JieemQ did you make this one out of wood?

Made my own version of the Ghetto Gate on Tuesday. Only got to test it in a minimum load condition (07 220 with factory rear tanks filled) but was happy with the length and push. Can't wait to test it fully loaded.

Hey Nukemustang, are you planning to angle the gate on your sv-211?

yes, I hadn't thought too much of what angle to use, but just looking at the pics on the previous page, it seems to be about 60-70 degrees from perpendicular once installed.

Thanks! I see it now

I received an email from Mission this morning. First shipment will go out June 15th.

Thanks for the info! The only thing I don't quite get is where you drilled the release holes. Is it just behind the black part of the suction cup on each side?

look at the bottom of the 4th picture, I am not even sure they are necessary, but I went ahead and did it

NR2041 You are the MAN!!! Thanks for the dimensions. I picked up a "Sucker" this past weekend. Now need to cut up a cutting board and hopefully get the same results. Happy Surfing.

When are you putting the system on? Outside of water or while on the lake? I'm thinking that trying to put the system on I the water will not work because of water under the suction cups

I put it on in the water each time we got ready to surf, I can put on and take off from the swim platform, the suction handle has small relief holes drilled to allow water to escape from the back side of the suction cups to relieve pressure, we had no suction failures over three days

[nr2041]

here goes my best for a detailed write up on the suck gate I made.

materials one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/COSMOS-Aluminu...on+grip+handle

1/2" thick hdpe cutting board, I use a 15" x 20"

2 3" stainless bolt 5/16" I believe was the size, two SS nylon lock nuts, 16 SS washers, 6 1" SS sheet metal screws with tapered heads, small piece of 550 cord, left over extension for tow rope

first start by drilling hole through one of the plastic suction handles for release cord, then drill small holes through the metal to allow water pressure relief when applying suction, then measure and cut out boards, I used a skill saw and jig saw,
once I had the boards cut I drilled holes through the board and handles for the attachment bolts, see pics for location, then attached boards to the handle with 3 SS washers for spacing between the boards and handle, next I place a bolt I had laying around to make sure the gap stayed even from top to bottom, marked my plate , drill pilot holes for the screws and attached the plate, I used some coarse sand paper to smooth out the sharp edges, attached my safety tether and it was ready to go, see pics for the measurements, good luck to everyone trying this out and happy surfing!

We have a 02 Super Air and I would be interested in the dimensions.

Thanks again

Wow impressive results! I am definitely interested in the dimensions for the old 210 hull.

I would be interested in the dimensions for the OG 210 also!! Looks awesome!
