Wake Surf - Response LXI

Recommended Posts

Exploring wake surfing, looking for best set up to attempt this with my Response LXI. I have a wedge, looking for input on speed, where to add weight and overall best adjustments to attempt making this work with my boat.

We use the wedge and a wooden surf gate. 200 pound up front, 1100 pounds in the back and 200 on the right side to keep the fuel vent above water. We go 9 to 11 mph. https://www.wakemakers.com/fly-high-fat-seat.html.

Thanks for input. What is a wooden surf gate? I know what a surf gate is but is this really made of wood or the manufacture?

I also have a Response LXi ('08) and was wondering the same thing. That wave doesn't look like it's worth risking a swamped boat.

That water looks POO BROWN. @roeboat if you position your weight a bit further you won't be so tail heavy, and should be able to ride that wave much easier better.

I think the success of riding without over weighting this boat is surfer and board dependant.  Look for a large surface area board, i started a thread a while back about good board for small wave.  I might be my style but the surf style boards are much easier to generate speed to keep up with the wave vs a skim style (you generate speed off the fins with a surf style board, vs a skim where you wiggle around like a hula dancer).  I was able to surf ropeless for a long time with very little weight (350 lbs sac in the rear and three people), a wedge, and DIY suck gate. I've got a Ronix Powertail.

Here's my s***ty wake...but remember its a ski boat ;)
