Does anyone have any input/experience setting up the 210 FSH for surfing?
Is it worth spending the money on the thrust vector wake, ballast bags, Wake booster etc. or am I just going to be frustrated in the end without a real surf-able wake?
I’m new to this forum and new to jet boats.
Just ordered a 210 FSH and I’m hoping to set it up to do some leisurely surfing with the family between fishing and tubing times.

You're welcome. For reference, in the video @orexismd's boy is riding on a 2019 Slingshot Coaster XR he picked up from me. Great board!

Just thinking of purchasing 2020 FSH 210. Looking for a boat that will fish and cruise and do some wake surfing. Are you able to wake surf reasonably well when you use the wake booster and ample ballast bags? Am I just convincing myself so I can get a new fishing boat or will the kids genuinely have some fun with it?

I have a 2020 fsh 210 all set up to surf but haven’t had an opportunity to get out and try it yet. We are going to be at the lake all weekend so tomorrow is going to be the day!
I was looking at the wake today while my daughter was driving at 10.5mph, it looked surfable, and I didn’t have ballast bags filled or wake booster Installed because we were just cruising. I’m confident it will be a good wake for Me and the kids. I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow

How was the weekend on the water? Hoping to put a deposit down on the 210FSH tomorrow. No pressure, decided to think of as beginner /intermediate for wake surfing regardless.

Here’s a link to me surfing behind my 2020 FSH sport. I had 5 adults and 3 kids in the boat with a 650lb fat sac on the port side of the upper swim deck along with a live well full of water. Also had the wake booster on.
I look very off balance due partly to the windy choppy conditions and partly because I don’t like the oversized slingshot board, I prefer my inland surfer... it has nothing to do due with my style and ability🙄
