pickle Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Has anyone used and or had problems with straight line sumo sacs? I pic up a 600lbs bag and now it appears this year is an improved bag with strong 1" ports?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crlarson13 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 just bought two 900 lb Sumo Sacs. I am going to try them out next weekend. they look to be of very good quality. I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFTR Josh Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have a 450 Sumo and it's been awesome. Grown up using Fly High but once I had the chance I jumped with Sumo. No more water being spilled and wider profile to sit in the bow and not roll around. Build quality is second to non so you made a great choice.

pickle Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks guys. I was told there was an issue with bags that were made prior to 2014 basically with the 1" npt ports stretching and leaking. I have been unable to find a review with any issues, other than a few WW guys dogging them bc they don't say fly high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volfo Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 How is water not spilled? Different mechanism for attaching the pump line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFTR Josh Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 How is water not spilled? Different mechanism for attaching the pump line? Yes! It's pressured with a spring and not really but a drop or 2 come out when taking the pump off when full or attaching to empty. I had to get the sumo pump since I couldn't find any parts to fit my Tsunami pump. Well worth the investment for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future22 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I just got a set of the new Ronix eight.3 1100's and pump. To me it seemed like a no brainer considering it pumps 3700gph vs 1200gph for the tsunami. I'd much rather be surfing than spending all that extra time waiting. I guess we'll see how they work soon!

pickle Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I usually spend all day at the lake, a few minutes to drink my beer while the bags fill is no biggie. Plus then what would I bitch about if I didn't have to wait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus then what would I bitch about if I didn't have to wait? That's how I used to feel, then I found plenty of other stuff to complain about...

buffalow Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I just got the RONIX Sacks with 3800 GPM pump - These are one of the best innovations in a decade. They are awesome. Fast, check valves, trapezoid shape, very little water splashing,etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Well may have to try one out some time...no lie I was going el cheapo route this summer. Hopefully I can get my wife hooked on surfing that will open the door for an automated system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Oh and FYI the o-ring size for sumo sacs is 25mm x 31mm x 3mm....took several trips to ace hardware to figure out the pump made over seas has a metric sized o-ring... How dare they!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast, check valves, trapezoid shape, very little water splashing,etc... How fast is the pump in real world usage? The promo video shows the 400lbs bag filled up under 2min so that means an 1100lbs should be just around 6min. That's pretty damn fast if it's as good as advertised.

buffalow Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Demo - Insanely fast. I did a little "test" I filled my 400LB sack in the time the rider grabbed his rope, jacket and board to the back of the boat. He had not even put on board or tied on the rope. It's fast. It's drains faster. Just make sure to leave the velcro panel close upon filling. First day I opened it and filled it up past the zipper - dummy me! It's faster than the ballast tanks for sure. I see lots of the surf guys are using it over their built in ballast or removing their bags and converting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future22 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 It should be crazy fast compared to others! I can't wait to give it a try on my 1100. We should post filling times on different setups. What do you have and how long does it take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the hell was I in this thread and missed the O ring size. So many damn trips to Lowe's and it's still spraying water out. LOL, next trip I should be solid oldsmobiledriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two 1100s Eight.3's in my corners and I can fill them both up in about 10 minutes. Draining takes about the same time. I downgraded from the 3700 gallon to the 3000 because the fuse kept popping. I would also suggest to keep the engine running while filling these up so you don't drain the battery. Another good tip is to tie a rope to your pump when you throw it overboard because that pump is heavy and could end up at the bottom of the lake in no time. oldsmobiledriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
