By using Fat Sacs to enhance your wakeboarding experience as placing weight in different parts of your boat can change the shape of wakes, and are used by wake boarders and wake surfing enthusiasts alike. By adding ballast bags to your boat it will help the boat to sit lower in the water, especially on the side you will be surfing on. To create an optimal wake surfing wake, generally the majority of the ballast weight in the back corner plus smaller amounts of ballast distributed towards the front, lengthens and smooths out the wake.
