So just saw on instagram cobalt coming out with an R33 Surf. I don't know if this is news to anyone, but it was to me. It would be interesting to surf behind that beast!

The R8 Surf throws a big wave. The R33 Surf seems like it will capsize some nearby boats!

We have an R8 surf and we are super happy with it. The wave is awesome. But we average 10-11 GPH when surfing. The R33 with twins I'm guessing would be 20-25 GPH to surf behind... expensive day... but i guess if you can drop 500K on a boat you can afford some expensive surf sessions.

Comparing R8 with R33 for surfing. We had a Cobalt R8 I learned to surf on. I had just got the hang of it without a rope and was addicted. Then we traded it in on the R33 surf. The wake was better on the R8. I really miss it. It was a cleaner wake. We have experimented with adjusting R33. Can't get a wake I really like. I can also see the difference in the wake in my pictures/videos. It has a lot of other pros, but I much prefer surfing behind the R8. I don't care to surf very long behind the R33 like I did the R8. I was planning to try to learn a 360 this summer, but probably not with the new boat. As far as speed, we do about 11.5-12 mph on the R33. I watched a video that recommended 12mph. I prefer to go slower. I really miss surfing behind the R8.
