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.

How to Wakesurf 101: Going Wireless

ragboy — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 07:02:18 +0000

So this is the next 101 video in our series. After you Get em Up, you have to get them Going Wireless, or Freeriding, which basically means surfing without the rope. The key, just like getting them up is feet position, but also balance and smooth easy corrections. In this video we detail how to accomplish this, and how to teach others how to go wireless quickly.

When people watch these videos, there are often lots of questions, and we want to help, but its tough to stay on top of all the emails. So go HERE and feel free to post any questions, and feel free to post pictures of your results, we LOVE to see them.

Here are a bunch of great pictures of the day:

MyWake is HERE, and Just having FUN

ragboy — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:39:32 +0000

We always have something to do, especially with the MyWake contest and the Festival and such, always a video or something to test, etc, etc. Now don’t get me wrong, we love it, but it has been HOT, over 100 degrees lately and sometimes you just want to spend some time surfing and swimming. And that is what we did, and we had so much fun, we figured we had to share it.

New 2010 RZ2 for Wake9.com

ragboy — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:39:44 +0000

So, were hoping to have ready by the 4th, but either way we are stoked. I originally came up with some colors and then Danny from Tige asked me if he could just design something sick with a WHITE tower. That sounded intriguing. I am always up for an adventure, so I said ok. He’s hispanic, we should be simpatico, right?

Here is a slideshow, we will keep blogging as we get more pics, and then when it is delivered.

OK, I am REALLY interested to see how this tower is going to look. Has anyone seen a white alpha z tower in the wild?
