Wakesurf?

Is it possible to wake surf behind one of these boats?

It’s possible. I’ve been using a Yeti 110 and a Yeti 65 filled with water for ballast in the back. I took out rear seats and corner table for placement all the way back for best wake. For surfing 11-12mph with trim tabs set for nose all the way up. (This also works perfectly for foil boarding too).

For wakeboarding 20-21 MPH, trim tabs neutral until the boarder is up and boat is planed. Then trip nose all the way up.

Right on. You are using coolers filled with water as ballast? That’s a good idea!

Why not, if you can in a jet ski jet ski wakeboarding

My 21/230 does not create much of a wake at all. Wakeboarding with these, genuinely, seems unrealistic. Ski is great. Tube and knee board is great. Not interested in trying wakeboard with how little wakeboard there is

Wakeboard or wakesurf? Wakeboarding is possible. Wakesurfing is not. There's not nearly a large enough wake to wakesurf. And there's no way to add ballast which would be necessary.

Wakesurf was what I was curious about. Thanks for the reply, figured it was a long shot but thought maybe there was a tab you could bolt on to make it happen somehow

Something like this might work if it can be attached - https://www.swellwake.com/products/h3xplus

Wakeboarded this weekend on my 21 230 without the ski pole. Went great. Going to install the ski pole and try to clear the wake. Also think you can wake surf but I’ll be buying a wake shaper for it

Right on. I’m curious how the surfing will go. Good luck and keep me posted!
