A couple of my friends have been laughing about the idea of surfing behind my jet boat. Well after my buddies Nautique broke down today I convinced them to give it a go. Let's just say they're not laughing anymore!image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
 
That is a great looking wake...what is your ballast setup and positioning? I keep trying to refine my wake and I have yet to see a wake like that behind my 23' boat.
 
Bad ass !!!!

You need some heavier friends. At 6'4" and 3 hundo, I'm available for rent.
 
We had a lot of weight in the boat. 500 in the bow, 700 under the seat 350 more on top of the seat all surf side. Another 500 on the floor and 900 across the swim platform. Only two people in the boat.
 
Heck yeah!!! Looks great!
 
Wave Looks great...love to see some pros ride behind one of these...or just some riders doing tricks/getting air..
 
That is a lot of weight! I don't think I could get my 210 up to surf speed with all that weight.
