wake surfing behind a 210

[mckee120]

Thanks all, appreciate the replies. Sac Surfer, the board will be for the entire crew (from 75lb 10 year old to 210lb me) so I'd like to keep the initial cost down until we all find what our abilities and desires are. ES, would the CWB package work well for all of us and how quickly do you think we'll grow out of it? HS the inlandsurfer boards are pretty sweet but I'll have to see if our abilities will justify the cost (hoping so).

Spendy sport, no doubt. Inland is making "price point" skim style boards (Squirt is one).

The 12 year old on our crew rides an IS Black Pearl (skim style, the old one before they came out with the BP Yellow) and he was too small to manage a bigger Surf Style board (IS Blue lake Quad at the time).
He figured out it it was easier to get up using a WB start instead of heel flip. This summer we'll get the 10 year old up.


SacSurfer: We need to start a new thread so you can share more on that amazing collection of surf boards! (Whatcha doin' on the center locker sac?)

mckee120, we just started surfing at the end of last season and we now consistently get up and are able to throw in the rope for some short runs. I think we will outgrow the beginner's board by the end of this season. Make sure the board you pick has enough buoyancy for your weight: I am around 190 lbs and found this board (Ride) floats ok, but without extra ballast in the boat, the "pocket" for surfing is quite small and I had a tough time keeping inside it. (my wife who is 120 lbs was fine).
Regarding the kid: our son is nearly 8 and he found starting with surfing was too tricky (no bindings, tough to get up, especially since you need enough weight and strength to pull down with your heels a grown up board). He instead picked up wake boarding and is doing great. Perhaps we'll get him on a surf next season. The kids surf boards (e.g. Grom) are very expensive and I personally have a tough time justifying the expense, particularly if the kid is not super excited about surfing. Good luck!

Removed the rear tank and installed 1k bag from FH, bow tank, belly bag, and bow integrated. 6 people in the boat at around 10mph on ZO. I also think the gate was at 2. 210 is an awesome surf boat.

Thanks,
Mark @ N3

When you run this ballast config, do you put any weight in the port side rear locker? (I'm guess it has a 1K bag too?) thanks

The center locker bag is the small tube sac W704 with the intergrated W711 under the bow seats. The vent does not need to be covered.

Thanks!

N3 thanks again! We warmed up enough here last weekend to (finally) water test our install. 750s piggy backed and an Arrow Sac in the ski locker. Excellent shape and size, pics to follow. I did stash some 200# of leftover pop products in forward holds. Thanks for the demo! Will you be at Indy?

I have a 2010 210 SAN. I also have the overflow Fat Sacs. I fill all of the starboard and bow & Bow arrow. Then stick a 750 lb sac on the seat directly behind the driver and another 750 in the middle of the boat on the floor. The wave is amazing for goofy footers. Im a 210lb rider and use the sweet spot pro at 11 mph. Give it a try.

I want to try that board! Where do you put in?

Wish I was wakesurfing today! 2 more weeks can't wait

Yesterday on Lake Sammamish (air 70, water 59)



This is with the newly installed 750s in the rear lockers and a Center Locker Arrow sac in the ski locker. Also have 200# is pop products in the holds just forward of the windshield (3 left, 2 right). ZO set at 10.5 and gate at 3 (ramp).

We were noticing how this wave stacks up behind the rider; on the 211 it was more to the tow side. I suppose that has a lot to do with how we were weighting the old boat with more list than our current set up. I was also surprised to see that the 750 didn't occupy the entire height of the locker space.

We just had a fat sac installed in the rear port locker...750. I still can't believe what a HUGE difference it made with the wake. Can't wait to spend more time on the water! :-) (2010 210 SANTE)

Don't forget that adding forward weight will lengthen the pocket (sweet spot in the wave) and allow you to enjoy more room to ride.
