Wave keeps growing

This was taken after the sun was going down so a little blurry.


2012 210 with NSS

So tall and so clean! I've surf behind many different boats but this is my favorite so far apart from a 230 or G23.

looks good. What is the specs on your setup? I surfed behind a 13 210 with all stock ballast and NSS and it was so weak we could barely surf it.

It's not the specs of the setup, it's the specs on the Beard!!!

[F725]

Once my beard starts to drag in the wave I'll trim it up.

I can surf my 210 with all stock full and NSS on 3 but...

This set-up is.

2 guys in boat. Driver and passenger on seat (180lbs)
With only 2 in boat we put a 400 lb sac on port seat.
I have an 1100 lb sac in port locker probably full to 800 +/- lbs
Starboard side we had about 350 to 400 lbs
Stock belly full, plus piggy backed front bag (about 450 lbs)
NSS at 4, Hydrogate at 1 or 0.
Speed at 10.5

I'd mess up on a trick, lose my balance, fumble around, drift way back and still not lose the wave. Tons of push, nice lip for airs and super smooth transition.

One of the guys with us always raves about the Enzo 233 wave... he changed his tune.

so the boat is not weighted even. if one were to fill up all factory ballast plus piggy backed 750's on both sides plus piggy backed front bag. kinda the way you would wake set it up for wakeboarding- can you then surf without too much changing with good wave?

[F725]

I've found that the the port wave is best if you weight that side more than the starboard side. Weight on the starboard side helps create the size but more weight on the port side adds length and aids the NSS to really clean up the wave and add shape at different settings.

You can literally weight the boat evenly for wakeboarding / wakesurfing by using people weight. We do this all the time on our program / camp sessions. We fill the stock ballast weight and then move a few people around if needed. Sometimes we get things dialed in where we don't move anyone around between starboard and port surfing. The boat leans very little even at the offset weight. I love driving this way... it handles very well and people are more spread out.

No. I have that exact set up and with that much weight, the wave will not be clean on the port side if it is evenly weighted.

If it is just me, my wife, and my infant son on the boat, I'll drain a little bit out on the starboard side. If there are more people in the boat, I'll just use people to slightly overweight the port side. With this set up, the wake is nice on both port and starboard. It doesn't make sense, but even if the port is weighted more heavily than the starboard, you can still have a nice clean wave on the starboard side.
