Set Up and body position behind a "not 3 event certified" V-Drive

Were talking a Wakesetter free skiing. What is the safest position crashing through a hard wake? Rope low hips up.  Ski rolled up at a high angle? Tip high or low? Any experiences?

Same as any boat.  I have a friend who runs 32 off behind his wakesetter.  Don't forget to empty the ballast!

Before we got our Nautique, we skied behind a lot of non-three event boats.  I always found that the more aggressive I skied back to the wakes, the faster and more on edge the ski was, which allowed the ski to cut through the wakes.  Body position didn't change much
