We solved the mystery of how to make the surf wave clean all the time as compared to last week's video where we had to do some adjusting on the fly! This video is one of my favorites we've ever shot! It was so much fun to do and we learned a ton! Enjoy!

 
Will any idea on when you start shipping the twins? Hopefully you ship in order of payment received - I bought mine on Dec 9th!!
 
This is the video that was leaked yesterday!! Looks pretty good 1200lb total ballast I think you mentioned 600 on deck 600 in ski locker?

Do you see any changes coming to this? Mind sharing what was happening in last weeks video compared to this week when the wave was getting wash at times and the starboard side looked washed out.

Unfortunately I can't share that part. Sort of a trade secret.

The extra 600 was on the engine hatch and fuel tank hatch.

I wasnt sure if it was a ballast placement or something that if we didnt due would cause the adverse effects.
 
Nah, nothing like that.
 
With the Thrust Vector Wake and factory ballast..how much more ballast do you recommend to experience that kind of surfing behind my '16 212x.
Great Video and excited about the boating season!

That was with several people in the boat so if you plan to go out with a crew then you may not need more but if you're alone you could fill your bags onboard and get a bigger wave. The key is in the tuning so you'll need to experiment with what works best for your rider. A little weight shifted from one place to another can make a good impact on the wake. We'll try to shoot a video outlining some best practices and recommendations.

Rooster tail is coming soon. We began work on it a few weeks ago and it is nearly done.
 
Great Stuff Will. I'm excited to see how this works. Any anticipated ship date for the Twins?

Yes still hoping for late May, just before Memorial day.
 
Yes! Please! I need it before Memorial Day!
That's the goal. It is now in the hands of our suppliers so we're at their mercy!
 
Does that mean, no more videos?
Now but it does mean that deadlines should be met if we don't experience and issues with on time deliveries from our suppliers.

Would love to be your back up supplier! just sayin royalsheet.com.....can't wait for these to come out and be put to use.

Shameless plug intended....
 
Thanks, will keep that in mind if we lose one. Our main supplier is also a jet boat owner and friend so most likely we'll continue to do business with him.
