    First day with Cobra Jet fins

    Yes, the system will require straightening out surf point. But don't feel bad, Surfpoint was kind of a gimmick anyway. Your boat steers better without it and the effect on the wave was negligible.

    One picture of your last outing.

    It's pretty amazing! I'm a bit jealous to be honest... my truck isn't that old, but it's got so many nice updates that it feels "old". I still have to turn a key to start mine... lol!

    First Surfboard Recommendations

    That's awesome! ...and less awesome. Any videos of you trying to get up on the wakesurf board? My advice would be to watch some videos and learn thru osmosis. On our boats, you want too start off to the surf side corner the boat. This way you can avoid the jetwash and come up outside the wake...

    We're blessed to be a 2 truck family. My '18 3500 Denali HD handles the 5th wheel while my wife's '21 1500 AT4 (3.0L Duramax) handles the boat. For this trip you're not entirely wrong. Utah Lake State Park is only 10 minutes from home. We took the camper down and spent the night. Then took my...

    Wake Surfing with Trim Tabs

    I know @swatski did some experimenting with his trim tabs in surf applications on his AR240. I can't recall if he attempted mounting the ballast centerline...? In general his assessment was the the deployed tab lifted the rear of the boat hurting the wave. However, ballast placement and amount...

    One picture of your last outing.

    My 2 youngest boys, 7 and almost 4 have summer birthdays about 1 month apart. Wifey decided to combine their gift this year and bought them the WOW Slide N Smile (we already had the wow inflatable mat). We put it to the test Saturday. Kids played for hours. Setup takes about 15 min. Takedown...

    Surfing behind 255XD

    You will need to get the boat to list (lean) surf side to accentuate the wave surf side. Try 0 ballast on the non surf and all 10 passengers in the back surf side corner.

    Gantlin Wake Wedge vs. JetBoatPilot Jetwash Deflector

    I can only speak for the Wake Wedge. I don't know that I've seen any real world reviews of the jetwash deflector. Just a few promotional and test videos from Jetboat Pilot. It seems like they were in the process of redesigning the 24ft version. So, although it's for sale now I'm not sure it's...

    First day with Cobra Jet fins

    I can only aspire to ascend to "in" status. ? I imagine her eyes will eyes will roll back into the front of her face once she experiences the difference. Thanks Jeff @Cobra Jet Steering LLC, let's not give her to much ownership. I would like to have a turn driving the boat from time to time... ?

    First day with Cobra Jet fins

    Welp! I've gone and done it... Super Magnum AK Deluxe with AK Fangs. Looking forward to feeling the changes and seeing my wife's eyes roll when they show up. ? lol!

    First day with Cobra Jet fins

    Am I really about to buy Cobra jets after 5 seasons...? Crap! I...I...I... damn you guys stuck! I have wanted to improve the control of the boat when approaching boarders. My wife had to abort and emergency reverse as she was coming around to bring the wakeboard rope back to me. I thought I was...

    Check this wave out. any tips to improve?

    It looks clean and long, not exceptionally tall. Not necessarily a bad thing. A couple questions, do you know your speed and were you able to stay on it? A couple thoughts: Slowing down a fraction of MPH can decrease the plain if the boat, shorten the wave, potentially giving you a bit more...

    ever had laughing gas or sedation at the dentist

    Had laughing gas one time, when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I remember my hands felt weird and when i was asked to open my mouth or whatever i felt like it took me an extra 3 seconds to register and do the thing.

    Wakesurf No Wedge Tips

    @jcyamaharider and @jcyamahariders wife are familiar with both types of steering as they mentioned above and probably a better resource for removal and install information. I have always run stock but have considered Cobra Jet myself. I still am. There are YouTube videos of the install process...
