Has any one had any issues with your entire wave changing after spending hours testing once you have someone riding??

I have the large transom bag, plus a 750lb bag in my bow with the wake wedge. While underway testing it throws an awesome looking wave with a pocket and a curl in the center.

As soon as I get a guy on the board and have drag my wave goes to complete sh!t washed out and short. Can’t get any push out of it even though it looks like a white water rapid monster...

My boat is an Sx210 and I’m wondering if I just don’t have enough power to pull a rider with 1500lbs of ballast and 4 adults on the boat?!

So today I put the 750lb on the back seat instead of the bow. Got way better results but still feel like it can be better. Still feel like i need some weight in the bow. But here’s a view shots of my buddy.
