And what board you guys using I need another board using a liquid force doum 48 with not so good results I weigh 165

I would go with the 750s if I was you. I dont have the A20 so I cant comment on it.

x2 on the 750s. I have a '13 A20 so no surfgate, but I understand the weighting and you'll have a really nice surf wake if you run the 750 bags. I picked up a Phase 5 Danielo Diamond at the beginning of the season and I love it. I haven't been on too many surf boards though so can't help with comparisons, but read a lot of good things about the Danielo and really happy that I bought it.

Wow, if you can you really should find deeper water to wakeboard in. That is super shallow. For a proper wake to develop, you need about 10 feet of water minimum. You will find that the wake will be much bigger with the exact same setup if you get into a better location.

If you go with 750s in the back make sure you get a bag to set on top of the 950 in the bow. It only fills to about 600 and the cushions start popping up. You'll never plane with that much weight in the back and the swim platform will crush your wave. I've only got the 400s in the back of mine and too many people in the back will make the platform kill the wave.

I'm considering getting 750s for my a20 and then taking the 400s I currently have and putting them in the bow

What board you guys with a20 running? I'm looking for a good board that can handle a small wave the liquidforce isn't one of em the girlfriend weighs 120 lbs and can ride it good but I'm 175 and sinking it.if I slow to 9 mph the wake gets wide and I can stay up but it's not the way it needs to be

Do you have the wicked wave surf gate attachment? What is your weight setup? You should be able to get a decent wave at 10.6mph.

I ride a humanoid the flux for surf style, and. Hyperlite broadcast with the large center fin removed for skim. The wave is not small IMO. The pocket is big enough for you to ride 10' behind the boat with out trouble catching up. It. Mine gets a really nice curl on it. Granted I'm very new to surfing, and am not working on varial flips or anything. 360s and 720s are totally doable.

My 2011 A20 makes a great surf wave. With only one or two people in the boat I run PnP front full, port 750+400 3/4-full, Center full, and play with the right to make sure you have a good smooth wave. I adjust ballast according to the amount of people I have on board. I have noticed that too much weight can make the wave just too tall with very little push and a nasty spot in the bottom that will eat the board if you get too close to the boat. That said, I have not tried to add tons of weight in the front if I have a bunch of weight. Board wise, I ride a Hyperlite Broadcast.
