So I'm gonna try this tomorrow and for the people that do this is the rope attached to the tower? And does it hit the Bimini top starting out with a 16 ft rope?
 
attach it to the tower, on my 230 it does not hit the bimini,
if your surfing left foot forward start with surfer on the left corner of the boat with the board slightly pointed slightly off of 90 degrees so when they start to get up it will start pulling them to the outside of the wake.

also start the pull very slow and steadily increase to 10 mph,

If you surfers are agile at all it shouldn't be a problem, I've pulled up my 9 yr old and a 50 yr old their first time,
 
No rope needed :)
 
Check the watersports thread. Tons of info on wake development, ballast tips etc. Hit me up if you have questions.

we just bought a 2008 Yamaha AR 230 HO-will a new Swell Wake surf Creator H3X plus - we just bought it was hoping it will work/ it’s a new and it’s extends

Don't take it out of the packaging so you can return it,
Those don't work on jet boats
You need a wedge, booster or thruster and weight on the back corner
 
Thank you! I figure that- we’re taking it back
