I have a 2016 scarab 195 impulse and I am wanting to sure without the rope but can’t get a big enough wave is there anything I can do to help create a bigger wave
 
let's see pictures or even better, video of what you currently have,

generic answer is ballast bags,
 
but many things play into surfing with out the rope,

rider size
board type
wave size

and then probably the most important factor, rider ability,

.
 
Displacement of water + depth of water + wave shaping device will give you a surfing wave.

It is set up with the ballast system, and we are all beginners but I had a buddy that is good at wake surfing and he came out yesterday and could only let go of the rope briefly then fell out the back of the wave. I mean it still fun to do it with the rope just looking to create a better wave if that’s possible

Hi,

I was wondering how you made out? Were you ever successful at getting a cleaner & bigger wake?
