Surf setup in my 2014 SAN 230

[Stealthall]

Bringing home my new (leftover 14') 230 tomorrow and would like if you fellas and/or ladies could provide me with a couple surf configurations to use...

Here is the makeup of the 230 and typical body load I will have this weekend:

Stock plus Pro Ballast 400's per side

Son - 60lbs
Son - 50lbs
Daughter - 50lbs
Daughter - 120lbs
Me - 230lbs (leave me alone I'm 6'1)
Buddy - 190 to 210 (obviously one of us in the water)

Where should the kids be, ballast, NSS & Other settings.

It would be awesome if I could get 2-3 options. And any input on what to adjust for Goofy.

Thanks!

Have fun - 230 is a great boat.

Putting folks on the side you are surfing and as far back as possible really helps build the wave. If you play around, you will see how much a little weight can change the wave. I would go - assuming everyone going knows how to surf and will be ok with a decent size and vertical wave.
-all bags full
-Hydrogate up (if you play with it, you will see in forward position the top of the wave is messy, the opposite direction cleans the wake totally - i may have position backward(
-NSS set at 5
-Speed 10.1-10.2 mph

If you want to elongate the wave and or lower the vertical of the wave you can
-lower NSS #
-take some water out of stern balasts
-move people from away from stern and wake side of boat

BTW - if your computer freezes (happens to us every once and a while - seemed to happen more when we first got the boat, also a 14', maybe because we played with things more then). You need to shut down engine and shut off all batteries and reboot.
