SN's I'm thinking mine will throw a better wake with just 500#s and some friends?
i have a 22ft formula not really a wakeboarding boat but need to wait at least a couple more years to afford one just trying to do the best i can with this, im clearing the wake everytime and can almost get 3,s but not gettin high enough
I learned all my 3's behind a jet ski, except TS BS 3. You can learn a ton behind small wakes without weight. Adding weight gives you time to grab and show style. Take it small then step up the weight you will progress much faster.
There is also a good video of Byerly floating around where he is throwing down some big spins and inverts behind a boat with a Mariner outboard. Maybe some of the best riding I have ever seen. I have landed 360's behind a Bass Cat with a Mercury 200 on it. It is much easier to do spins on a boat with a good wake though.
