Weekend Pics

[Jeffe]

Still trying to dial in the ballast and get the wake rampy with no white wash...It will take some time.

Here are some pics from the weekend.

Here is one more of me wakeskating with no ballast and the taps at 3...Still trying to find that sweet spot for the wake.

[Matt Garcia]

Sweet. Your booting on those first few pictures.

[Coach]

Nice pics! You are flying! Did you have a few people in your boat? Very often you just need to move the people around in your boat and the white wash will clean right up.

[Jeffe]

Thanks...I wish I was that good. Thats a buddy of mine who is so good that those pics dont even do him justice. He can boot on a fricken sea doo wake...but the wake is still crumbly in spots no matter what we do. I have lead bags we move around, move coolers, people, etc...and its so hard to get the right wake.

I always get hurt wakeboarding, so I stick to wakeskating.

Nice pics! You definitely have to move stuff around to get the white wash to go away, kind of ridiculous that the boats are that sensitive if you think about it.

[Jeffe]

I have to move stuff around so much its insane. Just when I think we got it dialed someone gets up to get a beer and it starts all over again.

The guys at TWS test drove the boat, called the factory and the factory said that Daniel Watkins is the only one with the same ballast set up as me in an RZ4. They said the boat is so sensitive that you really have to dial it in.

My other boat was so easy to get a crisp clean wake. It was not as big, but so much cleaner.

Nice pics Your buddy doesn't seem to get very much air tho

[Jeffe]

balair,

Yeah he really sucks...

[Coach]

That wake looks massive in the far off shots. What did they put in for the front ballast?

[Jeffe]

Coach,

I think that it is 600lbs.

What I was told was that the wake with all ballast full is insane at faster speeds. If you go slower with the ballast full it crumbles out.

We were wakeboarding at 24mph and for wakeskating I would ride at 22, which is pretty fast and got crumbly. Once we drained the ballast and set the taps we could slow down to a good wakeskate speed of about 20.

Hello NASA, we have an unidentified flying object behind Jeffe's new RZ4. Can you send some interceptors to verify that we aren't going to be invaded? NASA out.

OMG, now that is some air.....

Thanks for sharing.

I was very familiar with this problem. A person moves 6 inches and a side of the wake will start washing out. My solution was a 23 LSV.

I have been working for a long time to get a big indy shifty like that in the first pic, and I still can't get it.
