1987 Supra Saltare

[wotan2525]

That's with 2100lbs all in one corner. I still don't have my bags installed in my ski locker or under my rear seat so my current setup is 700lb bag behind the engine, 700lb bag on the side of the engine and a 700lb bag going diaganol across those two.

Yeah.... it sits pretty damn low. Just got back... still can't ride out of that 360. Grrr!

Have you done them with the handle? Pull yourself back into the pocket and keep trying 'em but without falling. For me the trick was to accel from back to front of pocket, drag the rear hand, then turn the nose slow and ride right up the wave. The goal is kind of to stall out on top the wave when you are backwards, then you turn the nose back down the wave and ride right out of it. Just like pumping out of any regular big turn up the wave.


That is a lot of weight! The most we ever use is about 1600lbs.

I can do them with the handle all day.... That's so weird that you say that about your back hand... my roomie and I are in an arms race to see who can get them down first (he's completely gifted when it comes to board sports and he's irritated that I'm a better surfer than he is.... he's a 20x better wakeboarder, though.) Anyway.... I use my front hand to spin around and he's trying to use his back hand.... most of the youtube clips I've seen are using the front hand. I think next time out I'm going to try with my Oogle as it has a lot more push and may help me pump back into the pocket.

I know it's my front hand cause that's where I hold the handle if I use it. Check this video, click on the surf 360 link: http://www.howtowakesurf.com/Trick_List.jsp

Hah! The "directional" transom light is just waiting for the new LED to go in.....

I think you need a few more tower speakers, lol. Looks great!

Needs more tower speakers...... What are ya, deaf????

Boat looks good. Random question, do your boat guides on the back of the trailer stick way out? Mine do, even though the mount and the poles are straight, they stick out a good bit. I thought about using a bender and putting a small curve in them to bring them in, but didn't know if I'd be able to get the boat on and off then.

Edit: Damnit, too slow.

No -- I would say with the pads on the guide-posts they only sit about 2-3" inches from the boat. They do their job and guide the boat straight on. I've never had much of a problem getting the boat on the trailer straight and I power-load it right on. No rear tie-downs or any other messing around, just drive her on and latch the strap.
