Wake Wedge

[Mike Alcorn]

I just purchased the wake wedge from Gantlin and we are having a couple issues with getting the correct adjustments to be able to surf with out hanging on to the rope. What’s the degree of angle and do I need ballast bag?

Yes you need ballast, best to mount it on swim deck, as far out in the corner on the surf side as possible.
We use two full turns of the turnbuckle. That’s it, it is almost flat. I have a feeling many people tend to angle thevwedge too much, it needs almost no angle to deflect the spray, works the best that way.

surfing ropeless does require some degree of ability and balance,

what weight and board are involved? My 13 yr old 85lb daughter can surf ropeless 20 feet behind the boat, one day I was cutting it up ropeless and then "lost" the feel and haven't found it again,

Like @swatski said the most common error is to put too much angle on it. Try going flatter.

Hi All, My wake is too steep and too short. I have a single engine using a JBP TVW and ballast. Can you suggest what I need to do to flatten and lengthen the wake?

Hi All, My wake is too steep and too short.

that's a very subjective statement, maybe post a picture with a surfer for us to get a better idea where you're at,

usually more weight forward will help lengthen the wave,

I spoke to Jerry at Green Hulk about getting a volume discount for the Lucky 13 Cone (L13). Green Hulk has offered to give a discount for JB.net to anyone that wants to buy them. It is essentially a volume discount that you can buy individually as he feels he will get enough takers.
Here is how it works. Buy it on his site for full price and write in the comments box “$40 discount per Jerry” and he will refund the $40 immediately after the sale goes through. I just bought mine.
If you have a two engine it’s $40 off each.
