    well I'm in to try it. The wave looks impressive for such a relatively inexpensive mod.

    1 cosmos handle and an 18" x 24" HDPE cutting board is now on its way to SC....

    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

    after this weekend I can say that I am not changing my surf gate at all from the current design, the wave is great, extra ballast stay nice and clean, just bigger, rode it yesterday with stock ballast filled and 8 people in the boat, rose today with just three in the boat and, if anyone is thinking about making one of these I would not hesitate for one second, it really works very well, did not come off one time all weekend, if anyone wants the dimensions I used for the older style 210 hull I will measure everything and post them up, just have to say thanks to the forums and great people that make them such an awesome place for learning and creating things like this!

    mounting just like this, with older 210 hull the angled area with a 90 degree gate works perfect, with the newer boats I would want to open up that angle a bit, I have not measured mine to see what angle it makes it compared to the side of the hull

    Whered you get it?
    also if that made the port side good I bet the starboard side wake is awesome. While you're posting pics can you show a little more about where you drilled the holes in the suction handle? Thanks!
    cutting board was 15" x 20" 9 bucks from SAMs club

    Looks great! No issues with putting it on and off in the water? Looks like I'm going to hafta make one of these too. Where'd you get the cutting board that size?

    got to test out the gate today, factory ballast on 03 sante plus five people, wave was super clean, pocket long enough to ride at end of surf rope and come back to boat, wave was not as big as previous setup, but previous setup was 800 lb sack in floor, two 350 lb sacks in port seats plus factory, so I am very happy and satisfied with the gate currently, I didn't get any pics today but will tomorrow, btw it did not fall off one time
