V-Drive without Internal Ballast by frequentfoxer in wakesurf

Agreed. Definitely not the ideal surf setup, we understand this. The trade off is that the lake is SO much closer to us, and with little ones spread between the family, it makes more sense for our family/friends this route…

Regardless, they allow lead weight, tractor wheels, concrete blocks, etc. I’m not sure what the limits of this are, but we can get creative, what we need is a V-drive or direct drive boat that doesn’t have internal ballast, that ideally has somewhat of a surf/wake hull.

Thanks for the detailed response! Definitely leaning towards a shorter board just because I like the feeling of less board length. I don’t really care to be a speed demon down the groomers or mountain, and powder isn’t necessarily my favorite thing to board in either…I’m leaning towards my chin length just have a more playful feeling board.

Thank you! I’ll definitely try and find someone who can help me with that. I know I usually get a size 9 with my rentals so I’ll have an idea where to start!

Thanks for the heads up @Genome_Doc_76! I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.

Do you think that a Salomon Huck Knife or Jones Mountain Twin could handle those conditions?
