    Hello Moomba Makai

    If you can easily move around 45 lb plate at the gym you should be fine. I wouldn't move them around other than 2 sacks to the surf side depending on surfer. It gets wet and kinda moldy but nothing a pressure washer can't take care of. I sore them in the boat mostly year round. The boat sits on...

    Hello Moomba Makai

    I never ran stock ballast mate. We run 1250 lbs of lead. If I had any faith in WaveMaker I'd order bags to get rid of all the lead, but I have none sadly. All my weight is hidden beneath the bags.

    Hello Moomba Makai

    After watching a dozen other wakesurf boats today I came to two conclusions. 1st one is just because you buy a wakeboat doesn't mean you can make a bad ass wake. Second I don't need to spend anymore money. There were 2 new G23 on the water today and neither came close to the makai wave. Don't...

    Since it's my 2 yr anniversary here's my current wave. For reference 4000 lbs of ballast, 1250 lbs of lead and 5 adults on board. A super warm 65 degrees 🙄

    Hello Moomba Makai

    It's no longer for sale. Buying a lake house so the moomba stays. It lacks nothing. Sometimes I need to remember to appreciate what I already have not things I don't. Here's a wave pic of each side from today bro.

    Yeah 355 inches is not bad at all. Guess I'm spoiled with baker getting over 600" every year and stevens over 460" a year. Both within 2 hours of my house. In Utah powder mtn is king over 500" a year and the largest single ski resort in the country. Even bigger than whistler. But has only 8...

    Why aren't you boating? (A place to brag or vent)

    Soccer all weekend until November. My 4 and 6 year old play. I coach the 6 year Olds team.

    Well they don't work on old MC or Nautique boats. He does seem to refund quickly tho.

    Labor Day Weekend

    Our lake was dead. Everyone goes outta town on the west side of WA. So we shared the whole lake with like 4 other boats. Surfed till we were all exhausted.

    He sure is fast to get that payment sent. Those edges aren't even rounded and smooth. Yeah nobody is putting this on a newer tow boat, and this Def won't work on jetboats.

    I was thinking the same. Plus a product that works universally never works universally. What's the problem with using water anyhow?

    sorry it's perfect pass it's a cruise control of sorts. It allows you to dial in speeds at.1mph so we surf at 11.1-11.3 depending on wind not weight of rider. Don't try and carve it's fun but counter productive. Just find the push. Be able to stay there without the rope before trying to carve...

    Board is a huge factor but so is technique. I have a friend who goes with me almost always last 2 years barely goes ropeless. Another friend same time can go ropeless as long as he wants. Both use my boards. I don't agree with going slower. Id actually go faster. But about 11 doesn't really work...

    So next you'll want to work on very slow movements to stay in the pocket. Don't worry about making turns yet. The best way to try this is to pretend like the board is on a basketball and you have to stay balanced on it. These small movements will keep you from shooting towards the boat. I can...
