The port side is always easy to make a good wave since the prop rotation is in favor of that side. Starboard is always hard because you fight the prop wash. On my boat sv240 08 i try to lean the boat until the back corner of the rub rail is in the water on the side I am going to surf. That's were I get my push from and the A plate is for cleaning up the wave. I got 300 to 350 lbs in the front
