Wake9 RZ2 Longwave

ragboy — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 10:14:01 +0000

Ragboy and RJ have some fun with ballast and speed with the RZ2. The goal was to make a longer wake than normal. Just how versatile is the surf wake behind the RZ2?

Got Sac?

ragboy — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 23:14:44 +0000

Over the summer RJ and I have dialed in a GREAT wake on the 2010 Tige RZ2. Our next challenge was to simply modify the pro stock ballast system in the RZ2 to accomodate a larger rear sac, and then have our dialed in GREAT wake at the push of a button, fully automated. How did we do it? What us make the change in a few minutes with a pair of channel locks while floating on the lake.

2010 Spring Festival – Surfing the Supreme V226

ragboy — Wed, 26 May 2010 09:41:54 +0000

So we RJ, Dennis, Chase, Farrah, Dave and Maddie had a great time surfing the V226. It had a great wake on both sides. The pocket seemed a little shorter than the RZ2 but I didn’t hear any complaints, everyone enjoyed it. I heard the goofy wake may be a bit better than the regular, but both sides were good. Watch the video and check the photos section to see for yourself. I have to apologize in advance for our intro.

2010 Spring Festival Competition – Expression Session

ragboy — Mon, 24 May 2010 16:11:57 +0000

This was a great session with 3 great names in wakesurfing. Chase Hazen, James Walker and Johnny Stieg. This is the first division where James and Chase went head to head, James nailed his run, and Chase faltered a bit, but there is still the Open Surf division, and Chase came back hard for that one. It was great watching these guys battle.
