Has anyone had any success with factory ballast settings for wake surfing? The videos online show people surfing ropeless but i cant seem to get enough push.

There's some posts on this already if you use the search function - from memory I think you have to fill all 100% on surf side, 50% non-surf, and try to get a list. Honestly though, even the Yamaha videos show a pretty weak wave. Maybe good for skinny people or kids, but not for regular 'murican's.

I found some once but cant seem to find them again. Thanks. I've tried 100-50-0 and that was okay, but ill try 100-100-0 next. Ya I bought the Yamaha more for a family boat and for the ability to surf when the kids give me a chance. Hopefully ill get some good input I'm 220lbs so I'm probably going to need to buy some additional ballast which I'm okay with if I know its going to work. I'm not much of an experimental guy. lol
