Help me clean up my wake on my RZ4

[auburntigegal]

Found 3 decent pics from Wednesday. My cousin riding at 22 mph with the crappy pic settings, but you can see the wake pretty good and how it cleaned up. Last is me at 20 mph - white wash on the right and clean on the left (of course I can only jump right to left right now - but I'm workin on it!)

Went out Wednesday and Thursday. Pulled my cousin at 22 mph. He rode at 65 ft and the wake was beautiful. Very clean! Looked awesome! He clears it! Gets great air! It was late afternoon - I was driving, husband took pics, but he had the setting all wrong on the camera - so no good pics. Thanks again for the advice!! I am sore today from getting pulled so many times past 2 days! Boat has 180 hours on it now!

We had a great Saturday and Sunday on the lake! Saturday was Aquapalooza at Honeycomb, Lake Guntersville and there were so many boats, we only surfed - way too rough for wakeboarding.
But today was awesome!! We took off our center fins. I'm running about 19 mph now and getting most of my surface 180's down! I'm getting air and making about 3/4 of the way across the wake, and it's really wide at 60 ft (which is as short as my rope will go unless I want to tie a knot in it). Rest of family is improving too!! Only bummer thing that happened today was we lost a pin in the swim platform (thankfully at the end of the day - though it did cut us out of about an hour of boating time . The wake still has some white wash, but we're improving it! I'll work with the front ballast some! Thanks for all of ya'lls help!

If you speed up to 21 mph it will clean up your wake.At 60 foot 20 to 20.5 might even be enough.Also as you speeed up the board rotates easier.

Had my RZ4 about 3 weeks now, mine is 08 so only 900lbs ballast, but we found the front ballast seems to clean the wake the most, fully loaded and it really ramps up, got to play around with it everytime, havent read whole thread so hope you have it sorted, speed is definately the biggest help, me, my son and my buddy board at 21-22 depending on the sea conditions, my wife and my buddys wife run at 17-19 can usually clean it up enough though.

Also been trying new tricks, learnwake is great, and i have just order a copy of The Book, been trying a HS backroll this weekend from Learnwake, very easy way to learn it, havent got it yet but this is as far as I got on saturday !
