Let me know how it goes!

nr2041, for reference I mounted mine in the same place with the same suction cups with a 12"wide x 18" long gate banked at 30 degrees and the wave is awesome but it falls off about 25% of the time. Gonna be trimming it this weekend and making it smaller. Let me know how the 90 degree angle works for you.

NR2041... What are the dimensions for the "gate" section?

8" tapering to 6" x 9.5" I used .5" hdpe from cutting board, the gate size may change after testing, but seemed like a good starting point

Also interested in a group buy. Mission guys, are you open to this?

[nr2041]

for this version I used this handle
http://www.amazon.com/COSMOS-Aluminu.../dp/B007VL3CB0

have not had a chance to test it yet, it should not be hard to put on in the water though, there are several different ways people have mounted the plate to the handle, but this way imo will keep the water pressure from pulling up the release levers, I'll post some updates when I can get it water tested

[gdhall]

what suction cup did you get? how easy is that to put on in the water?

[nr2041]

here is my version of the suck gate, I also stumbled across the tt forum and came up with what I thought was the best design, have not had a chance to test yet

are the bolts sticking out just in case you miss one of the kids you are trying to run over? JK, seriously though - Im kind of interested to see how this works... just make sure you dont sell any of them or you'll probably be looking at a copyright infringement lawsuit.

This version I'm looking for function, I can pretty it up later. Just used a few nuts/bolts I had on hand it was either really long or too short lol. There are plenty of these in use already, with some success (and faliure), but I feel with as many ppl are collectively toying with the design it's really a couple weeks before there is a tried and true design.

I am interested once its confirmed it works on a 2nd generation 210 [2008].

Here is V1.0. Took a little over an hour to put together. About $35 in parts.

For now I just used some spare plywood I had. I made a smaller and large plate. When I get on the water I'll test both and then make a pretty version out of HDPE.

I'm down for a group buy. Waiting for some feedback on the 210 shape...

Ordered one and will test against the skate ramp solution (as I already have that). The slight curve of my hull (2000 Super Air) does not allow the skate ramp to connect securely at all points (although it has not been in danger of coming off). The skate ramp solution works well. However, the Mission solution is cleaner, smaller, and looks easier to switch sides. More importantly, you don't have to worry about the Velcro coming off the ramp or boat over time. If the Mission solution works just as well (or dare I hope better) as the skate ramp solution, the delta in price will be worth it to me (in which case I will have a pre-velcro'd skate ramp for sale). If not, I can return it or sell it to someone else who does not want to put Velcro on their boat. Stay tuned.

Emailed Mission with a few pics of my 226. The 226 has a more stepped hull than a 220. They responded within a day:

Thanks for the photo's. I think you should be able to find a spot that works. It is possible to place one cup on blue surface and one on the white if the step offset is not very large. We do have a 30 day return policy so you're welcome to give it try and send it back if you can't find a spot to stick it.

The "blue surface" is the blue strip below the rub rail. Well above the waterline at idle, but probably the waterline when weighted and underway for surfing. Have to give these a try!
