|
|
Ok so me and my friend have been wakeskating behind his boat and we have been having a difficult time finding the wakes sweetspot because it always seems like the shape is changing on us what are you supposed to look for? a more rounded wake or a cut off wake or is it just personal preference?
what do you guys ride?
srry lots of questions here

Kavanaugh, What kind of boat is it? You're probably going to want a mellow rampy wake with the lip peaking, but not washing over. This USUALLY happens at about 65 ft. and 22-24 mph. The faster you go, the further out you'll want to put the line, and the slower you go, the closer in.

sweat spot occurs at the start up, aka the hammer aka the sweat spot aka your mom
but as far as ur wakes shape, its all prefrence, some like a white water lip and some like a clean lip, some like peaky, and some like it soft, its all personal, and what ever u got to play with, so just ride and have fun!
