The hydrogate will also help as well to substitue for wieght in the front.

Here are some pictures from our FIRST attempt on our 230. This is with some additional weight but not a lot.

Both sides included.

This wave is pretty close to the 210 fully wieghted.

This is not encouraging to me. I just sold my 210 hoping to upgrade to a 230 for a bigger boat and a better surf wake. I have yet to see a picture of a surf wake from a 230 that I am impressed with.

Chattwake, what board is that? I am about 230 and need to find a good wakesurfer.

Looks like a LF Venture to me. You should look at an Inland Surfer Squirt. I tip the scales at around 235 and I'm able to ride this board fine. We also have a Venture and have never been able to free ride that board. The Squirt is small and very fast/responsive - lot of fun to ride.

It is a liquid force venture. The board is cheap, but is super easy to ride and I dont' care if it gets banged up. I have a few smaller boards, but for just goofing around or teaching people, which is what I was doing in those videos, that 5.6 venture is perfect.

well i am pretty impresed because these pictures are all stalk wieght and The wave is pretty big for just that. IR would like to see one fully wieghted to see exactly how big it can get though.

I will definitely reserve final judgment for a 230 that has some significant weight in it. The creative camera angles look cool, but make it hard to judge wake size.

my 230 with 3400 lbs of ballast makes a pretty sick wave. i don't have any pictures though. i'm going out on Saturday with some friends, so if i fully load it out, i'll take some pictures of the wave. i doubt i will put that much weight in it this weekend though.

Please do. I'd like to see what it's capable of with add'l ballast.

230 wakesurfing

We have wakesurfed for a little over a year on 230 SAN's (2008 & 2010 now). If you are regular, fill up Factory Tank for Port & Belly, then add a 440lb Fatsac in the Port Aft compartment, then a Surf Sac on the Port side (1100lb..... put cooler on the floor to hold this L shape bag up), then put a 440lb. bag in the bow (about full) and this will give you a long tall surf wave guaranteed. We start on the swim platform and rock off without a rope, and can ride for miles while slashing and spins.

I was thinking the same thing...from where I sit. Really, I think they just need weight in the bow.
