We took delivery of our Regal LS2 Surf at Lake Norman on Friday. I was initially looking for a bigger boat (25/26 foot) but they had this one in stock. After some research while I was at the beach for a family vacation I decided to just go for it. Wired them the money while I was sitting on the beach lol. Initial impressions are I’m absolutely blown away. It feels much bigger than a 22’4” boat inside (cockpit and now is exactly the same measurements as the 24’ and 26’ versions but those have a bigger stern). Once on the water it felt like a BMW or Audi. Extremely smooth, fast and handled like it was on rails. At 30+ mph I could make circle inside of the last circle. I’ve only seen boats slide outside of their last circle while maintaining speed, not grab the edge and make a tighter circle. It’s an incredibly fun boat to drive. So much control at all speeds and in reverse. We did docking exercises as part of the on water delivery and other boaters were blown away at how easily it maneuvered, especially in reverse.
The fit and finish of the boat is top notch. Beautiful inside and out with lots of little extra touches. The power tower is great, fusion sound system is more then sufficient and music can easily be heard at 40+ mph (still breaking her in so haven’t hit top speed yet). The tech in the boat is amazing. So much tech but the dealer was great at breaking it down and getting what I needed set up. Still a ton left to learn though. The dual 7” screens are great and work independently to create a great experience. Only complaint is I wish the put the dual 9” screens in like the LS4 & 6. The 7” works but bigger would be better.
The wave this boat makes is amazing. It has 1800# of ballast but we didn’t even use it all to create the wave in the pic. It’s super clean, big pocket, can control the length, switch sides mid-ride, and turn any direction and keep the wave and rider going. The pic is my son with a pro we got lessons from on our boat. We’re all first time surfers and all got up and had a great time even if we didn’t stay up long lol!
While I’m sorry it didn’t work out to get the 252SE we originally wanted (mainly because it was so much less $$$ ?) I’m thrilled with this boat and think it’s a great fit for our family. Look for us out on Jordan. We were out there for a few hours today but hope to get the surfing going on the next trip!
