HI
I am ocean longboard surfer, for years, strickly goofy foot. I tried wakesurfing first time, on a friends boat, with a 9' board years ago. So, when wakesurfing became popular my husand bought a 5'6" hyperlite.
We have a mastercraft X2, so we surf on the left(passenger side) of the boat. We tried the other side, but the wake is mush, even with the balast adjusted.

We make a great wake for it, my husband and some of our friends are really good, free riding, tricks, etc. But they all ride regular. I have tried many times, regular and goofy, and I can't control the board that well.

Left foot forward is really akward, and I have no control on my toe edge. I end up shooting out to left, and can't make it back into the wake.

Another problem is the board, I can't seem to make the adjustment to this twig of a surfboard! The shortest board I have ever ridden is 8'!

I am riding switch more on the wakeboard. In the ocean, I have only attempted it a few times, unsuccesfully.

I made an indo board, out of one of our old wakeboards, will that help??
Does anybody have any suggestions? Embarassed

thanks

I wish I did.

I have never ocean surfed, but I wake surf all the time. I ride strictly goofy on the surf too, and it is so limiting! I can ride switch much better on a wakeboard, but you've got bindings to keep you stable. Goin ropeless is easier than thought but if I try any tricks I have to stay on the rope or I loose the push.

I hope you hear something tho!

What year X2? A friend of mine has an 07, and I always surf on the starboard side. The wake isn't quite as good, but it's not that bad.

JRW160

a 2003 X2, maybe that makes a difference, our wake on that side is all mush, no push at all, when set up for wakesurfing.

That's a completely different hull, so they aren't comparable at all.
