Just wanted to share my setup that has allowed us to surf ropeless with a 2018 AR 210.
  1. Gantlin Wake Wedge
  2. 725lb Fatsac Yamaha Transom Bag
  3. 750lb Fatsac Ski Locked Bag (W707)
  4. 250lb Ballast Bag Under each back (port & starboard) seat all the way back next to engines.
All bags were full except ski locker, it was roughly 3/4 of the way full with (3) adults (200lb, 210lb & 185lb). My thought process with the under seat ballast was to make this AR 210 as close to an X model as possible since those guys seems to have luck just adding the Wake Wedge and the Transom bag.

Board used was a 5’ Slingshot Coaster ordered from J-RAD.

When we moved one guy to the bow the wave seemed to lengthen and clean up a bit so I’m going to move the ski locker bag as far up towards the bow as possible to see if that helps.

Next project is to automate these ballast. I’ve seen some of the others automated systems on here and want to go the same route, leaning towards the Bluetooth relay module setup.

The wave is looking great, nice work! Valuable info for other 210 owners.
