Welcome to the Tigé family!

Learn to use taps to your advantage. In heavy chop I like to set taps to 7-8 and run 14-18mph to bring the nose up very high and keep me dry. Running across the lake at high speeds, bring it down to 2-3. You will find the sweet spots as you go along.

Fill the ballast while stationary. Since they are aerator style pumps they cannot fill while you are moving. You can empty while underway, just not fill.

I you have never owned a direct drive/V-drive you will need to learn to backup/reverse properly and also how the boat behaves when moving forward at low speeds.

Just a few things I can think of right off the bat :-)

Can u fill in gear at idle?

Hlo,
Congrats on getting a Tige! First-time owners usually find it helpful to spend time learning the boat’s ballast and surf system so you can dial in the perfect wave. Regular maintenance like flushing, checking fluids, and keeping the interior clean goes a long way. After a long day on the water, I always think of it like grabbing a good meal at Chowking preparation and consistency make the whole experience more enjoyable. https://chowkingmenu.com/
