Surfin on a budget


CBray4

Recommended Posts

I have a sunscape 21lsv 2002, which is pretty much the vlx without hard tanks from what I understand. It has the diamond hull. When i bought it i was on a tight budget, here is my setup:

800lbs sumo sac in rear locker
540lbs sumo sac on surf side seats
540lbs sumo sac to play with in the bow. When we have a full crew with people sitting in the bow, we put that bag in the walkway to the bow under the middle fill cushion of the bow.

The wedge makes a huge difference, so i strongly recommend installing one when your budget allows it. We can surf ropeless with or without, it just makes the wave noticeably bigger and adds push.

I don't know anything about brands or anything but I saw a deal on Amazon and wanted to see what some people who knew more about it thought

2x 800's for rears(can I just not fill them all the way?)

1x 540 for center ski locker(same thing just not fill it all the way)

Also comes with a portable pump

 

These look exactly like my sumo sacs. I've tried different brands on friend's boats and the ones I prefer are the straightline products, the pump connects very well to the bags. If i had to buy a new setup, i would get the kit in that you posted!
