I fill my front bag under the seats as full as possible and lay a 350lb bag on top surf side in the bow, I fill rear surf side hard tank and 750lb bag in rear locker, I also put an extra 350lb bag behind the driver. My wife and I both surf goofy. It also helps to have the new platform.

What year boat? Makes a little bit of a difference because of the platform

More bow weight or more speed will lengthen the wave. Am I weighting just like above if its just a couple of us. Otherwise I replace human ballast for the sacs on the seats. I surf at 11.0mph wedge up.
