This may be a noob question but here it goes anyway. I have 750# bags in the rear lockers. When we a surfing I throw another 300# on the seat of the surfing side. Would it bother the 750 bag if I put the 300# on top of it in the locker? Or would it be smarter to just upgrade to an 1100# bag?

I don't see where it would hurt to fill it on top of the 750. It may change your wave shape because the weight is in a different place on the boat.

I don't see any reason not to try it. But I worry it will cause the 750 bag to empty, in which case that isn't going to help your wave at all.

But seriously, what a pain to deal with another bag when you could just push a button if you spent a little on a 900 or 1100.

Any sack on top of the rear sack will push water out of the bottom sack. get bigger rear sacks
