I ride a bryant 210 with no tower. It barely has a wake. How can i make it bigger so i can do tricks behind my boat and not just my friends boats?

Thanks

i think they make big bags that you can fill with water to put inside your boat to add weight. im gonna have to do the same thing or just get some really fat friends

You can buy fat sacs on ebay. You can also go to the website, wakemakers.com. I think boardstop.com even sells some.

Here is a long thread about how to set up an I/O for wakeboarding. Enjoy.

You need weight in the front and weight in the middle. Lot of it. Start with 500lbs in the now then work from there. Make sure you watch speed and trip up/down to fix the wake to where you lik it

You don't have to have a big wake to do tricks.

Or need a lot of money to get a bigger wake. Back in the days we used to load our boat (with diy-extended pylon) with rocks we found on the shore and had some bags with sand in it. Not ideal but didn't cost a penny.
But yeah what MrShelley says, it's not bad at all to learn with a smaller wake to really learn proper technique. Work on that till you get a big wake.
