wakesurfing behind x22

[TrueBuckeye]

I've got a 99 x22 and have been trying all summer to surf behind it but can never seem to get that good curl that allows you to ditch the rope.  I'm at the point now where I can ditch the rope for a little bit but I have to be right on the swim deck and there is hardly any sweet spot to stay in.  I have been seeing numerous boat out on the lake I boat on surfing with great big curls.  Some of the boats are only 19-20 d-drives that looked fairly loaded down.  I have seen a post on here before about the swim deck causing problems washing out the wake.  Does anyone have any pointers for getting that good curl?  Right now I've just got the 500lb stock ballast in the rear a two 250 lb portables.  I usually have around 1200 lbs worth of people in there as well so I've got quite a bit of weight.

I have the SX v-drive and have to put a ton of weight in the bow.  weight in the back only makes the wake washout.  Also, I raised my swim deck 7 inches to keep it from dragging.. We surfed this weekend and had it curling pretty nice.  remember to only weigh the side of the boat you are surfing on too!

I have an e22 1999 an also having a problem making a good wake for surfing. was thinking about a wedge or mabe a tabs system does the stock wake plate make a difference? Anyone instaled a switchblade on a epic 22 or am I crazy?
