Lots of posts on here about surfing ballast but I need some experienced recomendations for 242 ls wakeboard ballast.

Unmodified we can all get decent pop off the wake at 21mph and a 65 foot rope (sweet spot for wake height and crispness right now). A couple in my stable can go wake to wake and even 180 wake to wake. The wake seems a lot wider than our old seadoo challenger 1800 which is making this a bit more challenging. Our goal is to get the best wake for big air. Wanting to try 360s and inverts.

So where is the best place to put the ballast and how much to get big air for wake boarding? Are there any products out there that can clean up the jet wash at 20-23 mph and produce a crisper wake?

Thanks in advance.
