Took off the Training Wheels

[ragboy]

Yeah, we found the same thing, we have a integrated bow sac that we NEVER use.

Update: ballast adjustment

Are last 2 trips, we had the time to play around with the weight and placement, speed and TAPS. and have improved the wake and are now surfing @ 11mph with no prob.

original set-up:
500 in bow
700 port storage/side
400 in seat or peeps.

First we decided to not fill the bow sac and instead threw another 400 on top of the 700 in the port storage along with the 400 in the seat as it was just the 2 of us. The wake was just a tall, if not a little taller, but the pocket seemed to be longer. With the new board (CWB Tsunami) I am able to increase the speed and stay up with the boat.

Next we filled the bow sac and could really feel a change in the wake. With weight in the bow, the wake became soft and hard to get any bite, if that makes sense.

Last trip out we just filled the 700 in the port storage/side and a 400 in the seat. The wake height was great, nice pocket, good curl.

Conclusion - 22Ve does not weight upfront.

of course I did.. I was bored at work just counting the seconds til I got off to go wakesurfing!

btw I have another wakesurfing convert, I took a buddy of mine from work out today who is a wakeboarder/surfer and introduced him to wakesurfing and he is hooked! Already talking about getting a board and whatnot, only problem is he has a sea-ray..

We are trying to convert a slip owner at the marina from his Reinell to an RZ2. They did the wakeboard clinic last month with us that Cathy Williams put on and are hooked. Monday I was telling him and our dealer Tony about surfing all day Sunday and they were drooling

At first it only lasted for a couple of days, but lately......................

Lol.. that picture reminded me of that Simpsons episode w/ the alien in the forrest that turned out to be Mr. Burns after some sort of radiation therapy. Does anyone remember that episode? I'll try and find a picture or YouTube link or something..

Yea about that. Was I supposed to glow for a week after the owners reunion or just a couple of days?

I hope the lake water isn't warmer than the other lakes. Do you know what they are discharging into the water? Or, are they just using it for cooling purposes?

The one behind me is a nuke. I dont think they use any water and discharge because the water temp is the same North of it and and a long finger on the south side. About 10 miles North is an old coal burner that discharged nice warm water that will keep the winter time h2o temps in the low 70's but like a hot tub right know. water's not polluted at all either.

Well, gotta go, got something in my middle eye that I cant seem to get out with my flippers.

God bless the Power Co for building us this nice lake to surf on
