Have you wake surfed at all? You can get by with getting used bags and such but you are going to have to pay to play. IF you haven't surfed then I would not recommend a WW right away. Get your ballast setup and surf in a circle to get a feel for it.

I have 2 old school bags with the water bed fittings that I converted over to fly high fitting that I would let go cheap. That would be 1100 pounds of ballast. Then you would need another 750 bag it would get you going. OR you could go really old school and fill up plastic totes full of water.

I have surfed behind boat already but can't get big enough wave. Would just wake wedge and 1 bag be enough with a boat full?

No, We recommend 1600 lbs minimum. 800 surf side seat and 800 on the surf side swim deck.

This is 2500 lbs.

We get a pretty good wake if we just use the 1400lb stock x ballast and 8 to 10 people on board. A couple big people sitting on swim deck. If it is just 2 on boat we use 400lb min swim deck and 750lb on port seat. I will put a couple pictures from this weekend. Only me and my women on boat.
