We've hit 85 hours on the water for the season. Heading out again right now. Will post pix and our surf config later today. Our wave is dialed to SICKE ... but there is always room for improvement!!!

Ya it's got a 15" swing on it which apparently only some boats have room for, the 25 being one of them, so, larger than stock.

Where you at EA2010? We are in Shuswap Lake. At about 45 hours now but here until sept so should hit about 90 hours this year.

How boat holding up? My only issue now is ballast tank levels, still way out if whack...

Surfed today and experimented with the wake plate positin I found that with it down about 1/2 the pocket was a little longer and still plenty of push. Thats my new setting for now.

Thanks for the prop info, Nick. I'm the guy who's out at Wood Lake / Kalamalka. Approaching 90 hours on our X-25 and really happy with the surf wake. Sorry to hear about your issues, dude. I would recommend a Tsunami pump and some Fly High sacs to compensate while you get that figured out.

I am running the following setup:

Regular Side

- KGB and Port side tanks 100% full
- 750lb Fly High sac in rear port locker 100% full
- attitude plate to 40%
- STBD surf tab to 100%
- speed is 11mph (my boat has Zero Off)

Here's a vid of my daughter shredding the port side of the boat:

We're really happy with this wake. Tons of push and a nice clean lip.

Here's our goofy side wake ...

Same settings as port side, but we add a 400lb Fly High sack to the starboard seat (over the cooler) and make sure the cooler is FULL with drinks!

The goofy side is a little more hit-and-miss depending on passenger load ...

Oh yeah, I am cruising goofy a little faster at 11.8 mph ... I can get back 20 feet easily on my ShredStixx Pro (4'11")

The fly high tube sack (370 lbs) fits great under the cooler seat which is nice as I hate bags on the seats. How do you fit a 750 lb bag in rear lockers? I have the 455 lb X2 sacs back there and they are pretty much full.

I'm going to replace the 400 lb bag I have under the port bench seat with a 750-950 lb bag so it's easier for beginners to surf the port side as I'm the only one show surfs goofy and the extra 800 lbs is all I need for that side though if I could fit a 750 lb bag in rear lockers I would.

EA2010, I'm guessing you have a fiberglass platform?

The 750 sac fills the entire locker and slides underneath the rear wedge seats. I can get it about 90% full on port, but only 75% on starboard (due to the water strainer).

Nice call on the tube sac for the cooler. Gonna try that one.

Correct.

I'm hoping someone comes out with a custom platform that actually improves (or, at least, doesn't destroy) the surf wake ...
