I hear things like this all the time. The first things everyone looks at is how much weight, how fast, blah blah.
Yeah those are important but more important is the board type, and the experience of the rider. Is this a setup you've surfed before with this board and rider? If so then something is definitely amiss. I'd swap boards and then riders to ensure it's not a "human" issue.
I agree with most of this. My question is: how many in your crew? Where are they in the boat? What's your weight and what boards and length of boards? Depth? Speedo calibrated?
In my opinion, with the 1100 sack against the rear seat you need an extra 750 sack in the walk way to get the "V" part of the hull down more so it can displace more water instead of pointing straight up just plowing water. There is a point of diminishing returns on just weight in the back. Just like adding extra bow weight, in addition to the bow sack, when wakeboarding firms up the wake for more "pop", adding extra bow weight for surfing when running extra sacks or large crew in the back will also firm up the wake. The more firm the wake, the more push you will get instead of a weak, tall wave.
