    Sport 200 ballast

    What do you experts recommend for additional ballast on a Sport 200 for surfing? Just one additional sac in the rear port compartment? The bow is so low already adding any ballast forward seems like a bit of a risk. Is it worth putting a ballast sac in the ski locker? Has anyone added ballast to their 200V?
    Thanks!

    We put a 450 in each compartment in the stern. Run the overflow into one end of the bag and then run a short hose from the other end of the bag into the overflow drain. Much better than stock setup. The wake isn't too long but has reasonable push. Forward weight would probably lengthen the wake but didn't feel the hassle warranted it.

        Need ballast up front to make wave longer. Just don't be in a big hurry to turn around. Also depth plays a big role in how the wave forms.
