Wakesurfing rookie

[Ismael Breton]

Hello all! Wake surfing looks fun, but if you don't have the perfect boat for it, it also seems expensive. I've never wake surfed before, but I sure would like to give it a shot without having to sell my boat. I have a 2018 AR240 and I've seen the Yamaha Wake Booster that costs around $1k. I could deal with that...What I don't want to deal with is a bunch of pain in the behind bags that I have to pump in and out...What's the most effective/easy set up out there for this novice?

I have a 210 and use the wake booster. it gives you enough of a wave to see if you like it, but that's about it. After giving it a go for the summer, I am now contemplating, buy some bags and weight this thing down, upgrade to a Wake series, or go to a real wake boat. Yesterday I was messing around on the Zup board (showing the kids what they could do) and forgot what a faceplant feels like at 20, ouch.... Wakesurfing is so much less painful and my old body likes that.

That's good to know. So currently you don't have any bags at all? Do you have any pictures, or video of the wake?

No bags, This is with the admiral piloting and a female friend taking pics (hardly any weight on board).
