[@jargero8203]

Tha ks for showing us where it goes... preciate it

[@GearsAndTech]

No problem

[@tannerdns9048]

Going to be trying surf mode out this weekend on a pretty small ski boat. Currently using a single wake shaper so we'll see if all these claims are true about this maverick system

[@GearsAndTech]

Let us know how it goes. I ran a smaller boat for a few years. I couldn't use the maverick Becaise the middle of the boat was so high out of the water If you have that problem jusy move the middle shaper back until it is in the water

[@chadgrahovac6308]

Great video. I had a question if you ever see this. I just bought a 2014 moomba mojo 2.5 , my ballast bags are in the same spots and I have suf gates on the back of the boat. Any advice on how to set up ballast for the bast wave?

[@GearsAndTech]

Same setup Your surf tabs are not the best. Try putting a suck gate on the side of the boat how I show in this video and use your surf tab on the back. It'll help

[@kellyshort7631]

What is the phone app bag fill system you are using? Great vid! Thanks!

[@GearsAndTech]

It's called wave form. The project is being put on hold for now. But keep an eye out. Version 2.0 may end up dropping soon When it does I'll have some details

[@chesterroberts4647]

I tried surfmode yesterday for the first time. I have a older Sanger direct drive. The wave was okay for a ski boat. There’s a lot of spray off that comes in the boat. Mainly off of the middle one. Do you have any ideas to reduce it?

[@GearsAndTech]

Move it down further. If you can't move it down more, then move it back 6" then try again Keep moving it back till spray is gone

[@georgewhite1450]

Why do you not use a front ballast bag? I was always under the impression that "more weight" has the biggest effect on the wave.

[@GearsAndTech]

I don't not put any weight in the front. I go through my complete setup in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z16ZgWWunLWtjs0

[@georgewhite1450]

Do you now what your pitch and roll are (I didn't see them in video)?

[@GearsAndTech]

Unfortunately I don't.

[@MCCB1999]

How does this compare to your DIY Auto Surf system that you installed with the Lenco trim tab kit?

[@GearsAndTech]

The wake plates were too small. Wave looked good, but didn't have the push we wanted I went back to using the suck gates This season I'm going to look at making bigger plates for the trim tabs and give it another go. I just have so many projects to do I'm not sure if I'll have time to work on the plates at all

[@kcampbell0031]

Where do you get the Green Amazon Gate? I've tried finding it without luck. Has it been discontinued?

[@GearsAndTech]

I recently went looking for it too. Couldn't find it They come from over seas and aren't marketed well.

[@flamingophone]

Bro you got quality vids.. why arent you more popular?

[@GearsAndTech]

Mostly just grinding away building the audience one view at a time. We will get there Thanks for the support!

[@kiterJ]

This is so cool I thought you were just a gamer and cars guy. I surf and foil a lot. Have you got into foil yet Anton?

[@darrelltew6734]

Have you helped anyone set up a Malibu 23 XTi? (Weight and placement) I have removed the rear seat and have a 1500 pound WakeMakers custom rear ballast bag and additional fat sacs available for this mid-engine boat. I've also installed evolution surf tabs, but I'm struggling to make a usable surf wave.

[@GearsAndTech]

That 1500 lbs bag plus another 500 in the back should do it Then two suck gates on the side

[@gonyg5316]

Try at least 600 pounds in the bow along with a minimum of 1000 pounds in the centre to front. I find with mine that I don’t get the push from the wave without having this front ballast plus the boat sits more level and comes on plane quicker and is easier to steer. Just be careful not to swamp it when backing off and coming back around to get your rider

[@brydenferrato6543]

Hey there this is awesome. Do you have any suggestions on which boat I should buy to be able to generate a great wave but still an economical boat? Looks like you have the centurion cyclone. Any other boats you recommend? I ideally dont want to spend $60k+ for the boat.

[@GearsAndTech]

Centurion with c4 hull or supreme Best bang for the buck

[@andyeighttre]

Sanger and MB*

[@reggiewhitaker427]

I’ve added a lot of weight to my boat but I can’t get the boat to plane. Can you help me with that?

[@GearsAndTech]

yes, if you cant get to surf speed you need to get a better prop, or put more weight in the bow. Only add bow weight until you get to surfing speed though. Any faster and you sacrifice wave height for the ability to go faster. Your wave will get longer as well. But most people want tall before they want long

[@noahv7237]

Yo I got the same boat as you, what does your ballast look like?

[@GearsAndTech]

I go through my ballast setup and everything in this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z16ZgWWunLWtjs0

[@mr2_mike]

Surf mode definitely has a wider surf area to ride. Would make it easier for beginners.

[@GearsAndTech]

Agreed!

[@EternalHappElements]

the title makes no sense to me but the content is a plus.

[@GearsAndTech]

It's the opposite of click bait. Undersell it with the title and knock your socks off with the content

[@catog2745]

Is it possible to make wakesurfe waves on a regular boat with outboard engine?

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes, but very dangerous. Riders falling in will get killed by the prop.

[@catog2745]

Very dangeruous or just a small possibility? I can not find anyone even falling into a boat when wakesurfing.

[@zebulongwyn8363]

Hello I have a question totally unrelated to this video but anyway I am unable to connect my dual sense edge to my besavior controller via Bluetooth. I’ve watched all of your videos and other besavior videos and I just can’t get it. Could you help me out please. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a few months now and I like anything of yours I watch

[@windyriverfarm3562]

Don’t you have a surf system on your boat that you made with lenco system

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes. I am doing modifications to that system this year to dial it in The surf mode actually made a better wave so I stuck with that for the season
