We have a 2017 and absolutely love it! In order for us to get a good consistent wave, it took weight! We added 1000 lbs sacs to the PNP setup as well as put in a tee and added 400 lbs sacs under the lockers on each side. As well as that, we've added 800 lbs of lead, 250 lbs shoved up against the transom as far out as possible on each side and 150 lbs at the back of each side locker. The other thing we did was move the surf tabs to the lowest hole position on the rams. Now that the boat is setup up properly, we surf it with everything full except the bow bag, 100% surf tab, and 0% center tab anywhere from 10.8 mph to 12.3 mph. The boat does not like bow weight or center tab. Both of which will soften the wave (sometimes good for kids and beginners) and kill the push. We surf mainly goofy, but this setup works well for regular as well. I will say it seems like we have to surf the regular side with about 50-75% of the starboard side PNP setup to make it work as well. I haven't played with the regular wave anywhere near as much because my whole family surfs goofy.

I haven't played with the regular wave anywhere near as much because my whole family surfs goofy. I'm in love with this boat and it will take a seriously good boat to pry this out of my fingers. My brother just got a ZS232 and so far I've been unimpressed. Not saying that it won't be great, as it likely will because the wave height it great, but because he was sold that it will surf better than my sac'd 238 right out of the box. This has not been the case as of yet. It seems way more picky on tab and speed setup. The wave is huge, but is really hard to get clean and is no where near as long (yet). I'm sure with time it will be great as well though. My experience is everything needs to be learned and tuned.

Thanks for all the help guys. I've pretty much got my bag/tank timing perfect now. Next on the list is to fix the regular side wave. I know everyone seems to say that they surf better regular than goofy, but my goofy wave is way better. I think it is because 90% of the people I go with are goofy, so I've spent the most time on that. More dialing will be needed for the regular side for sure. Anyway you look at it, I've never shirked so many responsibilities to play with something ever in my life before. Guess I must be having fun!

So I guess the biggest question would be how do I know when the front hard tank is empty then?

WOW, Cwazy1 just hit us with some serious science. Thanks! So, I contacted tech support yesterday at Supreme and got the following: QF -Fill = 2:30 -Drain = 1:30 Stock PNP -Fill = 6:30 -Drain = 5:30 Bow (Tank and Bag the same) -Fill = 5:30 -Drain = 4:30 I'm still not convinced everything is all full, specifically the hard tanks. I will play with it when I get a chance. Unfortunately we are having too much fun learning to surf to really have time to figure it out. Tech said that even the QF tanks will pee out of the vents when full. Not sure I'm buying that though.

So, we just picked up or first ever surf boat, and we love it! We did upgrade the PNP bags to 1100s based on what I've read here and the fact that we all ride goofy. We were able to dial in a decent wave, and my wife and I were both able to drop the rope on the first day. I did notice something odd when I went to adjust the ballast times in the touch screen. My starboard quick full time was 30 seconds shorter than port. Is there a default setting for everything? I did adjust it to match port, but how do I know the hard tanks are full? Is it possible to overfill? TIA
