-----------wakes-----------

I have owned a Malibu and now an Epic. I have ridden behind almost every boat, except a newer Tige. My Malibu wake was mediocre at best, with an additional 2400 lbs to fill up on the seats every set. One of my best friends Nautique 220 TEAM is good at best with an additional 3000 lbs in lockers and in the bow. My other friends X-star with the plug and play system is good. Supra loaded out mediocre. Then I got my Epic.... Running the Epic with 1/2 ballast front and 1/4 in both back tanks beats every wake listed above hands down in size and shape. And then if you want you can add another 2500 lbs and run the ballast full.... If you have seen it or ridden behind it you would never want to ride another boat again. It makes everything so effortless. The only complaint is with full ballast the wake is very touchy with where people sit... but if you have a good crew its not an issue.

The jump from getting on an xstar to an Epic is like going from Tee-ball to batting against Nolan Ryan in his prime. I would strongly suggest moving into the transition easily. I learned this the hard way and on my first set cranked the ballast all the way up and went straight into my inverts. First toeside crow of the day was way to huge and overrotated to a broken fibia in my left leg and a torn miniscus and ACL in my right knee.

Yah it really is that big.....
