Surfing behind AR190 homemade WakeBooster

Well, after much experimentation I have found this combo the only one that works for me in my rather shallow, barely 15ft deep, lake with just me and a 140lb driver.
GPS speed control
Custom fatsac on surf side
200 lbs on bow seat
Without these the wake shaper would help but could not go hopeless.
With them, I can go hopeless but the wake shaper actually hinders instead of helping because of the additional drag and yaw. I'm 180lb using a slingshot coaster. Maybe I had too much angle on the shaper. It cleaned up the wave but never made it big enough.
IMO the speed control is an absolute necessity. If you have enough breathing ballast you can probably make that work.
