Couple things: first I hate when people say for most skill levels u don't need this or don't need that. Yes u don't need it but it sure as heck is fun! So long as can be ridden at decent speed(below 23). All u guys talk about loading surf boats to the max and how much fun that is well same is true I think of wakeboarding. Bigger=funner! Just so happens u can make a G wake freaking huge and it's still not a touchy lip folding mess sub 23mph! Now I have no problem believing that a Xstar can get huge but if it's weighted like the Op is saying in this thread then I'm sure I want no part of it. Because I'm sure your pushing 24mph and that sucker is ready to fold over if someone so much as sneezes in the boat!
Watching the throwdown this weekend on TV I'll say that star wake didn't look the best to me either. The slow mo shots showed me a wake that had a crumbly lip just begging to catch your edge. Even parks made a comment on it. And watch the same pros at pwt behind the SE the week before it certainly appeared they had an easier time behind the supra than those stars....
